About

Hi!  I’m Alex and I love food, cooking, eating and drinking!

I’m Adelaide born and bred, and I’ve spent eight years living in the UK.  Five of those years were spent in Leeds, West Yorkshire – the London of the North.  Between 2006 and 2009 I ran Eating Leeds, so it was obvious that my return to Adelaide should be accompanied by Eating … Adelaide.

Eating Adelaide is an Adelaide food blog. It’s a collection of recipes, restaurant and bar reviews, wine reviews, events … anything to do with food in Adelaide.  But, I do like travel – so it’s likely you’ll find reviews of restaurants a little further afield!

No doubt you’re wondering whether or not the world needs another food blog (probably not) and what qualifies me to inflict my opinions on all and sundry … Well, in real life I’m a software developer, I run a wine education business, Wine Academy, I’ve passed my WSET Intermediate and Advanced certificates (both with Distinction, and in 2008 I won the WSET’s A A Calem Port Award) and I’ve also completed the Professional Certificate in Gastronomy which was previously run jointly by the University of Adelaide and Le Cordon Bleu.  I was also selected to participate in the 2011 Lorenzo Galli Wine Scholarship – a two day Italian wine masterclass that took place in Melbourne. Not convinced?  What really qualifies me is that I eat anything and everything, anywhere and everywhere!
