Fennel Masala jam
The Perfect Recipe
In 2013 The Gourmet Entertainer was born with a range of individually crafted small batch unique bold condiments. The Gourmet Entertainer sourced ingredients from South Australian regions and went direct to farmer for fresh produce.
Signature condiment, Fennel Masala Jam, was built from scratch. Through 5 years of in-house perfecting to achieve the ultimate flavour profile and to exceed consumer experience & expectation. The tasting experience is nuanced and layered, the product perfectly thick and malleable for a variety of applications, and has a 3 year shelf life. All of this without the addition of preservatives or nasties.
vanuatu kava
Philanthropy
Teresa spent some of her formative years living in Vanuatu (located in The Pacific) on a remote island mission station. She and her sister played with the local kids, immersed in the culture and learning the languages.
In her adulthood she returned and reconnected with her childhood friends, and remembered the importance of culture and ritual. She now supplies Vanuatu kava to Ni-Vanuatu living in Australia. She has also aligned with charity Food For Life to raise money for essential resources for Vanuatu. 10% of every retail online sale of kava is donated to the charity.
