Testing and writing recipes for cookbooks and Magazines including the Neil Perry section in the Sydney Morning Herald’s Good Weekend Magazine. I was also a contributor to drought fundraiser, Farmer Cookbook. I am now a regular recipe contributor to the Barossa Leader Newspaper and in the process of writing a cookbook.

Lucy's Foods

Lucy’s Foods was established in early 2015, when my sister gave me some figs from her laden tree. Not wanting them to go to waste, I turned the figs into paste and started selling to cheese shops. I now have distribution networks around the country.

Master Mike's

In autumn of 2021, my son Michael came home from school one day with pomegranates he had picked from a neighbour’s tree. He took it upon himself to squeeze the juice with his bare hands and so we made molasses.

Mike, a budding artist from a young age, designed the label and so we started selling to shops and creating recipes to share.

Indigenous foods

With a long history of family in Australia, Lucy is interested in bloodlines and multiculturalism.
With close connections to indigenous people, it has been a very natural progression for Lucy to “Go walkabout” and experience what is amongst us and close at hand.
