Judy Ridgway's Olive Oil, Olives, Cheese and Wine Consultancy

London-based food writer and consultant Judy Ridgway has written more than 55 books on various aspects of food, but concentrates on ingredients and products where flavour effects choice of purchase (oils, vinegars, cheese, charcuterie, wine and so on) and healthy eating. Here, the author of The Olive Oil Companion offers contact details for tasting courses and private tutoring, as well as a limited amount on her oil-related activities and views on events in the industry. For olive oil enthusiasts and professionals, the site provides an excellent collection of links, including one to www.egroups.com/group/OliveLovers, a chat group for enthusiasts of olives and olive oil that includes, says Judy, recipes, methods of curing and other culinary topics.
