Jude Blereau was living a wholefood life long before 'wholefood' was a buzzword for healthy living and is the most authoritative, long established wholefood writer in Australia today. Jude has been actively involved in the organic and wholefood world for over 25 years. Her focus is on helping people learn about good food and giving them the tools and information they need to make healthy and wholesome eating a delicious part of their everyday lives. Jude has written five books with Murdoch: Wholefood, Coming Home to Eat, Wholefood for Children, Wholefood Baking and Wholefood From the Ground Up.

'Finally, a book that gracefully combines nutrient rich, whole grain flours, minimal sweeteners and seasonal produce in a collection of irresistible recipes that are perfect for any occasion. These are the kind of cakes, scones and muffins I crave-homemade, wholesome and delicious!' Amy Chaplin, James Beard award winner and author of At Home in the Whole Food Kitchen: Celebrating the Art of Eating Well. 'Whole Food Baking is an essential book for every baker's shelf. The purpose of the book is two-fold: to nourish the body withless-refined flours and sugar, but to also tend to the soul, by allowing sweetness to have a place in a wholesome lifestyle. Jude succeeds with both goals; she creates recipes that are healthy and delicious, and recipes that bring comfort and joy. Jude herself says, 'Food is a deeply joyful and delicious part of life, especially sweetness.' I couldn't agree more. ' Sarah Kieffer, The Vanilla Bean Baking Book 'Jude's perspective is a refreshing one: that baking and health are not mutually exclusive! In Wholefood Baking, she takes on a journey into the delicious world of cakes, cookies, crackers, custards, and creams to show us just how we can bake and enjoy treats with a nutritious twist. Jude goes both ways: classic and creative, with something for everyone in her repertoire. This collection will inspire lifelong bakers and rolling pin rookies alike to break out of the white flour mould and try something new - and healthier - without sacrificing a single thing. I can't wait to get baking!' Sarah Britton, Holistic Nutritionist and author of My New Roots
