Visitor Feedback
1 May 11
As a new local business it is uplifting to receive so many positive comments about what we do and also about the people we work with in the Valley.
So many of our guests have thoroughly enjoyed attending our Italian, Moroccan and kids classes that they are now coming back for a second visit.
Generally, they book in for a cooking class, then decide to make a weekend of it and stay in local accommodation for a couple of days.
Our Foodies Trail has also proven very successful - again for groups who also choose to stay in the Valley. We have received only praise for all of the local producers we visit on our trail. One client even commented that she would love to live in a community with such friendly, happy people.
The Trail also generates quite a bit of additional income into the local economy and without the support of local producers it would not be a success. I would like to publicly acknowledge the following businesses that are so generous in sharing their time and knowledge with my clients:
Banksia Park
Barrengarry store
Fudge Addiction
Homelea Cottage
Kangaroo Valley Grocery store
Kangaroo Valley Olives
The Gallery in Kangaroo Valley
Wendy and Dave Christian Aquaponics
Yarrawa Estate
I thought I'd share a couple of lovely testimonials we have received-
"Hi guys, thanks for a great day last Saturday on your Foodie Trail. I loved every single place we went to and am already considering doing it all again!! It was so nice to have such lovely people (you two!) to show me & my hen's party around the Valley. I have already recommended you to a few people & will continue to share my experience with anyone who will listen!Thanks again. All the best, Kate :)""
"On sunday myself and a mini bus of friends had the most wonderful afternoon, eating ,making pasta, laughing and enjoying the company of Toni and Robert in their beautiful sanctuary..highly recommend it ! A lovely way to spend a Sunday - thanks guys :)""
"My 11 year old daughter Issy had the most rewarding and funfilled 4 sessions with Toni. Issy tells me she was a really kind and patient cooking teacher. Toni and Rob instilled confidence and skills towards Issy,s love of cooking. After the 4 sessions Issy has gone on to cook all the menus that Toni demonstrated within the course.She loves cooking and is begging to go back for more classes."
"I recently have had the sensuous pleasure of cooking and eating spectacular Italian food prepared while doing my cooking course with Flavours. Toni was a professional, efficient teacher whose calm but watchful manner made her fun to work with on the day. I enjoyed the experience so much I have encouraged my husband and few of his friends to do the course together. Not only will you be blessed with the cooking experience, you will do it in an ambient country setting that is just the thing to soothe away any city and/or work tensions."
"I just wanted to thank you for the stimulating learning experiences last Wednesday. Everyone was enthusiastic and thoroughly enjoyed it. Dorothy returned to Darwin on Friday and texted us yesterday to report that she has purchased a pasta machine - an absolute tribute to the de-mystification you achieved in the class. We will certainly be recommending others to attend."
