Brand Spotlight
We caught up with Billie from Liquid Chai to pick her brain about all things Chai. Located on the idyllic Sunshine Coast, Liquid Chai is the story of one families obsession with this spiced Indian beverage. We love businesses like Liquid Chai that are committed to quality above all else. In a fast-paced world they have chosen to slow things down, and herein lies the secret to their irresistible chai. Each batch is brewed gently and slowly in order to extract the maximum flavour. Yum!
Rory Smith is a man who follows his passions. His love of film lead to him becoming a TV & Video editor, and his love of great booze lead him to starting both a distribution company and, most recently, his own gin distillery. We love supporting passionate people here at Mumbleberry, and Rory has always supported us in kind. We hope you enjoy a little peak into Rory's world!
We were extraordinarily lucky to recently have the opportunity to speak with Peter Ingall, one of the founders of Mayfield Chocolates. Mayfield Chocolates has been tempering, conching and experimenting with chocolate since 1993, and has well and truly become an institution for chocoholics across Australia. I found Peter's words quite inspirational, and I hope you do to!
Lifelong food obsessive, Lizzie Hewson, was studying her Masters in Food Culture & Communication at the University of Gastronomic Science in Piedmont, Italy when she caught the pasta bug. Following a particularly troubling bout of anxiety, Lizzie created a weekly ritual that would ground her and bring the racing thoughts back to earth. This was the beginning of Saturday Night Pasta.
We consider Michelle Mascher to be a true food hero, and so should you. For the past four years or so Michelle's amazing business, Ugly Duck Fine Foods, has been rescuing 'ugly' food rejected by supermarkets & other retailers, and turning it into amazing fruit pastes and spreads. We managed to steal Michelle away from her kitchen to pick her brain and see what makes her tick.
We are doing something a little different for this blog post. Normally we send out a list of questions for our producers to answer at their leisure and in their own time. However, Sarah Gan, of Ugly Food & Co. was less interested in this style of interview and instead asked if I could conduct it in person. Considering I am addicted to her crunchy chilli oil, I was happy to acquiesce.
