The Lowdown

This is a walking food tour of shops and eateries in a place I've called home for the past 16 years. 

My suburb doesn't bill itself as being on-trend, but it does have family-run businesses in spades, serving authentic food prepared with integrity.

My food tours feature local small businesses that focus on quality, all independently hand-picked by me for your enjoyment (no hidden commissions!).

TRAVELER'S DIGEST SAYS: "She knows the best places to get lip-smacking Asian grub that's the real deal."

BLOGGER NOT QUITE NIGELLA SAYS: "I...got a glimpse into the hidden secret treasures of Burwood from one of its most lively and knowledgeable residents."

IMPORTANT NOTE:
- A minimum booking of 4 people required.
- Tours can be scheduled on any Friday or Saturday, with at least 2 weeks' notice. Contact Host using "Ask me a question" link.

What to expect

1. Two light meals in homely, family-owned eateries.
2. Multiple food tastings.
3. Shopping secrets.
4. An original recipe, plus other quick and easy meal ideas.
5. Cultural insights and stories.
Plus...a few surprises to make your experience truly unique.

You will encounter food from 4 or more regions.  You will get the owner's inside story, or a light-hearted dose of culture.  It's much more fun exploring my 'hood with an insider in the know!

What to bring

• Bottle of water.
• Cash in case the shopping bug hits. The price covers all meals and tastings.
• Chiller bag.
• Comfortable shoes.
• Not Quite Nigella wisely wore elasticised pants.
