Mel Fox from Olive Sundays

Hello,

I’m Melissa Fox, the founder, writer and editor of Olive Sundays.

I love the heart and connection that surrounds a plate of food. I generally spend my days thinking, eating and dreaming about food, watching, reading and learning about food, cooking, speaking and writing about food and if you’ve met me before chances are I’ve unintentionally diverted our conversation into something related to food. Did I mention I like food? I love food and Olive Sundays is my way to shout it from the rooftops and share my passion and experiences with you.

Why is it called Olive Sundays?

1 always get asked this question and it’s a bit of a long-winded story but this is how it came about: when I first started blogging I was going to name it ‘I love Sundays’ because it’s my favourite day of the week, mainly because I spend it writing, eating and cooking and that’s a reflection of what my blog is all about. The ‘Olive’ part came into it because my hubby and I were dating at the time and worked in the same office so we would say ‘olives’ to each other instead of ‘I love you’ because pda is not for the workplace. I liked the sound of Olive Sundays, it had a nice ring to it, so I rolled with it. To me it’s still an ode to Sundays but with a more personal touch.

Why do you write ‘I heart the restaurant’ after each Melbourne review post?

‘I heart the restaurant!’ is my little trademark – it just means we’ve tried and tested the restaurant, we absolutely loved it and we happily recommend it to you, our readers. We want you to have good eating experiences so we only publish reviews on our website when we love love love the food.

Olives x, whats that about?

‘Olives x’ is my way of saying those three little words to you ‘I love you’ but in code so I don’t sound so extra. I appreciate you for visiting my site, reading my posts and supporting my food journey. It’s a big love-filled thank you for reading.

Thanks for visiting Olive Sundays!
