The search for Taree’s best baker exists as a result of a partnership between the Yellow Pages, White Pages and the CWA of NSW.
A first of its kind venture, it will see all Taree directories used to celebrate the phenomenal achievements of the state’s largest volunteer women’s organisation, the CWA of NSW, their love of food and the area’s finest baker.
Jacqueline Hyde won the hearts (and mouths) of a panel of judges from the Yellow Pages, White Pages and CWA of NSW, after a friend entered her into the online competition and demonstrated Jacqueline’s creativity in baking, as well as best describing why she deserved to win.
Commenting on the excitement of winning, Jacqueline said, “I was very surprised and totally thrilled to be chosen as Taree’s Undiscovered Baking Legend.
“When we lived rurally, I would bake this pie as a way of introducing our city guests to the local produce and it became everybody’s favourite. I still go to Pilliga yearly to hunt for fresh quandongs.”
Not only will Jacqueline feature on the front cover of this year’s Yellow Pages and White Pages cobound Taree book, but her tantalising quandong pie recipe and will also appear on the inside front cover for local residents to enjoy, alongside details of the phenomenal work that the CWA of NSW do in the area.
Talking about the campaign, Sensis spokesperson, Erin Williamson said, “We are extremely proud to partner with the Country Women’s Association for this year’s Yellow Pages and White Pages covers program.”
“It is a fitting partnership as we share a common goal of helping, supporting and connecting the community with the things that matter.
“We also have a mutual love of food – and cannot wait to see the nation’s undiscovered bakers revealed across our directories over the coming months.”
While working tirelessly for over nine decades to provide a voice and improved life conditions to women and children in regional and rural Australia, the CWA through its network of 1,500 branches, has also built a strong reputation in baking and empowering one another through the love of food, and the 2017/18 Taree cover will celebrate this aspect of the CWA.
State President of CWA of NSW, Annette Turner said, “Food is a very powerful thing; not only for the obvious reasons, but it has the ability to unite people.
"As most will know, we’re quite famous for our scones, so to have the opportunity to showcase some of our members and their amazing baking delights on the covers of the Yellow Pages and White Pages books, along with details of our recent work is an incredibly exciting thing.”
Distribution of the 2017/18 Taree Yellow Pages and White Pages cobound book featuring Jacqueline Hyde will take place from February 4.
