Hello there!
Well, where to start? First of all, it’s been a while so I hope everybody has been doing well in spite of these extraordinary times.
Secondly, many apologies for the virtual silence on my part since putting things on hold. Plans were made with good intentions to restart Chilli & Vanilla in late 2019, but well, I think we all know what happened next…
With that said, I am proud to announce that Chilli & Vanilla is now relaunched as Small Batch Providore!
In keeping with the legacy and roots of Chilli & Vanilla, our mission continues to feature artisanal food made by fabulous makers from all around Australia’s many food and wine regions.
Thank you in advance for your continued support and I hope to have your continued support with Small Batch Providore.

First of all, Hi!
It’s been a while and thanks so much for your continued support.
Life got in the way and we made a tough decision to put a halt to Chilli & Vanilla mid-last year with plans to hop back in the game by the end of 2018, but that wasn’t to be so.
With that said, things are back on the up and up! We’re getting back on the proverbial horse and we’re excited to announce that Chilli & Vanilla will be back in late 2019!
There’s going to be a few changes around here. Most significantly, we’ll be discontinuing the monthly Gourmet Box. Reasons being; the challenging balance of making sure that each box included a decent value of products, the exorbitant cost of shipping in Australia, our standpoint on always paying our suppliers for their product instead of asking for free product and also ensuring that each and every box had a unique mix of products each and every month.
While all the above wasn’t an impossible task, it meant we were limited in the number of products and suppliers we could feature each month and trust us! There were certainly more than a handful of suppliers in each region that we would have liked to have included!
With that said, we’ll be relaunching Chilli & Vanilla as a more traditional online retail store.
In keeping with our legacy and our roots, we’ll continue on our mission to feature food from Australia’s many amazing food regions. To begin with, we’re kicking things off by bringing in goods from our favourite producers from our past gourmet boxes so if you have a favourite, we’d love to know!
Best regards,
Dianne from Chilli & Vanilla

It takes a lot of guts to take over a family business. There is, of course, the legacy that you need to carry on, but also the need to make the business your own. This is in no way different for Steph Ingall from Jamworks Gourmet Foods, who, with Christine Hood, took over her parents’ business in 2015.
We caught up with one half of the duo, Steph, to learn more about Jamworks Gourmet Foods.

My version of a very quick, tasty and filling meal is always eggs on toast, which I then mix up with whatever chutney, relish or condiment has been my latest obsession. What about you? 📷

Sweden might be a long way from the Lockyer Valley in Queensland, but that is the origin of the family recipe behind Mormor Food’s Vaxkraft vegetable stock concentrate that Melissa Sheppard makes.
We caught up with Melissa to find out where the name vaxtkraft comes from and how it’s made.

Taking a diagnosis of a lifelong chronic disease and using it to take a closer look at the food she ate was what led Felicity Philp and her life-long friend Kate Owen on a journey to create Friendship Food.
We spent some time with Felicity to learn more about her journey towards creating Friendship Food and its food philosophy.
It can’t be easy dealing with a chronic illness. It throws a wrench into the works of how you see your life evolving. For co-founder or Friendship Food, Felicity Philp, that was the diagnosis of scleroderma, an autoimmune disease. Instead of allowing the wrench to do its damage, it took Felicity a...

Cheers to another Friday! Gosh this week has flown by and infact, so has the first few months of the year. Meanwhile we're over here hankering for the abundance of raspberries on this brownie from . Raspberry and chocolate has to be one of my favourite food combos especially with dark chocolate - something about the tartness that goes so well with the sweetness and slight bitterness of dark chocolate. What are your favourite things to pair with chocolate? .

Who else could you trust to make a great chilli chocolate than a family that has grown chillis on their farm for over 20 years? That's exactly what mother and son team, Lynne and Jason do with .
We caught up with Jason to learn more about Seatonfire Chilli Chocolate, and what it’s like working with his mother on their family business.
Chilli and chocolate are not a common food pairing, at least not one you’d often come across in your regular day in Australia. My first introduction to that combination was in the form of mole sauce at a Mexican restaurant. First imagining perhaps a bittersweet chocolate taste with some spice, it ...

Lunctime meal envy - why can't our lunches look as perfect as these moroccan chickpea, sweetpotato and cauliflower bowls?

We love a good ethical and environmentally friendly business and one of these is Brown Paper Pantry who not only makes the most delish chai spiced pancake but also makes sure that all her packaging is 100% compostable.
We spent some time with Emmeline to find out more about the story behind Brown Paper Pantry and what drives her passion to run an ethical and environmentally friendly business.
We love a good ethical and environmentally friendly business, and it’s something we ourselves strive ourselves on. It’s one of the reasons we chose to focus on Australian made food and recently made the change from plastic bubble wrap to recyclable green wrap to protect our shipments. One such e...
