Armchair Travellers - Travel and culinary landscapes of the Middle East with Lucy Malouf

Lucy Malouf traded in her life as a Wall Street analyst to pursue her passion for food. Lucy married a chef and became a waitress. This was the starting point for her new career as a food and travel writer.

Lucy and Greg Malouf combined their skills to write a monthly recipe column for The Australian and articles for Australian Gourmet Traveller and Vogue Entertaining. With her now former husband, Lucy has co-authored the best-selling food and travel books: Arabesque, Moorish, Saha and Turquoise.

Lucy travels Australia and internationally to speak at food and writing festivals about her culinary journeys and adventures not only in different countries but with different characters, dishes, flavours and spices of the Middle East and Turkey. From hearty peasant dishes to the heartwarming stories of people she has met along the way, Lucy's presentation will be one to remember.

Where: Mooroolbark Library, 7 Station Street, Mooroolbark
