Those of you who know the BWN know we love a good feed, and when it's for a good cause, even better! 🍽️❤️

While in Melbourne, I had the pleasure of attending one of Victoria University Melbourne's fabulous charity dinners at its culinary school in Footscray, where hospitality students get to showcase their skills while raising money for a good cause, in this case Feed Me Surfcoast. 🙏

And what a night! 🌟

Led by two-hatted chef Graham Jefferies from Samesyn in Torquay, the dinner was a brilliant demonstration of how creativity, sustainability and a zero-waste philosophy can come together to produce truly extraordinary food. Every course was delicious, inventive and beautifully presented. 🌼

So impressive to see the next generation of hospitality professionals embracing sustainable practices while delivering such a fantastic dining experience.

Huge congratulations to the students, chefs and everyone working behind the scenes to make it such a splendid evening! 👏👏

Great food, great cause, great company. What's not to love?

Attended the The Highland Woman breakfast today to hear the wonderful Jane Caro and what a delightful treat it was!

A few gems from my notes:
✨ Be yourself
✨ Focus on what you can control
✨ Have a go, growth happens in discomfort
✨ What others think of you is their business
✨ Sometimes, just scroll on by!

👏Thanks to the staff at Oliver's Restaurant for a delicious breakfast and to Scarlett and Amanda for organising

We had the most beautiful breakfast at Petrea King and Quest for Life Foundation.

Petrea talked us through her recipe for happiness and living well and was a complete inspiration to us all.

Our member, Holt from Dovida Aged Care, spoke about the importance of aged care and what services are offered.

Overall, a super inspiring morning!

Please note our September breakfast is sold out, but details for our October evening event at Cherry Tree Hill W**es will be sent shortly.

Hope to see you soon,
