Grab Your Fork goes live on air

EDIT: Interview has been rescheduled due to broadcast of the Victoria bushfires memorial service in Melbourne. Will advise new interview date/time if and when it happens.

Grab Your Fork goes live!

I'll be interviewed on 702 ABC Sydney this Sunday, along with John Newton and Chris Mansfield on a discussion panel about food writing.

Simon Marnie, host of 702 Weekends and long-time follower of Grab Your Fork, has invited me to talk about food blogs on his weekly segment Food At Eleven. John Newton will talk about what makes a good food writer, writing for print, and food reviews versus criticism. Rounding out the panel will be Chris Mansfield, who will talk about writing recipe books, and will also provide her thoughts on what the hospitality industry thinks about bloggers and reviewers. Ooh! Should be interesting!

The details:

And whilst we're on the subject of self-promotion (ha), the latest edition of Virgin Blue's inflight magazine Voyeur includes a few quotes from me about what to expect when dining at TAFE training restaurants. It's quite an interesting piece so click on the images below to view large and read it yourself. There's also a handy reference list of TAFE training restaurants around Australia on the last page.
