Timeline

1944

Pamela Clark (born 1944) is an Australian chef, cookbook author and food presenter, and has been associated with The Australian Women's Weekly for 50 years.

Clark spent her preschool years living on Aneityum, Vanuatu, due to her father's work there.

1948

In 1948, the family left Aneityum and returned to Australia, and from 1949, she attended Meriden School in Strathfield, Sydney.

Her favourite school subject was Home Science with teacher Miss Scott, who was a former cookery demonstrator at the Australian Gas Light Company (AGL).

Aged 11, Clark decided that she, too, wanted to work in the food industry.

At 15, she completed a cake-decorating course at a local technical college.

1960

She left school aged 17 in the early 1960s, and followed in Miss Scott's footsteps by working as a cooking demonstrator for four months at AGL, and then worked at the St George County Council for seven years.

From her work through the Council at the Sydney Royal Easter Show, she met staff from the Australian Women's Weekly (AWW) Test Kitchen (then known as the Leila Howard Test Kitchen).

She then applied for a role at the Test Kitchen with food editor Ellen Sinclair.

1969

In September 1969, she began as the Chief Home Economist in the Leila Howard Test Kitchen (Australian Women's Weekly (AWW) Test Kitchen).

She helped produce nine cookbooks over four years, and organised the magazine's food testing and photography.

1970

She worked on the original Australian Women's Weekly Cookbook published in 1970, one of her contributions was having prepared the Savoury lamb casserole featured on the front of the book jacket.

1973

Clark moved to Tasmania in 1973 and worked as a food presenter on television and radio, as well as teaching Adult Education food classes, and running a hotel restaurant in Hobart.

1978

She returned as the Weekly's Chief Home Economist in 1978, and facilitated The Golden Cooking Library, Cookery Cards, AWW Home Library Cookbooks and the magazine's recipes.

She was the catalyst of The Children's Birthday Cake Book, having spoken about animal cakes after making a dinosaur cake for a young neighbour.

In a later cake title, Clark said that this book was the favourite part of her job: "I love baking, and I'm just crazy about every aspect of creating children's cakes..."

1984

Clark became the Food Editor in 1984.

One of the changes she introduced was a greater emphasis on photographing the recipes.

Clark was credited as Food Editor since her 1984 appointment, through to the 1990s, and then variously as Food Director (2002 - 2012 ), later as Editorial and Food Director from 2012 to approximately 2015.

1990

In the 1990s, Clark made bi-monthly television presentations and appearances on Channel Nine's 'What's Cooking', and in 2003, the channel's 'Fresh Cooking with the AWW'.

1991

In a satirical article from 1991, Packer was alleged to have concocted wholemeal lamingtons using Vogel's branded bread in the Test Kitchen, "...before food editor Pamela Clark had had a chance to intervene...".

The humorous take concluded that the Fairfax Committee delighted in the lamingtons, with the recipe destined for an issue of the Weekly, but this enjoyment did not extend to Packer's media ownership.

1995

Clark was featured in the Celebrity Cooks Collection, a cookbook released by the National Heart Foundation in 1995, featuring 18 well-known Australian food writers.

Contributors were asked for recipes of their favourite international cuisine, within the dietary guidelines of the Heart Foundation.

She contributed a chapter on cuisine from Vietnam.

2000

Her role as Food Editor included tasting and approving 2000 recipes in a year, which would then be included across 12 months' of the magazine, the Weekly's Menu Planner series, and the six cookbooks published annually.

In his role as Clark's boss, media owner Kerry Packer would often request pink-iced finger buns and three-minute eggs to be delivered in short time frames.

Clark also ran his dining room in the same building as the Test Kitchen.

2006

From 2006 to 2011, Clark contributed recipes to the ABC Radio website.

2012

A contributing factor for her role title changes was the sale of Australian Consolidated Press to Bauer Media Group in 2012.

She became the Editorial Director of Bauer Books after the incumbent retired.

She has also been considered to be the AWW Test Kitchen Director.

2014

Clark was an Ambassador for the Australian Red Cross for their Red Cross Big Cake Bake fundraising event, circa 2014 - 2017.

2016

In 2016, Clark described her cooking philosophy as: "Cooking for me is all about simplicity - letting the beautiful fresh produce and flavours shine."

In 2016, she judged a charity bake-off featuring all the cakes from The Children's Birthday Cake Book.

Clark was interviewed on Radio National in July 2016 about "cake pushers" in the workplace.

2018

From 2018, her role is as the Editorial Director at Large of Bauer Books.

She has been credited as one of Australia's most renowned cooks.

2019

The cake challenge benefited the Canberra-based then-named PANDSI (Post and Ante Natal Depression Support and Information Inc.), renamed to Perinatal Wellbeing Centre in 2019/2020.

Clark planned to be a future patron of the charity.
