Tumbeela customers include chefs, distilleries, cheese wrights, wineries, and of course, enthusiastic home cooks.<br><br>Over the years, hundreds of people have visited Tumbeela. Through our tour groups, we have introduced numerous Australians to a range of native plant foods, including our flagship product Lemon Myrtle. Few have come with any awareness of the edible aromatic herbs and spices, nuts and berries growing in the Australian bush. However, our visitors have tasted and smelled lemon and aniseed myrtle, mountain pepper, wattleseed, bush tomatoes and quandongs, with many experiencing these flavours for the first time. There has been no lack of enthusiasm!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">As chefs have become more native-food savvy, and developed the skills and<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>imagination to use them, increasingly they feature in the dishes on their menus. Customers readily accept native flavours when the dishes they are used in look good and taste good. Recipes featuring Lemon Myrtle in particular make frequent appearances in many restaurant menus, with this ingredient now known and enjoyed by customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Tumbeela customers, past and present, include:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The Hyatt Adelaide<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The Hilton Hotel<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Mt Lofty House<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Woodside Cheese Wrights<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Jock Zonfrillo (Orana restaurant)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Andrew Fielke\u2014Creative Native Foods<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Settlers Spirits Distillery<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Something Wild<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Baylies Epicurean Delights<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Unico Zelo Winery<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Southern Forest Green Tea<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Tuckers Natural Crackers and Snacks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Mt Lofty Ranges Winery<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Lot 100 Restaurant and Distillery<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Short Stop Coffee, Barangaroo, NSW<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">and many others.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">A tribute to Jock Zonfrillo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Jock Zonfrillo, celebrity chef, Master Chef judge and owner of Orana restaurant (and others) in Adelaide, was a great friend to Tumbeela. Jock immigrated to Australia in 2000.\u00a0He became head chef of Restaurant 41 in Sydney, where he first used <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bush_tucker\"><\/a>Australian native food\u00a0in his cooking. In 2016, he started The Orana Foundation, to preserve historical cooking techniques and ingredients of\u00a0Indigenous Australians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Sadly, Jock passed away in 2023. Rest in Peace Jock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">&#8220;To our friend Jock Zonfrillo.
