CLASSES:
Teaching with
Adult Education.

If I had to say what I was best at I think the answer would have to be teaching.

I have enjoyed the opportunity over the last 30 years to be involved in the Adult Education system in Tasmania. I always come away from teaching a class feeling better than when I went in. I’m sure that this is down to the interesting and interested people who enrol in the classes and enjoy getting their hands into the cooking and then enjoying the results of their labour. I also get a thrill from reliving some of my travel stories as I share them with the classes.

All my classes are ‘hands-on’ and we make a lot of different dishes in the classes and then share the tasting so that the students get a real insight into the variety of dishes that have been produced in the class.

Margaret Fulton
and Judith Sweet

I feel fortunate to have met with, and worked with Margaret several times

Over the years and these are certainly highlights of my professional career. She is a delightful, feisty, aware and vital person who has greatly influenced the cooking in many Australian households.

 I remember using some of her recipes when I had overseas guests at my restaurant and I frequently received comments as to the authenticity of the dishes.

I have experienced the pleasure of having lunch at Margaret’s delightful Balmain home. I sat in her kitchen while she made us a mushroom risotto. Margaret has a superb china collection acquired on her many overseas trips and I was fascinated to listen to the tales behind certain of her special china pieces and artefacts. I also have a passion for china and enjoy having reminders in my kitchen of the places I have travelled .My first’ ‘special’ piece of china was inspired by the cover on one of Margaret Fulton’s Weekly Cookery Course which was a selection of recipes from the 1968 publication.

In 2004 Margaret visited Hobart, courtesy of Hill Street Grocer, and the Drysdale theatrette was filled with her fans. Together we demonstrated a selection of her favourite dishes.(photo taken at this function)

Margaret, now 81, and her daughter Suzanne Gibbs, food editor of Table magazine, came to Hobart as judges of this year’s Taste of Tasmania. Margaret had recently had a quadruple bypass operation, and although a little frail she still put her heart and soul into her role.
