hi, i love food and cooking though i don't cook very often. i love collecting recipes. Where do I live? i have recently semi-permanently moved to Melbourne for university, though i still call Adelaide home. For those that don't know Melbourne is in Victoria, the state to the right of South Aus, being a South Aussie at heart i fully endorse all South Aussie tourism spots, food and wine, so visit SA food lovers!I still believe coming from Adelaide, that visiting foodies are required to visit the Barossa, McClarin Vale and the Adelaide Central Market. Sorry Melbourne, but Victoria Market doesn't cut it. What do you do for work? I don't have a job so uni is kind of like my job at the moment, I am doing the Bachelor of Archaeology at La Trobe University. Lots of fun and interesting stuff. I'm passionate about history and past civilisations, a lot of foodies should be happy to know that we learn a lot about cultures by the food scraps and kitchen stuff people leave behind, not just art, skeletons and buildings. I'm also passionate about what goes into my stomach, I'm very fussy, I couldn't have any fruit or dairy when I was little as I'm Fructose and lactose intolerant so at times my taste isn't very adventurous, but mum always made us eat our vegies. Unlike other aussies I hate vegemite, it doesn't make me unaustralian though, I have had roo and emu several times before, they are really nice and roo meat is incredibly lean, I am a firm believer that Aussies should eat more roo and emu, not only are they good for us but don't harm the Australian environment like cattle and sheep do. I don't have a favourite cookbook but there are several tv chefs/cooks that I love, like Donna Hay, Maggie Beer and Ian Hewitson (aka Hewie, I would hope that most Aussies know who he is, it would be ridiculous if your Aussie and you don't). I'm constantly buying cooking magazines, there is about three that I buy, plus Donna Hay if its ever in the local newsagent.
