Kate and Mandy chat with cook, author, radio and TV presenter and Australian Masterchef royalty Julie Goodwin!

The three met at a Neighbours Every Day event earlier in the year, when after chatting with Kate and Mandy, Julie discovered that she was a Pea! Julie has an adult son with autism and has plenty of experience in not only cooking up beautiful dishes on TV, but cooking to suit her son’s particular eating and food challenges. When Mandy and Kate told Julie that they’d always wanted to do a Too Peas episode on food, cooking and eating, Julie was well and truly up for the challenge.

Enjoy this amazing episode where Julie talks about her “wild” experience on the first season of Masterchef, the differences between ‘mum cooking’ and ‘fun cooking’ and how to find the joy in cooking for children with challenges such as food aversions, sensory and textural challenges, choking risks, fussiness and reluctance to change. Julie also gives some insider info on how she perfects her cookbook recipes, and some hot tips on making daily cooking less of a drag.

Keep an eye out for Julie’s upcoming new cookbook, with a name inspired by the late Masterchef judge Jock Zonfrillo, and her memoir also coming out soon.

Thanks for chatting with us Julie, it was an honour! For all the important info, including recipes, books and where to find her on socials, check out Julie’s website. Catch up on Masterchef on 10Play

Mandy and Kate chat to Michelle, founder of Kaboose, an app that provides a safe space for the autistic and neurodiverse community, aged 7 to 30, to connect with peers around interests, find friends, mentors and jobs.

Seeing her own teen autistic peashoot Nick struggling with loneliness, Michelle decided to develop Kaboose to help him safely find his tribe. She has a professional background in people and culture in the IT field, and decided to use her expertise and connections to bring Kaboose to life.

Michelle chats about Nick’s early years, including diagnosis, early intervention, kinder and schooling and all the challenges that go along with it. Michelle also talks about her family’stime during the pandemic, which was particularly tough on everyone’s mental health. She then chats about the process of developing the app and launching it, the app’s features, and shares some of the wonderful feedback she’s received already.

Thank you for sharing your incredible story with us Michelle, we love Kaboose! Peas, find out more about Kaboose via their website, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn

Kate and Mandy chat with Dalal, founder of SATB2 Connect, an advocacy organisation for people and families affected by SATB2 Associated Syndrome.

SATB2 Connect was inspired by Dalal’s experiences with her daughter Naomi, who has the rare genetic condition. Started in 2021 (during COVID, a few days before Christmas!) SATB2 Connect was created to support those living with SATB2 Associated Syndrome and its symptoms. SATB2 Connect aims to raise awareness, advocate, raise funds and drive research to educate, support and collaborate with researchers, medical professionals, therapists and families.

Dalal talks about the diagnosis journey, finding her ‘advocacy gene’ and reaching out to specialists and researchers at the University of Sydney to partner with them on much-needed SATB2 research, and student project opportunities in OT, speech and biomedical engineering.

Dalal also shares her dreams for the future in supporting people and families with SATB2, including specialist clinics and support and respite options. Thank you Dalal for sharing your story with us.
