- 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.

Well we had another lovely day at Biota Dining in Bowral for their Celebration Sunday. No doubt this is growing every month. The weather was good which always helps and there were lots of stalls at the Market in the garden.
This is a very picturesque little Produce Market set up in the garden near the lake, with geese swimming around and really setting the scene.
Products today included:
Potatoes, sheep's milk cheese, sourdough bread, coffee from our local coffee roasters, jams and chutneys, fresh hazelnuts, wine, fresh vegetables, olives, olive oil, apple cider, free range pork and lamb and skin care products made from olive oil. New stalls today included Sally Beresford who had started to produce her own range of chutneys and sauces; some vegetable growers from Murrenbateman, Jim Gleeson with his fresh hazelnuts, Sally with her coffee and Joey with her jams and jellies.
I took a Market Tour for 6 people at 10.30 and was not able to fit all the stall holders in by 12 noon, when we moved inside for lunch! Such interesting people that everyone wanted to linger.
Lunch was delicious and ample - good value for $55.
Starters included:
Zucchini flowers - pumpkin - house made ricotta
Roast garden beetroots - Pecora sheep milk cheese - Currawong extra virgin olive oil
Fuji apples - fennel - chives - sticky onion
Mains were:
Roast Redleaf suckling pig
Apple cinnamon chutney
Roast potatoes - hazelnut butter
Sauteed curly kale - chilli - garlic
To finish:
Rhubarb tartlet - yoghurt sorbet - vanilla creme
Meringue - lime curd - tarragon
Don't forget you are always welcome to join us in a Market Tour followed by lunch at the FoodPath table if you would like to.
Date: The last Sunday of the month
Where: Biota Dining, Kangaloon Rd, Bowral
Time: 10.30 - 1.30
Price: $55 pp
To book: Contact us from the website www.foodpath.com.au and we will send you a booking form
