Mindy Woods, the Native Food Queen!

Mindy Woods is a chef, restaurateur and proud Bundjalung woman of the Widjabul Wia-bul clan.

You might recognise her as a finalist from MasterChef Australia in 2012 and this year returned on the fans and favourite series.

She is the owner of Karkalla restaurant in Byron Bay. Featuring locally-sourced seasonal produce and native ingredients, Karkalla is a nod to Mindy’s indigenous heritage and allows her to help both indigenous and non-indigenous people to connect with Aboriginal culture, art and stories through food.
