A SNOW FIG 'HELLO"

I have decided to start this blog because I would really love to get the word out on my new cafe/food store, SNOW FIG GOURMET, perched on the hill at East Jindabyne.

I love the physical space which is Snow Fig and I am so enjoying cooking great food, researching new recipes and meeting like-minded people - those who believe in eating well, buying local, using organic, if possible, regional produce, the list goes on .

I had always fancied the shopfront, which is now Snow Fig, and I would drive past and fantasise about opening a little cafe where the coffee was brilliant, the pastries and sweet treats made in-house and fresh every day, and creating a menu that reflected the food I love to eat and serve my family.

I also wanted to be able to offer a range of regional produce, products that I would be able to tell my customers about - not only what was in the product but also who made them and the care and passion that went into making them. I love doing that!!

I have been open since March, 2009, and things are really quiet, but I so hope that when the word gets around that the locals will make the trip over the dam wall and up the hill and come and visit me and maybe try some of my food and have a coffee, and that people who are travelling through or visiting Jindabyne and the snowfields, might consider stopping and checking it out.
