Word of Mouth is a self-funded passion project so it’s just me and my camera… no camera crew… it’s a DIY film-making project. I'm not a chef, an Asian pop-star or a celebrity of any sort... just your average Joe Blow from Australia. I am, however, super passionate about the art of artisanal food production and traditional handmade food.

I acknowledge the Gadigal and Wangal people of the Eora Nation as the traditional custodians of the lands and waterways where I live, learn and work. I honour and pay my respects to Elders past, present and future.
