- 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.

Today was the 2nd day of the Food on Clay Event organised by Dee, the Resident Potter at Sturt - the fine Craft Centre at Mittagong.
The idea of this event was to fill the bowls that were made 2 weeks ago with food and enjoy a shared lunch. Based on the "Empty Bowls" project which is celebrated around the world.
Lunch included some delicious salads organised by Monique and antipasto made by Dee. Sourdough bread donated by Four Water Salt in Bowral and goat's cheese donated by Zoe who sells through the Cheese Factory at Robertson.
We were very grateful to all who contributed their time or skills.
Money raised is going to the Salvation Army who provide food for a Christmas dinner for those who are hungry or lonely. Great cause. Well done Dee!
This was such a "feel good" event that we are hoping to repeat it next year.
