TESTIMONIALS
“I organised, with a group of friends, to do several of Nina’s Food Tours, in 2022. We did, Cringila, Port Kembla and Warrawong. Each tour was unique and well organised. I loved the experience getting to know our local neighbourhoods and learning about new food and drink opportunities. We ate and drank our way around the suburbs and I’ve been back to many of the venues to either eat or buy, what’s on offer. I thoroughly recommend giving any, or all of Nina’s Food Tours a try’.

“If you are a food lover, & are curious about what shops in out of the way places might offer, I recommend a Nina Cantina Foodie Tour. Nina's well researched knowledge & great raport with the traders reveals hidden delights backed up with yummy samples. The Cringila Foodie Tour was my first & proved that ordinary facades should not be dismissed. The best way to check them out is with someone who knows them well, & Nina certainly does.”

"We had the most wonderful time discovering new foods & tasting some of the local culinary wonders. Nina was so friendly & generous with her knowledge about where to find & how to use the local produce. We learnt a lot & met some of the most beautiful people who call Cringila home. Thanks so much Nina, we will definitely be back for another tour!”

“Nina researches and prepares her food tours meticulously. She connects the participants with the businesses in the area and their often unknown food delights. I have thoroughly enjoyed the two tours I have done - Port Kembla and Cringilla. The opportunity to locate the cafes and delicatessens and sample their foods was amazing. Some of the places were hidden away! I have returned to these shops to buy their produce.”

“ I was given the Cringila walking tour as a birthday gift & couldn't have been more happy with my foodie morning exploring with Nina. Nina's respect for & knowledge of the rich local food culture & businesses makes this a not to be missed experience. There was time at each stop to buy goodies to take home & we tasted & ate food along the way. The Burek was outstanding! Thanks Nina for a fabulous tour.”

“ Nina’s cooking classes are phenomenal. She offers a wide range of cuisines & is highly skilled in all of them, either growing up with particular dishes or visiting the country & learning in a home environment. Classes are hands ON & presented in an informal fun way, it’s like you walked into her home. While learning to cook Nina regales the class with stories of her cooking life. I have done a number of her classes & always look forward to the next. All the recipes I have made time & time again & often return to the area to purchase local ingredients & meet the store owners Nina introduced the class to. Nina is able to combine her culinary skills & incorporate her local community in an easy, friendly & fun way.”
