Aussies are a little obsessed with food these days. Whether it’s food blogs, TV shows or the lure of celebrity chefs, we’re all a little transfixed by fancy cupcakes, Wagyu beef burgers, food trucks, boutique beer and seasonal produce. If you’ve dusted off your apron and sharpened your knives, but need a little push (or a dollop of inspiration), head to the Melbourne Good Food & Wine Show from 1-3 June.

Indulge your tastebuds and sample gourmet cheeses, condiments and wines for every occasion. You can also take the opportunity to learn some of the secrets chefs use in the kitchen.

And we’re not alone in our food picture obsession. This lends itself to a number of good quality food photo apps that cater to non-pro food bloggers like us, letting us share and show-off our adventures in gastronomy. There’s SnapDish, Instagram, Foodspotting, fidd.me, and as of last week Platter. Not to mention the more traditional mediums like Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest which are awash with images of beautiful (and sometimes highly unphotogenic) food getups cramming our stream. There’s even a study out about online food and photos sharing trends by 360i, which examines why so many of us are snap happy at the dinner table and what happens to our food pics.

But why do most people (food lovers, but non-pro food reviewers or bloggers) feel the desire to record adventures in gastronomy? And does it take away from the experience? (more…)

We not only like to eat and order food continuously here at D.H, but we also just like to look at it!
