about jennifer

Jennifer Lam FOUNDER

Jennifer Lam is the editor and photographer behind one of Australia's top food blogs, JENIUS - The Spectacular Culinary Adventures of a Sydney Gen Y. She is also one of the top 100 women bloggers in Australia.

Having grown up in a family who were always very passionate about food, Jennifer has travelled extensively throughout Sydney, Australia and abroad, capturing irresistible flavours from myriad cultures. The I Ate My Way Through series is an exciting new project for this passionate foodie - one she hopes will bring the world's most drool-worthy dishes to everyone's table.

Jennifer is a passionate Gen Y who is slightly obsessed with social and digital media. She collects emoticons because they speak louder than exclamation marks, makes pretty dresses and skirts that money can't buy, and loves finding, photographing, eating, reading and blogging about all things delicious, as well as shopping for whimsical fashion, good business books and a bargain, whether it be property, a cheap eat or an airfare.

Stay tuned for future titles in the I Ate My Way Through series, as Jennifer eats her way around the globe.


Karen Ferry
SUB-EDITOR

As our sub-editor, Karen Ferry has a diverse history in writing for both print and digital. Foodwise, it's a little more interesting. Half Australian and half Chinese, she was raised on a diet of mixed meals (curry and hot potato chips, anyone?), and as a result, loves tasting flavours more than the act of eating. However, she cannot resist chocolate cake in any form.

Currently, she is throwing herself into mastering the art of cooking, karate style. At the moment? Yellow belt: herbs.


Nicola Chang
DISTRIBUTION MANAGER

It was inevitable that Nicola Chang was going to become a foodie – her parents owned a succession of restaurants in New Zealand – so whether she was going to the markets to pick out fresh vegetables, being the dishwasher in the busy restaurant or helping prepare desserts, the daily preparation of food was around her from morning to night.

In her adult years, Nicola lived in London for two and a half years and from there, she travelled around, and ate her way through, many countries including the UK, Ireland, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Prague, Turkey, Syria, Jordan, Egypt and on her way back to New Zealand, she enjoyed the street food delights of Bangkok and the islands. Her last trip was to the USA where she found, yes indeed, the portions are huge on the West Coast.

Nicola looks after distribution of the I Ate My Way Through series and recently made the move from Sydney to Melbourne where she looks forward to feeding her foodie passion even more.


Betty Pham
HEAD OF TOURS - CABRAMATTA

Betty Pham heads up our Cabramatta food tours. She is also an avid baker and the editor of food blog, Betty's Bites.

As a kid, Betty visited Cabramatta every week with her parents for its food and grocery stores. Today, still a Cabramatta local, she loves sharing her favourite spots with people from all walks of life.


Leila Hawkins
CONTRIBUTOR

Having an Iranian mother who is an excellent cook and having spent her childhood in Spain meant that Leila was spoilt for choice food-wise from a very young age. Now based in London, she is a regular contributor at I Ate My Way Through and also writes restaurant reviews for an online publication. She loves nothing more than hosting huge dinner parties at home where she tries out all the recipes she’s picked up whilst travelling the world. Her friends regularly get treated to culinary delights that originate in South Korea, Cambodia, Iceland, Iran, Spain, France and Latin America.

When she’s not cooking or eating her way around London and the world she is likely to be enjoying her other passion: music, whether it’s listening to it, dancing to it, or writing about it.
