Amanda McInerney

With a rusted-on following on Instagram and Facebook, all of whom value her knowledge, authenticity and honesty, Amanda, is a committed gastronomer. She holds a post-graduate degree in Advanced Studies in Taste from the University of Reims (France) and a Graduate Certificate in Gastronomy from Le Cordon Bleu. Living in the Adelaide Hills of South Australia, she shares a small acreage with a herd of Black Angus cattle. Here she pens her respected and long-established food/travel blog “Lambs’ Ears and Honey”, and runs Australia’s first online cookbook club. Amanda has travelled extensively, working with a variety of national tourism organisations and learning from food experiences that stretch from meeting family noodle makers in a jungle village in Cambodia, to wandering through dairy cow sheds in Bulgaria, to sharing a drink with British food celebrities in the swanky bars of Vancouver, learning about 7th generation soup shops in Istanbul, and eating in Michelin starred restaurants around the world - and she still couldn’t tell you which was her favourite. A lover of local food products and a long-standing devotee of Australian olive oil, Amanda also became an olive oil judge in 2021.
