The BugleThe BugleThe BugleThe Bugle
In a David and Goliath
battle, John and Sam Crowl
from The Cow and the
Moon Artisan Gelato in
Sydney’s inner west caused
headlines around the world
recently when they won the
World’s Best Gelato title
in Italy.
The Bugle, however, is
the first to report on the
Kiama side of the story.
The owners of The Cow
and the Moon have strong
ties with Kiama and the
Illawarra. Wendy Crowl
(nee Maurer) grew up in
Kiama with parents Ian and
Anne Maurer. John Crowl
grew up in Albion Park.
The couple met at
The Spanish Inn restaurant
in Bong Bong St where
John was an apprentice chef
and Wendy was working
part-time whilst studying
at Wollongong University.
Having a holiday home in
Kiama, they regularly return
to the Illawarra to visit fam-
ily and friends.
The father and son team
from The Cow and the
Moon say the atmosphere
in Italy was electric, the
competition fierce and
winning the competition
was incredible. “It was truly
a dream come true,” says
John.
The three day finale to the
Gelato World Tour attracted
over 70,000 people with
24 finalists competing from
Rome, Valencia, Sydney,
Melbourne, Dubai, Berlin
and Austin in the US.
More than 6500kg of
gelato was produced and
more than 70,000 cups
and cones were consumed
in the town’s Piazza Fellini.
Their winning flavour,
Mandorla Afforgato,
embodies a Madegascan
vanilla bean gelato with
roasted caramalised coffee
almonds folded through
with a Kenyan coffee and
salted caramel sauce.
Wendy’s father Ian, and
his wife Judy East, travelled
to Rimini as John and
Sam’s official cheer squad –
a tough job but someone had
to do it – as Wendy stayed
home to man the shop.
Good thing too, given the
ensuing madness.
“Since winning, the lines
at our gelataria have been
out the door and down the
street and Mandorla Affor-
gato has been made non-
stop,” says John. Wendy’s
brother Damien, who lives
in Kiama, has been up help-
ing with the crowds.
John has been making
gelato for many years before
opening The Cow and the
Moon, and has taught many
people around Australia
and the world how to make
artisan gelato.
In Kiama he has been
an important mentor for
Kel and Mahlah Grey of
The Pines as they have
diversified their dairy farm’s
product into gelato making.
“John has been amazingly
generous with his time and
expertise,” says Kel. “He is
so passionate about getting
a quality product and under-
stands what we are trying to
achieve.”
Naturally enough, guests
at the recent wedding of
their daughter Katie in
Kiama, enjoyed a superb
gelato cake the Crowls
produced for the occasion.
For the observant, the
final Kiama connection
with The Cow and the Moon
comes with the artwork on
the walls of the café.
The queuing crowds have
plenty of time to appreciate
the quirky work of local
artist Wendy O’Malley,
who now runs Moss Nest in
Berry and was the illustrator
of the much loved book,
The Great Rock Whale.

Beating Italy at its own game: the Kiama connections
Who should join our Arts and Sports Honour Rolls? Nominations for the Kiama Arts Honour Roll and
the Kiama Sports Honour Roll are closing soon.
The Rolls honour individuals from the Kiama
community who excel within their chosen field.
The Arts Roll was initiated in 2013, and the
Sports Roll in 2008. Past recipients of the Sports
Roll include Mick Cronin, Norma Stead, Simon
Kale and Sally Fitzgibbons. The late Australian
painter Lloyd Rees (right), who had a strong
association with Gerringong, was the first inducted into the Arts Roll.

This Month’s Pics & Flicks The Gilded Cage is a
charming comedy about
a hard-working migrant
couple in Paris who un-
expectedly inherit a fortune
and estate in Portugal.
The only problem is the
family and occupants of the
apartment block they man-
age don’t want them to go,
so they try to undermine
their plans. It’s a salutary
warning on the dangers of
becoming indispensible!
The Gilded Cage was
the Winner of the People’s
Choice Award for Best
Film at the 2013 European
Film Awards, and is sub-
titled from the French and
Portuguese.
