The story

From paddock
to pot.

Party in the Paddock

Starting in 2017 in a Tasmanian paddock, whilst nourishing the crew of music festival ‘Party in the Paddock’, the seed of Mumma Shaz was planted. Watching as the crew devoured spoonfuls of my home made Kasundi, their compliments and cries for more inspired me to relocate to Tasmania.

Grounded in the North

In 2022, after grounding myself in the Northern region of this beautiful island of Tasmania, surrounded by community, with nothing but a pot, wooden spoon and the kitchen of a Launceston nightclub, I started my next life adventure. Using only the best quality, locally sourced Tasmanian and Australian ingredients, small batch and handmade, you will find no preservatives in any of my products. Just long, slow cooks, the way it used to be. This style of cooking allows the release of nutrients and intensifies the flavours of every jar of Mumma Shaz’s Kasundi, Tomato Sauce, Chilli Oil and Apple and Pepperberry Jelly.

The craft

Made the
long way.

01

Slow cooked

Three hours on the stovetop, not three minutes in a factory. Long, slow cooks release the nutrients and intensify the flavour of every jar.

02

No preservatives

You will find no preservatives in any of my products. Just whole ingredients, cooked down and sealed the way it used to be done.

03

Hand stirred

Small batch, made by hand. It began with nothing but a pot and a wooden spoon, and every jar is still stirred the same way.

04

Tassie sourced

Locally sourced Tasmanian and Australian produce, made in Australia from at least 90% Australian ingredients.

Recognition

Royal Tasmanian
Fine Food Awards

Three medals, earned the same way every jar is made: slow, and by hand.

With love from Tasmania

My Tassie adventure has led me to selling at local farmers markets, being stocked on local shelves and winning Tasmanian awards, making it easier to add a little Mumma Shaz to your creations and community.
