Description
Destination Moon is an open-hearted memoir about passion and finding purpose from the woman whose mid-career one-eighty led her from Formula 1 to opening the world-famous Lune Croissanterie.
At thirteen, Kate Reid already knew exactly where she was headed: a career in Formula 1, a life lived at full throttle. Like a master cartographer, she had drawn the map of her future – all she had to do was follow the course she’d charted.
But after earning a degree in aerospace engineering and taking up a coveted position at one of the top F1 teams in the UK, Kate discovered that the reality didn’t exactly live up to the dream. The pursuit of perfection that had once made her reach for the moon now sent her spiralling into a life-threatening battle against depression and anorexia.
From the grey skies of England and Monaco’s glittering, million-dollar harbour, to Melbourne’s trendy café scene and the spellbinding counters of Parisian patisseries, Kate searched for something that would bring meaning and passion back into her life: a destination worth driving towards at full speed.

About the Author
Kate Reid is a visionary entrepreneur and the founder of Lune Croissanterie, a renowned bakery established in Melbourne. Her path to becoming a celebrated pastry chef and the creator of an internationally acclaimed bakery has been anything but conventional. Kate initially pursued aerospace engineering at RMIT University before following her lifelong passion for Formula 1 racing. After three years, however, she realised that the reality of the job didn’t match her expectations, prompting her return to Melbourne with a fresh goal: to forge a career in pastry. Kate honed her skills at one of Paris' top bakeries before dedicating countless hours to perfecting the croissant back in Melbourne. In 2012, she took a bold step and opened Lune Croissanterie, a small bakery focused exclusively on croissants. Follow Kate (@miss.lune) and get the latest Lune news (@lunecroissant) on Instagram.
