As
a member of the International Association of Culinary Professionals
and the Food Media Club of Australia, I did, for over 20 years
own Perth’s Premier Private Cooking School and Associated
Specialist Cookware Store AMANO. |
|
During
that time, I led Gourmet Groups to S.E. Asia and France, and
since 2001 have been a yearly invited Guest Chef at the prestigious
La Combe –en- Perigord Cooking School in the Dordogne
region of South West France. |
|
In
2008 I retired from Amano to indulge more fully my passion
for Cooking and Travel.
The bespoke nature of this tour is fundamental, my research
is paramount, with meticulous planning to ensure guests enjoy
a premium level of service and comfort. To get on a plane
and go somewhere beautiful is easily done, but it is finding
the personalities, passionate at what they do, combined with
really special products and places, that give people a memorable
experience. |

In
2010, Perth Restaurateur/ Chef KATE LAMONT will join me at
‘La-Combe’ |
|
A
sixth generation vigneron-cook who, with her sister opened
her first restaurant at the family’s Swan Valley Winery
in 1989, she is now the CEO of a group that includes three
of W.A.’s best loved award winning restaurants, a coffee
shop and one of the state’s most successful small wineries.
The author of 5 cookbooks, Kate is a prolific public speaker
and national guest chef, and sits on many state and federal
government boards spanning the Wine Food and Tourism industry
of Western Australia.

Kate
& I look forward to having you join us, and to share |
with
