Three Girls One Dream!
Julie Rosser
In 1995, Julie Rosser, a long-standing Yass resident, decided to fulfill her passion for great flavorsome food by opening Yass Country Kitchen. It was not long before word spread about the quality and tastiness of her food, and this helped her business go from strength to strength.
During the years 1999-2003, Julie decided to test her cooking skills by entering the Great Aussie Pie Competition, and achieved a number of medals for her pies – even featuring in the Good Food Guide.
Aimee and Sharleen
While Julie owned the business, she trained and mentored many local young people as they worked in her shop, but there were two girls waiting for their turn. And so, when Julie decided to retire, we - Aimee and Sharleen - bought Yass Country Kitchen and now own and operate the shop, in which we spent a combined 30-years of our younger lives.
Since taking ownership of Yass Country Kitchen, we have tweaked the food, and we are weaving our personalities into the menu and the philosophy of the business – and we are proud to say that the food is still homemade and yummy. The passion for flavorsome food that Julie instilled in us is still going strong!
The evidence of this is that in 2022 we entered the National Australia's Best Pie Competition and proudly walked away with two medals and a merit to add to our already famous name.
Come and visit us - we look forward to feeding you!
BUT THAT’S NOT ALL!
YCK is not just about pies, however. Each morning, Aimee and Sharleen can be found at the shop making a vast array of fresh baked goods, including Pies, Quiche, Muffins Croissants and much much more. Much of the produce used at YCK is sourced locally –, free range eggs from a local farm, the meat from DJ'S Family Butchery and Riverina fresh milk. We employ and train many local people from the community.
We also have organic coffee all from Fish River Roasters, along with natural Arabica beans roasted in Australia. Our pizzas are all available for home delivery, and all bases are made on the premises with the finest fresh toppings. Gluten-free bases are available, as well.
In addition, YCK provides catering during the day to many local and out-of-town businesses and services. All your favorites are available, including sandwiches, hot finger foods, wraps, fruit platters and cakes. All of our sauces are made in-house also. The veggies and fruits we use are sourced locally and hand-cut. We even source our pasta from scratch! Rest assured, we make sure to take extreme care with our vegetarian patrons, and those with allergies.
