THE tasty fruits, or sweets, of two business’ combined labours will be showcased next month as part of a tasting masterclass.<\/p>\n

Saltbush Kitchen’s Brigid Corcoran and Lucky and James owner Jade Davidson are set to share their efforts in blending their respective business’ bush food and chocolate.<\/p>\n

“I’ve been working with Brigid since just before Christmas creating chocolates for her,” Ms Davidson said.<\/p>\n

“It proved to be a really successful venture. Everybody’s found them to be an accessible way to try bush foods.<\/p>\n

“I’ll give people who attend a peek behind the chocolate making with a tasting and teaching them about percentages and its origins.<\/p>\n

“Then it’ll be a tasting with our products combined before Brigid leads a chat about her role and her passion for native foods and a tasting of her products.”<\/p>\n

Taking place at Saltbush Kitchen, the event is capped at about 20 people and each attendee will receive a gift bag of chocolate and bush foods upon its completion.<\/p>\n

Ms Davidson said her collabration with Ms Corcoran had been a resounding success.<\/p>\n

“There’s been so much support over the past few months.<\/p>\n

“I started making chocolates for her leading into Christmas. They flew out the door then and during Easter to the point they’re part of the standard range.<\/p>\n

“For every small business around, we need to adapt and pivot more than ever and try new things. As far as I’m aware, no one’s done a chocolate tasting experience in Ballarat before.”<\/p>\n

The masterclass will run from 2pm to 4pm on June 16, and again on July 21.<\/p>\n
