Infuse 3 March 2018 | Page 4

Letter from Your Editor Welcome to the third issue of Infuse! And a special hello to those of you who are in Brisbane for Dietitians Unite 2018 – we’re so glad to have you with us. Dietitians Unite 2018 is our pride and joy this time of year. The annual conference has grown from strength to strength, and our 2018 version tops all past events. This year, we’re offering three streams: clinical, business and foodservice. There are ten diverse presentations lined up, from ground-breaking dietitians to motivational speakers and successful entrepreneurs. Throw in our much-loved exhibition hall, and our famous goodie bags for attendees, and the only question becomes: if you’re not at DU’18, how will you catch up on everything you’ve missed? Speaking of catching up: we’re thrilled to feature the legendary Jamie Oliver on our cover, and to catch up on the brilliant work he and his team are doing in Australia to promote good health and nutrition. I had the chance to meet Jamie back in 2008 at a cookbook-signing event in New York, and I’ve never forgotten his kindly good humour. I confessed to him that (at the time) I was a Manhattan gal, with a tiny kitchen, who couldn’t cook to save her life. No problem, he responded cheerily: “I’ll just come over and teach you how to cook!” Can you imagine?
