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 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.  Not convinced?  What really qualifies me is that I eat anything and everything, anywhere and everywhere!
