The Food Mentalist

Erin Wright is The Food Mentalist, a food and lifestyle blogger who has recently relocated from Sydney to Canberra.

Erin is a qualified Investigator, holds a Masters in Criminology and is currently completing a Masters in Journalism - and is dedicated to investigating the effects of certain foods on our health and wellbeing. 

Erin started cooking the age of 7 years old when her Nana enrolled her in a cooking class for children during the school holidays. Food Technology was her favourite subject at school which inspired her to continue her passion for cooking. Erin enrolled in a part time TAFE course when she was 15 and completed her first certificate in cookery to become a chef. 

After a few twists and turns she continued at school and finished year 12 before heading to university and working in the food industry for several years, where, she met some great chefs and made some fantastic friends. 

Erin's career has since taken a different path but her love for food and cooking continues.

  1. Hi Erin,

    Has Max matured in his food over the years? and, do cats get sick of eating the same food again and again?

    I'm enjoying reading your blog. I don't know how you were at the beginning with food photography, but your last couple of posts have brilliant images!

  5. Hey there, I stumbled upon your blog last year looking at you pork and cider combo recommendations that were very well received here I continued perusing your fine blog for some months to follow (as the whimsy called).
    I find my self back here looking for a strawberry cider or strawberry champagne recipe to make from scratch (hopefully fermented) rather than adding in store bought champagne. I'd love to give this a crack if you have any advice or ideas. Obv lots of strawbs in season here right now in this weather. I have a few kilos that I'd like to do something a little bit amazing with if you have any ideas for this ambitious amateur.
