Bill Granger Author

Bill Granger is the resident king of his (and everyone else's) home kitchen. He has always had a passion for cooking, since serving his parents breakfast in bed at 7 years old. He is a self-taught cook with a strong philosophy that food should always be a joy, never a chore. This easy-going approach to food is an essential element to his enduring popularity in Australia and the UK. He was born in Melbourne but moved to Sydney where he opened his first restaurant, bills, at the age of 22, and bills Surry Hills only three years later; a third Sydney restaurant opened in July 2005. In March this year he opened his first beachside restaurant, in greater Tokyo! - where Bill's customers queue for up to 2 hours to sample his trademark dishes. Previous cookbooks include bills Sydney food, bills food, bills open kitchen, simply bill, Every Day, and Holiday, all international best sellers. In all, he has sold over 800,000 books and has been translated into 5 languages.
