Raised in Margaret River, Jo Clews grew up in a family of devoted farmhouse-style cooks. She became a mother and then a shearer’s cook in short order and has had many adventures living and working in a variety of communities in Western Australia, including a stint as manager of the Karijini Eco Retreat. During that time Jo has always loved demonstrating and writing about her cooking: she has been holding regular classes for over two decades and has been an equally regular contributor to Western Australian 4WD magazine for nearly as long. Soon after writing Camp Oven Cooking in 2011, Jo released a lifelong dream by buying a rural property: Melangata Station.
