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.

About Us...

Nick Padol, Southern Highlands, NSW, Australia.

Nick with his partner Jill has been running their business FoodPath in the Southern Highlands since April 2010. His motivation was to share his knowledge by taking others on a journey to discover local and regional food.

At the age of 4 when Nick had his first taste of coffee with his father at Andronicus’ Coffee Shop in Sydney he developed an interest in all things gastronomic. At the age of 24 his father gave him his 1st copy of Larousse Gastronomique. He now has an extensive library of cook books and he hasn’t looked back.

Not only is Nick an excellent cook and host with an interest in the cuisine of many cultures but he is also a food writer and cheese and coffee judge. He has been involved in regional food and wine related projects over the years and was an active member of Slow Food for 9 years.

We have a preserving class with Steve Hogwood of the 1910 Bottling Company scheduled on Sun 4 Aug. This time it will be on Pickling and Fermenting.

This is an interesting topic and covers the history and health benefits of fermenting food.
Our venue has changed to Eling Forest Estate which is on the Hume Highway at Sutton Forest, just before the Moss Vale/Canyonleigh exit - about 1.5hrs from Sydney. Steve runs his business from Eling Forest now and this is a beautiful historic location, well worth a visit.

Date: Sun 4 Aug 2013
Time 10am - 1pm
Price: $105
Inclusions: Tea/coffee on arrival, DVD with handouts, a jar to take home and a light lunch of crusty bread, cheese and Steve's pickles.
