About Shoalhaven Foodies

We're a group with a lot in common. There's our love of food of course. Sourcing, cooking, serving, eating and discussing it. Cooking is such a fun and creative thing to do and we all share the passion.

Each of us has chosen to walk an artistic path. Between us, we draw, paint, sculpt, work with clay, paper, create artists' and lifestyle books, write novels, short stories and poetry, take photographs and cook.

We also share a love of caring for the environment and sustainable living. Some of us grow our own vegetables, all grow our own herbs and use locally grown ingredients wherever possible.

This is our doctrine. Source food locally as far as possible and be as creative as we want.

One of the most important aspects of the group is the enthusiasm, friendship and support we share. We hope you enjoy visiting us.



"Frances' lunch was akin to being in a surreal artistic setting, with light streaming into her unique farmhouse filled with her inspiring artworks. With such a wonderful setting, it was a delight to have beautiful food too, with many of the herbs and vegetables picked from her garden. My favourite dish was the lavender crème brulee – so creamy and delicious!




"Next it was Colleen's turn, and this was another artistic experience. Colleen's walls were filled with the art she collects and one of her beautiful cats sat sedately in the background. Colleen also sourced a lot of her food from her garden and I was truly inspired by her loving care and the amazing amount of work she put into all her dishes The tastes of Morocco were truly gorgeous.




"Recently we dined at Kim's house, which is also filled with artworks she has created. Kim set up an Asian experience, with red as the overriding colour. Putting her creativity to work, Kim delighted us with fascinating and beautiful touches at the table and on the food. The food was delicious and, although it was hard (and even silly) to choose, the Rose Ice Granita was my favourite." -
