Aficionados will have to head to Adelaide Hills Gourmet Foods in Woodside’s chocolate factory complex on Friday and Saturday nights to try Sarina Waterman’s efforts.
Mrs Waterman says customers can judge for themselves if the bases gave her the edge in winning National Foods’ Best of the Best Pizza Challenge in the traditional category.
“Our dough is beautiful and we make all our own pizza sauces and use as much local produce as we can,” she said.
“Everything we use is South Australian – even our yiros uses lamb from Richard Gunner’s Feast Fine Foods.”
Mrs Waterman was in fine company at the prestigious food industry contest that was run during the Good Food and Wine Show at Melbourne last week. Read the rest of this entry »

Kathy Snape
Sinclair’s Gully at Norton Summit successfully combines wines with eco tourism and music, all in a spectacular setting of candlebark gums.
Kathryn Snape performed at Sinclair’s Gully during the recent Fringe and will be returning in April for two performances of ‘Phantom in the Forest’.
The first, on Friday April 2, has already sold out, and a second has been arranged for April 3.
Sinclair’s Gully owner Sue Delaney said the response had been amazing, so she decided to present a second concert.
A coloratura soprano, Kathryn began performing at the age of five in her native Yorkshire. After coming to Australia with her family, she was classically trained by State Opera soprano Rae Cocking.
Kathryn comes from a very musical family – her father being principal cornettist for the English Black Dyke Brass Band and musical director for the Kensington and Norwood Brass Band. Kathryn also played the cornet and flugel in bands until she was 21, then concentrated on her singing.
The performances at Sinclair’s Gully will include such favorites as ‘Music of the Night’ and ‘Nessun Dorma’.
Pre-performance drinks will be served from 7pm at the cellar door and the performances commence at 8pm. Patrons are advised to dress warmly.
Bookings are essential, on 8390 1995 or wine@singlairsgully.com

Ulli Spranz, the State’s Rural Woman of the Year and Adelaide Hills biodynamic farmer, said she never considered running a “conventional” farm. Instead, her passion lies in the organic industry.
Mrs Spranz and her husband Helmut run B.-d. Farm Paris Creek, which manufactures biodynamic/organic milk, yogurt and cheese products.
“My parents and also Helmut’s parents were very conscious about what we ate and so organic food was what we grew up with,” she said. “We came from a culture where the best quality food was an important part of life.
“Therefore conventional farming was never a consideration.” Read the rest of this entry »
