Now for disclosures…

I am a doctoral researcher at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in the School of Media and Communication. My research is on ethical farming practices in Victoria.

I am a foodie and I love anything to do with food. In my former life, I used to be a Food Editor/Writer for various publications. I am also a certified scuba instructor and fitness trainer; occasionally my postings may reflect my interest in these areas. I also write sporadic articles for other publications on the subject of health/fitness and food/cooking.

I write because I enjoy writing. It is my way of sharing my knowledge and ideas on subjects and issues I am passionate about. I am also an avid reader and I draw a lot of inspiration from the written words. If I post a review of a book I have read, it is because I believe in sharing the love. I don’t get paid to review them.

And disclaimer – we live in a litigious world …..
