Goodwin was involved in a segment on The 7PM Project where families were able to enter a contest to have Goodwin cook at their house live on television.[4] She also appears in a weekly cooking segment on the Today program.[5]

As the winner of MasterChef, Goodwin was given the opportunity to write her own cookbook. The book is called Our Family Table (ISBN 9781741669688), published in April 2010. Some recipes were passed down through Goodwin’s family, others were given by friends. Goodwin also included recipes she created on MasterChef, such as lemon diva cupcakes and passionfruit ‘puddle pie'. The final section of the book is a 'blank' chapter with pages for the reader’s photos, clippings and recipes from family and friends.[6]
