Meet the Speakers #5 - Natascha Mirosch

Natascha Mirosch is the food and nutrition reporter at the Courier Mail. She started off her journalistic career as a travel writer, but her love of good food and interest in the cuisines of the places she visited began to dominate her writing.

During the nineties, she freelanced for many publications in the UK , including regular restaurant reviewing and a wine column.

Between 2000 and 2004, Natascha took time off to have a child, write a book and go back to Uni to finish her degree in literature.

In 2004 she started as restaurant reviewer for The Brisbane News, then moved to the Courier Mail, beginning at HOME magazine, then moving on to feature writing for Good Life, the Tuesday food lift out.

Today, she writes about food for both the news and features section of the Courier Mail and reviews for the annual Courier Mail Food and Wine Guide as well as the Australian Gourmet Traveller Restaurant Guide. Natascha has judged meat for the EKKA, cheese for the Cheese Festival and helped decided What Wine Women Want for the Brisbane Fine Wine Festival.

She is a passionate supporter of artisan producers and locally grown products, a keen, (albeit erratic) cook and always an enthusiastic diner.
