Jane Kennedy

After having five children in six years and trying every fad diet known to man in an attempt to shift excess weight, Jane decided to take matters into her own hands. A lifetime love of cooking, teamed with a refusal to give up the flavours of her favourite meals, led Jane to develop her own dishes that are delicious but also good for you and record them in the bestselling book, Fabulous Food Minus the Boombah. Jane began her career in the late 1980s alongside comedy team The D-Generation on a no.1 breakfast FM show and on television with The Late Show. She co-wrote, produced, directed, and starred as the ruthless reporter Brooke Vandenberg, in Frontline, a satire about the current affairs industry. Jane was also a co-producer of movies The Dish and the film recently voted Australia’s favourite of all time, The Castle. She continues to work behind the scenes at Working Dog as casting director on shows such as The Hollowmen and Thank God You’re Here. Jane lives in Melbourne.
