Roberta's passion for food, wine and foreign culture has led her on adventures in Europe, Africa, Turkey, South East Asia, North America and Australia, while a desire to see the midnight sun took her on a 4WD adventure along Canada's Dempster Highway and across the Arctic Circle. Since 1997 she has managed Australia's leading cooking school, Sydney Seafood School at Sydney Fish Market. In 2003 she was a member of the inaugural graduating class for the University of Adelaide's Master of Arts degree in Gastronomy. A restaurant reviewer and trained cheese judge, she assisted Australian chef Janni Kyritsis with his cookbook "Wild Weed Pie, a Lifetime of Recipes", and has been published in leading Australian food, wine and travel publications including Australian Gourmet Traveller and Jetstar Inflight Magazine. "500 Cheeses: The Only Cheese Compendium You'll Ever Need" is her first cheese book. "A Sardinian Cookbook", co-writen with Australian-Sardinian chef Giovanni Pilu, was published in 2012, as was "The Sydney Seafood School Cookbook". See more at www.food-wine-travel.com.
