mr relish and I packed up our tent, a few boxes of relish and jumped in the car for an adventure to the Wollombi Valley market during the Queens Birthday long weekend. Located at the Wollombi saleyards in the heart of the historic colonial village of Wollombi, it takes just over an hour or so from Sydney (just before Cessnock in the Hunter Valley wine region). The market is held four times a year on the Monday of each long weekend and...

3 weeks post good food & wine show ‘09 and things are officially back to normal! Well kinda. We needed a little break after the build up of the show, but mr.relish decided to take that a bit too literally and broke his leg last week!!! Eeeeeeek, so he’s officially out of action on the relish this. front (well on all fronts actually) for a long while. Arghhh! On a positive note, the exposure received from the show has been...

wahoo we did it! we survived the good food & wine show ‘09. After a lot of work and preparation, we managed to pull off a pretty successful effort at sydney’s good food & wine show over the weekend.  Of course it was a massive team effort and there’s no way it could’ve  gone so well without the fabulous relish this. crew who helped out on the stall over the 3 days. I also want to share how appreciative...

Thankfully, all our hard work paid off and the stall was left looking pretty slick – especially in comparison to the big boys we were there with and the size of their ’stand’ fit out budgets! We were on a corner in a pretty good location which was a big plus too. A huge thank you to my spunky mr relish who lugged all of this HEAVY...

I am starting to freak out. Just a little. Ok it’s not a massive occassion for everybody, but it sure is for me. Yeah you might think I’m over exaggerating or stressing out about nothing, but when you’re exhibiting at your first big fat foodie tradeshow with your own little product made by your own little hands,  I bet you will be feeling the sweat too! Now there’s only five whole days to go until we set up and...

What an interesting event this one was! Unfortunately the rain played a big part in making this outdoor event a lot trickier than we predicted, and with council restricting us from driving on the grass to unload and set up, things were challenging from the get-go. The thunderstorms, mud and rain obviously had an influence over the attendance thus effected sales, but it was still a successful day with lots of interested, and ...
