- Jill Dyson,
- Southern Highlands, NSW, Australia
- 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.

Wow, what a big day at Biota Dining in Bowral today for Celebration Sunday.
There were five new stalls at the Produce Market in the restaurant garden which is growing each month. These included truffles from Marulan, beef from Sutton Forest, horseradish and chilli products from Goulburn, fine food from Moss Vale and jams from Harrington Park - all fabulous.
This is probably the last market this season that we will see the Highland Gourmet Potatoes from Wildes Meadow and delicious Filbert Farm hazelnuts from Werai. We will have to wait patiently for them to come again next season. It makes you appreciate them all the more when they are not available all the time. Don't you agree?
We had a huge group on the FoodPath long table for lunch today - twenty two, our largest to date! All went well and everyone enjoyed themselves; and the food was delicious again.
However, we think we will limit numbers in future so the group is more manageable and everyone can meet and greet as they would like to. We are not really about large groups - more about friendly intimate experiences :)
So - we already have bookings coming in for next month Sun 26 Aug, so if you want to join us please don't delay in case you miss out. Contact us from the website to book www.foodpath.com.au.
Price: $55 Time: 10.30 Market Tour, 12.30 lunch.

It is very exciting because our big weekends are becoming more frequent and this has to be good.
The word must be getting out about what a great area the Southern Highlands is for food and that you can have fun when you come on a tour with FoodPath.
Thanks to everyone for talking to your friends and relatives about FoodPath - that is the best marketing we can ask for.
We have many people now who have been back several times and we love you! Just the sort of customers we want - like minded people who enjoy the same things we do.
This weekend coming we have a conference Partners Tour on Sat that has taken up our normal Day Tour.
On Sun we have a Preserving Workshop that is fully booked - but there will be another one next month if you missed out this time. Steve Hogwood is running this and is always good value and Gail Wilson has kindly offered her beautiful house (and kitchen) at Monreale, her Bed and Breakfast in Burradoo, as our venue. We are all excited about this collaboration and I am sure it will be excellent.
Please keep an eye on the website for what is coming up and let us know if you have a group of family, friends or work mates and would like a customised tour, just for you. This is a growing part of our business and seems to meet the needs of many. Contact us from www.foodpath.com.au, email info@foodpath.com.au or ring 0419 617 021.

| There are 14 cellar does in the Southern Highlands to visit |
Yesterday we had a group of friends who came from New Zealand, Melbourne and Sydney! They wanted to do something different to celebrate a 40th birthday and how nice for us that they chose the Southern Highlands! After discussing several options they chose an itinerary including visits to two Italian wineries and lunch at the Studio Restaurant in Exeter. What a good choice that was - it was a very pleasant day.
