News: Fairfax Media Marks International Women’s Day With Good Food Special Issue

Sydney March 5 2018 - To celebrate International Women's Day, Fairfax Media’s leading premium food brand, Good Food, is showcasing the women making waves in Australia’s food, wine and beer industries.

Available with Fairfax’s print mastheads, The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, and online on Tuesday March 6 ahead of International Women’s Day (Thursday March 8), the Good Food special issue includes the female Chefs, Producers, Wine and Beer Makers and Distillers who stand out in their field. From restaurants in Tassie, vineyards in Victoria and beer brewers in QLD - this special issue profiles these women and is written, reviewed and edited all by an all-female editorial team.

On the cover is Aunty Beryl Van-Oploo, an Aboriginal elder in Sydney who trains Australia’s next generation of Indigenous hospitality workers and also works to educate many internationally renowned Chefs, including notable Chef Rene Redzepi, about native Australian ingredients.

Reaching a premium audience of 2.29 million, Good Food is Australia’s go-to destination for credible, independent restaurant, bar and cafe reviews and brings the latest in food news across Australia and the globe. In October 2017 Good Food moved to take its Good Food Guide Awards national and reinforced its position as ‘Home of the Hats’ - Australia’s only truly independent review system, operating for almost 40 years.

“To mark International Women’s Day, we wanted to pay particular attention and recognise the women in Australia who contribute to keeping food and wine standards high and who innovate in our industry,” said Ardyn Bemoth, National Editor Good Food.

“In this issue of Good Food, we cover the female trailblazers of the food industry, women in the kitchen but also out in the field as farmers, cheesemakers and truffle hunters because great food and drink starts well before what people experience in a restaurant. Congratulations to those included as well as those around them supporting their efforts.”
