She hit TV fame when she co-hosted the weekly program The Cook and the Chef with Simon Bryant on the ABC from 2005 to 2009 and has since appeared as a guest judge on Masterchef Australia. Today Maggie runs Maggie Beer’s Farm Shop in the Barossa and oversees production of a range of eponymous products, which are sold throughout Australia and overseas.
