Jane came to Margaret River 15 years ago and while running the deli (Tuck shop) she would look out the window and wonder if she could blend her transient lifestyle with business and the mobile kitchen was born.. Jane was able to get formal training at Margaret River Tafe and is now a qualified Chef. Jane always felt good about cooking but the training has been invaluable in giving her confidence and courage to enjoy a career as a mobile chef in her lovely kitchen. np@westnet.com.au Palandri Wines (3 Oceans Wine Company) Fiona Flugge Experience premium award winning wines and fresh local produce served in the relaxed, contemporary surroundings of Margaret River's most innovative winery.
