- 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.

Last weekend we had a workshop with Patricia Phillips from the Blue Bowl Cooking School that was great fun. We used the wonderful kitchen facility at the Berrima Public School, part of their Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden project.
Patricia was so organised with everything set up to make four different things and it ran like clockwork -

Well, what an interesting afternoon it was at Howards Lane vineyard for the Gelato Workshop yesterday.
Luigi making raspberry farm granita with berries freshly picked five minutes away at Cuttaway Creek Raspberry Farm!
Elena brought buffalo milk from her own herd of dairy buffalo to make buffalo milk and choc nugget gelato. This was my favourite!
Kym prepared the mixture for the olive oil and black pepper sorbet using her own olive oil, supervised by Luigi.
Everyone listening attentively as Luigi explains the process (or are they waiting for their next taste?)
Mary and Luigi
Fiona and Anastasia loved the "Coffee and Cream" - hand beaten coffee granita with freshly whipped cream
I had trouble visualising what Olive Oil Sorbet would be like - but it was delicious, with a smooth oily "mouth feel" at the end.
We ended up with a group of fourteen plus Kym who came to tell us about her olive oil business - Sutton Forest Olives. She had fun and stayed the whole afternoon. Included one very good child who has been to four FoodPath activities this year with his Mum!!
Can't believe we have had four FoodPath activities in the last six days - and we are not even exhausted. That's what happens when you enjoy what you are doing :)
