- 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.

Looking forward to another leisurely day at Biota in Bowral on Celebration Sunday, 29 Sept 2013. Join the Market Tour first in the restaurant garden followed by a 3 course lunch of tasting platters at the FoodPath table.
Did you know that Biota Dining not only achieved two hats in the SMH Good Food Guide this month, but was also awarded Best Regional Restaurant and Best Regional Wine List.... fantastic!
Great value at $20 pp for the Market Tour and $65 pp for lunch.
A nice way to spend a Sunday?

In earl April I was asked by Destination NSW to escort Christina Pfeiffer for a day in the Southern Highlands and to introduce her to some of the interesting people behind out local food. She was writing an article for the Wellbeing magazine - which is expected to be in the June edition.
Christina also videos her travels and with help from her husband she produces short "webisodes" which she loads onto her online channel TRAVELTHERENEXT TV (www.traveltherenext.tv).
In the Highlands she spent about 3 days and she is now launching a series of webisodes weekly on Friday for the next 8 weeks. The first one was released on Fri 31 May and is about FoodPath and our day together - click on the link http://youtu.be/QbHEYSkcr1I
We are so grateful for exposure like this which is very helpful to businesses like ours!

Would you believe there are five trufferies that I am aware of in the Southern Highlands - and we were lucky to visit one today on our first FoodPath Chef's Tour.
We were introduced to Jet the blue heeler who has been trained to find truffles and he demonstrated his skills as we looked on from a distance.
He walked along the line of oak trees, suddenly stopped and scratched in the ground and there it was! He was rewarded with a special pat and a game of ball which he loves.
They smell a bit earthy and pungent and you either love them or you don't. I am a bit fascinated and they are still a novelty because we haven't had many - that's what made today so special!
Mind you we had truffle butter at the Biota M. arket yesterday, truffle shaved on our dinner at Biota Dining last week and then truffle infused Brie today, so we are doing well :)
Our Chef's Tours are not open to the public but are "industry tours" to help our local producers to develop their sales. They will be held on the last Monday of the month. Open to Chef's and anyone working in the food industry. To book contact us from www.foodpath.com.au
