- 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.

It has been a great week and it is only Tuesday!
Yesterday at a Member's Breakfast one of our wonderful Slow Food members put up her hand to take over the running of the local Convivium (group/chapter). I have been the Convivium Leader for the past two years and a committee member for 7 years and it was time to step down. Too busy!
It really looked as though the Convivium was going to close down but no - Rose came to the rescue at the eleventh hour! Thankyou Rose! Then Nick offered to take over the admin, an important role and Sue is happy to continue to organise the Member's Breakfasts. So - we can look forward to another interesting year.
A lot of work has gone into the development of Slow Food Southern Highlands and we have an interesting and dynamic membership.
I am so happy everything worked out.
