Who is Jade Jordan? I’m the owner and manager of White Rose Cafe in Temora. I moved to Temora when I was about two, and I did all my schooling here.
Favourite cuisine: I like all food.
Best recent dining experience: Das Melzer here in Temora. They do amazing food.
Most embarrassing pantry item: My pantry is pretty standard. There is nothing strange in there.
What ingredient can I not live without? Probably salt.
Best coffee spot in Temora: Definitely the White Rose.
What’s your coffee blend? Dimattina from Melbourne.
Next big thing in the Temora food scene: We have so many coffee bars and eateries in town … probably a drive-through coffee other than McDonald’s. I think that would probably be the next biggest thing.
