About Me

Doc-G

Established in 2005, The Foodologist is dedicated to providing reviews, recipes and information of gastronomic interest to readers all over the world. I love South Australia and the food it produces and this blog is not only an expression of my own food interests but also a means of getting the message of South Australian food out.

An obsessed foodie who’s been involved one way or another all my life. After finishing a number of degrees in Physiology including a PhD from the University of Oxford, I came back to my home town of Adelaide to work for my family business which my father started over 30 years ago.

During that time I have worked in all areas of the food business and in 2006 became Managing Director of the company.

I have just completed the Le Cordon Bleu MA in Gastronomy at the University of Adelaide for which I was awarded scholarships from the Australian Association of Food Professionals and the Culinary Trust (part of the IACP). I have also completed training in Smallgoods making and Food Microbiology and I am a certified Food Safety Auditor.

In 2008, I was awarded the South Australian Premier’s Food Awards Young Leader Award.

Yours in food,

Doc-G

Palace Nova Eastend Cinemas - Events June 11, 2010 at 2:15 pm: Dear Doc G
I am emailing you about the released of the movie – Food Inc ! It is screening from June 24th 2010. See http://www.foodincmovie.com

Filmmaker Robert Kenner lifts the veil on the American food industry, exposing the highly mechanized underbelly that has been hidden from the consumer with the consent of the government. Exploring how the nation’s food supply is controlled by a handful of corporations that put profit ahead of consumer health, the livelihood of the American farmer, the safety of workers and the environment, interviewees such as Eric Schlosser (Fast Food Nation), Michael Pollan (The Omnivore’s Dilemma, In Defense of Food: An Eater’s Manifesto) and forward-thinking social entrepreneurs reveal surprising – and often shocking – truths about what we eat, how it’s produced and where the planet is going from here.
For interested people, there are discounted rates for groups, so please email me as per above if you or your members, want any further information or to make a booking.

Kind Regards

Doc-G June 11, 2010 at 10:27 pm: Hi Michelle,

Thankyou for letting me know about Food Inc! I soooo want to see it as I’ve heard a lot about it. I hear it’s pretty much Omnivore’s Dilemma (Michael Pollan) as a movie.

Will be there to see it for sure. See you soon.

Kimberly August 20, 2011 at 7:06 pm: Hello –

I am about to try your cupcake recipe for my son’s birthday.

I am a truly tragic baker so I have high hopes that they will be easy and elicit the oohs and aahs you have been able to procure.

I have an admittedly daft question. Your recipe says to put the filled cupcake cases onto a baking tray. Is this instead of a cupcake tin? Does it matter?

By way of background, I too am an expat – born in California, spent 1/2 my life in NYC and now live in Tasmania… It’s different.

Thank you so much!!

Doc-G August 26, 2011 at 11:32 am: Best of luck. I’m V. happy with the icing and the recipe is easy to do. I think there might be better recipes out there and will report on them when I find them! – Regards
