I love making it easy for everyone to explore new cuisines, ingredients, wines and places through small-group food and wine tours, fun foodie events and online cooking classes. I have a Master of Arts degree in Gastronomy and am a certified Sherry educator and cheese judge (I even wrote a little cheese book). For almost 25 years I ran Australia’s largest recreational cooking school, Sydney Seafood School at Sydney Fish Market. I became immersed in the exciting world of food and wine, forming friendships with many great chefs, producers and providores and learning a lot along the way. I’ve written cookbooks with some of them: A Lombardian Cookbook (with Alessandro Pavoni), A Sardinian Cookbook (with Giovanni Pilu), Wild Weed Pie (with Janni Kyritsis) and the Sydney Seafood School Cookbook.

I live in Sydney with my husband – photographer, spirits expert and fellow food and wine lover – Franz Scheurer.
