An architectural scientist by profession, Helen Bennetts has always had an interest in growing and cooking food. She spent her university holidays helping in her parents' restaurant and at various times has made cheese, processed olives, helped establish a farmers market and catered for small and large events. Nearly 20 years ago Helen and her husband bought a small property with some old almond trees in Willunga, on South Australia's Fleurieu Peninsula, where she started learning about almonds and collecting recipes. Willunga Almonds is the result.
