The Foodologist is different from other food and drink magazines. As well as looking at all aspects of good dining, we also offer fascinating insights into: Health and beauty – Amanda Haley, our Beauty, Health and Fashion Editor, explores the use of foods, herbs, and spices in the health and beauty sectors. For instance, few people will be aware that the widely acclaimed spice Star Anise is one of the main ingredients of Tamiflu. Food in art – Thor Haley, our Art Director, makes some stunning photographic contributions and explores other aspects of food in art and vice versa. He also works closely with our illustrator, Lorna Apps-Woodland. Garden design – The Foodologist has its own resident gardener, Stuart Scott. He will be looking at the modern ‘kitchen garden’ and what, how and when to grow in it. Stuart specialises in ‘Outside Rooms’. Dine with fine wine – The Foodologist’s resident chef, Adam Byatt, is an up and coming celebrity chef/restaurateur. He is the proprietor of the AA Restaurant of the Year – Trinity, at the Polygon, Clapham Old Town, London. Adam has frequently appeared on BBC’s Saturday Kitchen.
