Formerly eats. Hi I'm Heather, a professional cook and food content creator, a former marketing executive and for 15 years I was a stay-at-home mum. I re-entered the workforce and changed my entire career in my late 40s. I live in Sydney (best beach and food city!) with my hubby and a schnauzer cross spitz (a Schitz!) called Lillie. I have three kids who have all flown the coop and whi

le I miss them desperately, I also enjoy being able to wander the house naked, the thrill of a continually clean guest bathroom and not having to decide what to cook for dinner every night unless I feel like it. You can find me on the beach, at a café with a coffee, on a barstool making friends over cocktails or (my fave place..) in front of a mini G&T in an uncomfortable aircraft seat on the way to anywhere, my phone open to IG food videos, wondering what to eat, where to go and what to do FOR THE NEXT COURSE…

A Ricky Bobby quote, a Christmas tradition my kids deeply resent, and a boss who keeps beating me to the coffee machine. It's about the things we're waiting for that are waiting for us to stop waiting

The team from Pathfinders are back to drop off another load of pumpkins 🎃

Each year they do a road trip from Armidale all the way to Addi Road in Sydney’s Marrickville with a group of young people and goodness knows how many pumpkins.

The trailers are unloaded and two full pallet sized boxes are stacked up in our Gumbramorra Hall. It’s safe to say these pumpkins won’t be hanging around for long. We’ll distribute some of them through our two food pantries and use the rest in meals that will go out to community. Our chef Heather is already busy plotting soups, roasts, bakes and other pumpkin-powered delights.

Thanks to the wonderful team at Pathfinders for clocking up the kilometres and delivering this impressive pumpkin donation to Addi Road 🚚🧡
