Top quality cookware at home cook prices from Black Wattle

Scott Burns and Alicia Robinson have turned their passion for food and entertaining into a business of top end cooking, tableware and barware under the brand Black Wattle.

Located at Bathurst in central NSW, Black Wattle Premium Cookware supplies home cooks and chefs with quality fry pans, saucepans, cheese boards, coasters, slate serving boards, carving boards, carving sets, barware, tableware, wine sets, knives and knife accessories. 

Scott and Alicia had previous bought and sold some cookware through auctions and from this they initiated their own brand of cookware that is manufactured to topline specifications for sales and promotion throughout Australia via field days, large markets, online and now opening a retail shop in Bathurst. 

“Our stall at Henty’s Farm Gate Produce Area this year will be a full-on shop with 60-70 different lines,” Mr Burns said. 

“A lot of it revolves around top quality knives including the ultimate chef’s knife of the Japanese Damascus and the silver and gold editions of professionally polished and corrosion resistant German stainless-steel knives with Pakka wood handles. 

“Each knife comes individually presented and boxed with the Black Wattle engraved logo. 

“These knives are priced for the home cook but are a premium quality.”

Although Black Wattle has exhibited at the Australian National Field Days and Mudgee Small Farm Field Days, it will be the first year for the business at Henty. 

Growing up on a mixed cropping property in the central west, Scott attended the Henty field days from a visitor’s perspective a decade ago.

“Field days are second nature for me.”

Scott said his business partner Alicia is an exceptional cook with a good attention to detail.

“Individual knives and knife sets, including accessories such as a timber magnetic board for knives are very popular,” he said.

“One of our best sellers is the barware, particularly the whiskey sets with curved glasses and a set of six stainless steel cubes for freezing to act as ice. 

“At Henty we will have styled sets of carving knives and wooden boards plus the popular slate serving boards for cheese and condiments.

 “We will be bringing a large range of unscratchable diamond coated frypans and saucepans.”

Future plans for Black Wattle include expanding into interactive cooking classes via their website and digital media.
