About Me

Linda June
Wholefood Chef | Culinary Health Educator | Recipe Developer

A Life in Wholefoods
With over 30 years of experience, I’ve dedicated my life to the power of food as a tool for healing, connection, and joy. My journey began in Melbourne, where I trained in wholefood restaurants and completed a diploma in wholefood cooking. This early foundation taught me the importance of cooking from scratch using fresh, seasonal, and sustainable ingredients. That philosophy continues to guide everything I do.

Global Influence and Traditional Techniques
Over the years, I’ve expanded my knowledge through the study of Chinese medicinal cooking, Japanese wholefoods, and holistic nutrition. I’ve also explored traditional food techniques like fermentation and learned how to work with complex dietary needs in real, practical ways.

A Teacher at Heart
Since 1994, I’ve been sharing my love of food and teaching others how to make lasting changes through what they eat. I’ve worked as a head chef and culinary educator in wellness spas and residential behaviour change programs, where I supported people on their journey toward better health.

Food with Purpose
My teaching is centred on two things. The why, which helps people understand the impact of highly processed, sugar-laden foods. And the how, which focuses on simple and sustainable ways to include wholefoods in daily life. These small changes can lead to powerful shifts in gut and mental health, inflammation, energy levels, and overall wellbeing.

Working with Others for Lasting Change
I’ve had the privilege of working alongside psychologists, naturopaths, integrative doctors, and dietitians, all with a focus on behaviour change. These experiences have shown me just how personal and transformative food can be.

Food is my medium for connection, education, and transformation. Through Wholesome Tucker, I offer a range of experiences, resources, and coaching to support you in building a nourishing, wholefood lifestyle that feels joyful, accessible, and sustainable.

Wholefood Cooking Classes
Held in my welcoming Murwillumbah kitchen or at venues across the Northern Rivers and Tweed region, my group classes offer hands-on experiences that bring people together around real food. Whether it’s a fun social Cook & Sip evening, a themed group session, or a private gathering, each class focuses on simple, delicious meals made from whole, seasonal ingredients.

Corporate Team Cooking Workshops
My tailored corporate workshops are designed to foster teamwork, communication, and wellbeing in a relaxed and engaging setting. Available for groups of 10 to 20, these sessions can be held on-site, at a local venue, or as part of a retreat. Your team will work together to create a nourishing meal from scratch while learning practical skills they can take into their everyday lives.

One-on-One Wholefood Coaching
For those looking for personalised support, I offer one-on-one coaching to help you make lasting changes to your health through food. Whether you're navigating dietary needs, health goals, or a complete lifestyle shift, I’ll help you build confidence in the kitchen and create a realistic plan that works for you.

Wholefood Recipes and Educational Content
Through my blog and newsletter, I share free wholefood recipes, cooking tips, and educational insights that simplify healthy eating. My goal is to make wholefoods feel achievable, nutritious and delicious.

E-Book
My free digital e-book offers a practical guide to wholefood cooking, complete with recipes, meal planning tools, and easy strategies for reducing processed food in your everyday life. This is a great entry point if you’re just beginning your journey or need new inspiration.

Wholefood Cookbook (Coming Soon)
I’m currently working on my first print cookbook, a collection of recipes and reflections drawn from decades of wholefood teaching and kitchen experience. It will be a resource you can turn to again and again, filled with nourishing meals, practical wisdom, and heartfelt encouragement to cook from scratch with confidence.
