About Us...
- Jill Dyson,
- Southern Highlands, NSW, Australia
- Click on the link to read Jill's latest blog post. 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). During the past 10 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.

We were very happy to provide two FoodPath activities for Peppers Manor House as part of their Food Trail package on the Australia Day weekend. Daniel James, Head Chef at Katers Restaurant at Peppers Manor House is a strong supporter of local produce, sourcing it as much as he can and identifying it on the menu. We provided a tour of the Bowral Market for a group of 24 in the morning and in the afternoon put on a Gelato Workshop with Luigi De Luca and his daughter Virginia from Cremeria de Luca in Five Dock. It was a fun day and we enjoyed it very much.
We joined the group for a three course long table Lunch at Katers Restaurant which was delicious.

We have had Luigi de Luca down in the Southern Highlands before to run a Gelato Workshop for FoodPath, so were looking forward to running another one yesterday as part of a Peppers Manor House Gourmet Food Trail Event.
Luigi 's family have been gelato makers for 3 generations initially in Sicily and now in Australia. They have a Cremeria in Five Dock, Sydney. Visit them if you can, you will love it!
Luigi uses local produce in his workshop so we sourced local organic cow's milk from Bill Smillie at Moss Vale (Highland Organics), backyard lemons from kind locals, olive oil from Kym Burrows (Sutton Forest Olives) and fresh blackberries from Montrose Berry Farm.
The workshop started with coffee and cream - coffee granita served with fresh cream and brioche. Then Luigi and his daughter Virginia turned the fresh produce into lemon granita with Pimms, milk gelato, blackberry granita and olive oil gelato - and he also brought from Sydney fig and rose petal Cremolato! What a feast - and the group loved it. Father and daughter were very entertaining.
We hope to get Luigi down another time to run another Gelato Workshop for us sometime - let us know if you are interested?

- On Fri we did a presentation to a group of visiting corporate representatives at Craigieburn, who have been very supportive of us. Developing some new team building options for that market. And finally
- Today we had 5 people for a Market Tour at Biota and 12 for lunch. A full day but a nice way to spend the last Sun of the month.
