Giovanni (John) Maiorana, aka the Gourmet Godfather, has been an influential food observer in Western Australia since the sixties. His background in mathematics and teaching, together with his love of the hospitality industry, led to running his passionate cooking classes for 30 years. He combined his passion for both food and mathematics by developing an objective criteria-referenced restaurant assessment system that has been adopted first by RCIA WA and then by the national parent body. This system is still in use to judge restaurants for the National Awards for Excellence.
Since resigning from his teaching post, John has opened Designed Kitchen Appliances with Dominic Calautti where he can focus on his love of the history of food and the cooking of the dishes that spring to him from the pages of history. He still chairs the WA Awards for excellence and is on the National Judging Panel.
An Australian founding member of the Slow Food movement, he recently addressed the local group on the occasion of the visit of Dott. Carlo Petrini, the President of the movement. The theme of the address was The Importance of Markets in any Community with the express purpose of trying to return markets in the CBD.

. After last post on marketing without search engines, I decided to follow up with a strategy you can use to get quality free traffic. One of the easiest ways to get visitors to your web site is to spend money. Nothing is more effortless then paying for traffic. But if you can’t afford it or don’t want to pay, there’s an equally simple but free way to get traffic: ad swaps.
