Founder

The founder of this website has been a journalist for about 12 years, but never got the opportunity to write about her first and true love: food.

Upon returning to Melbourne after several years living in London, she decided to add to the buzzing Australian food landscape with her own ideas ? not only to help other people who want to know about food, but to extend her own knowledge and teach herself a thing or two.

She has gathered a team of like-minded writers just as passionate about food as she is. She is hoping the site becomes somewhere that anyone, whatever their cooking level of interest, can come for inspiration, ideas and to feed their knowledge. She doesn?t purport to know everything about food ? she?s also hoping that site will teach her more than she ever would have learned by spending all her spare cash on cookbooks.

When she?s not cooking, adding harissa and preserved lemons to just about everything, she writes about the world of business and finance and cuddles her pug, who happens to be the most gorgeous pug in Melbourne ? possibly the world.

What?s with the name?!

The ?suck? part of our name comes from the phrase ?to suck the marrow out of life?. We hope that you will share our passion for food with relish and vigour ? lord knows we have enough to go around. It represents the energy and fire we have for improving our cooking, eating other people?s food and broadening our culinary horizons.

The radish part of our name comes from the crunchy vegetable we all know and love. We love it because it is humble, yet sophisticated. Its vibrant colour reminds us that you don?t need additives and preservatives to make something that stands out and almost glows in the dark. Also, radishes are incredibly easy to grow and were the first vegetable our founder ever grew in her veggie patch in London with only telephone guidance from her dad. Pulling them out of the ground and crunching one while you marvel at your own resourcefulness is something everyone must do at least once in their lives.

Anonymity

?Why are your reviews anonymous??, I hear you ask. Unlike some critics that are trying to create their own brand, we believe that anonymity gives us a better ability to review and allows people to read our reviews for what they are ? totally and utterly neutral.
