Bill discovered his passion for cooking when he moved to Sydney from Melbourne as an art student in the 1980s. He started working as a waiter at La Passion du Fruit, a breakfast and lunch restaurant. After a little persuasion, the owner agreed to let Bill open for dinner for 3 nights a week, cooking from his mother's kitchen.

He was only 22 when he opened his own Sydney café, Bills. Following the café's success he has gone on to open Bills 2 and Billy Kwong. As well as running his three restaurants he has also written a nunmber of books and makes regular appearances on BBC's Saturday Kitchen. Catch his series Bill's Food on UKTV Food.
