About Us...
- Jill Dyson,
- Southern Highlands, NSW, Australia
- Jill has been running FoodPath in the Southern Highlands of NSW with her partner Nick since April 2010. They have grown the business to a level where they now include a range of activities including tours, workshops and collaboration with others (cooking schools, wineries, etc). Jill grew up in a large family on a sheep station near Crookwell but for the past 13 years has lived in the beautiful Southern Highlands of NSW. During the past 8 years Jill and Nick have got to know the local producers and continue to promote and support these local small businesses. They have organised and run many food related activities including taste education workshops and producer visits. It was after they organised a successful tour for a group of chefs from some of the best restaurants in Sydney that they realised they could turn their interest into a business - and this led to the setting up of FoodPath - Culinary Tours with a Difference. Now Jill and Nick are working closely with Southern Highlands Tourism and Wingecarribee Council to help raise the profile of their area as a food destination where everyone will benefit - tourists, local consumers and the producers themselves.

Had a great day on Fri being the participant rather than the organiser!
This was a very pleasant day and it was such a beautiful environment. The property was studded with many old buildings that have been beautifully restored.
Mickie runs her workshops from time to time - check her website - just search for Glenmore House.
I went to historic Glenmore House at Camden to spend the day with Mickie and her class, making Seville orange marmalade.
First we picked the huge oranges from the trees then it was a joint effort as we washed the fruit, cut and squeezed the oranges, removed the pith and seeds, cut the rind into thin strips, tied the seeds in a muslin bag, etc. Finally it went into a pot to cook for hours.
While it was cooking we were taken on a tour of the wonderful kitchen garden. Mickie picked some vegetables for lunch and made up a soup.
