- 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.

Our FoodPath Fruit Bottling Workshop on Sunday 29 May with Steve Hogwood of the 1910 Bottling Company was a great success. We have lots of great photos which speak for themselves.
Have had great feedback from the participants which was very gratifying.
The next workshop on Sun 26 June is almost full already. We have to limit numbers to 10.
During the workshop we had coffee from our local coffee roasters Rush Roasting and fresh roasted hazelnuts from our Farmers Market tour yesterday.
Plans are afoot to change the time of these workshops to accommodate those who are driving from far away. We plan to start this in July.
The new time will be 10am - 1.30 with a lunch break - and a lunch option for purchase, or you can bring your own. The lunch option is likely to be a Ploughmans lunch with Steve's pickles and local cheese, bread, wine.
More details about that when it is finalised.
