Taste Trekkers has moved from the sunny state down to the North East of Victoria to a beautiful part of the world and a town called Beechworth. I take food treks and wine tours both locally in Australia and selected overseas destinations for the curious food and wine lover. We meet producers, viticulturalists, brewers and distillers and rummage through grocery stores, sheds and cellars all in the hope of discovering something new and the promise of a tasty dish and a drop of something interesting.I love the thrill of the chase and scratching for great produce and the thrill of meeting knowlegable, hard working, crazy food and grog obsessive brainiacs everywhere.Taste Trekkers is re establishing a cooking school where small hands on classes are offered regularly in the old gaol in the beautiful North Eastern Victorian town of Beechworth. They are done in a relaxed, fun and informative environment with a focus on fresh, local, seasonal and easy to prepare dishes. Many of the classes developed as a result of our travels, local producers and the ingredients and gadgets we discover.I also offer consultancy to start ups and established businesses for set up and compliance. Having set up many of my own businesses and worked for many others I have a vast knowledge of small through to large scale production kitchens. A small amount of knowledge and preparation can save a whole lot of time, money and angst.
