Margaret Fulton - Australian food writer and journalist's 97th Birthday

-


Margaret Fulton, was born on 5 October, 1924, in Nairn, Scotland. Margaret Fulton, emigrated to New South Wales, at three years old. 

At 18, Fulton moved to Sydney in the hope of becoming a dress designer, but after hearing a prediction, that the food industry would boom in post-war Australia, she instead pursued a career in cookery. 

In 1947, Fulton took a position as a cooking teacher for a utility company, where she found her passion for developing easy-to-follow recipes, while teaching a class for visually impaired home cooks.  

Fulton refined her recipes in the decades that followed, while working as a pressure cooker salesperson, advertising executive, and food journalist. In 1968, she published the first of 25 cookbooks, titled, “The Margaret Fulton Cookbook”, which has sold over 1.5 million copies.    

Happy birthday, Margaret Fulton!
