Meet The Chef

I grew up in North East Victoria in a little patch called Peechelba on a farm where food was grown and picked daily. It wasn't until I started my cooking life that I realised just how special that was and how it had woven its way into my core.

I started out catering for film crews and production houses in Melbourne. A few pubs and a Spotted Dog cafe later I headed for the sunshine of Brisbane where The Loaded Larder food manufacturing wholesale business was born and offloaded.

Whilst still dabbling in festival catering and private chef work on the side because events, travel and catering was what I love best Taste Trekkers was launched.... A cooking school and food tour company...ahh perfect!

I moved back to the north east to Beechworth in 2016 and am in the process of curating more local food treks with producers and farmers and continuing teaching.

The curious mind of a cook makes for a great travel partner and guide. I have recently joined forces with Scott Daintry in a new venture to bring you Beechworth Barrel Tours - so if you come to the North East be sure to look me up for some entertaining food and wine adventures..Sally x
