Jane Walsh’s love of food began by tugging at the hem of her grandmothers’ and mother’s aprons and asking if she could help. So started her obsession with all things culinary — flavours, textures, colours and taste.
A graphic designer by profession, Jane combined her love for art and food by leaving Australia to live at the epicentre of these cultures, London and Europe, for five years.
Her food journey began in Greece, where she lived and worked with a family who ran a colourful taverna. Here she discovered how to make an authentic tzatziki, the perfumed secrets of a complex moussaka, and — naturally — how to smash a plate.
In London, she spent time as an in-house cook for a prickly, aristocratic lady who resided in a refined residence off Sloane Street. There she learned to roast a guinea fowl, turn out summer puddings and the dying art of ‘elevenses’. She also ran an eclectic cafe in Putney that had a devout following and reputation for being both entertaining and eccentric, making sublime carrot cake known to foodies across London.
When Jane returned to Australia, she put her Continental experience and creative mind to use by working with co-directors to found the unique organisation Babes in Business. She works with a variety of corporate partners including the Foster’s Group, Youngcare, Triumph International, GoMA, Paramount Pictures, Universal Studios and has written columns for brisbanetimes.com.au. Jane balances this work with a variety of culinary consultation and graphic art direction roles with public and private sector organisations.
Jane resides in Australia with her family and friends, and an ever growing collection of precious cookbooks and food magazines stacked precariously all over her apartment.
