Quirky Jo's visit to Perth and great allergy-aware demo at HO

[missgrunge]

Hey everyone,
Surely there is a thread on this somewhere? I was privileged to meet Quirky Jo in the flesh and attend her demo at HO on Friday.  Great dishes and lots of great tips and ideas exchanged between her and the animated audience.  Jo's main course chicken dish with the most delicious coconut, coriander and cashew sauce and with vegetables all done in the Varoma was delish.  Jo handed out the recipe for this dish and said her other demo recipes had just been put up on the recipe commmunity. 

Jo, could you please post the link to those dishes for us here?
Thanks again.
Miss G.

BTW, Jo's homemade chocolate is TDF!

Thank YOU guys - you were a great audience!!  I loved it, had so much fun, and it was so good to meet you all!!    And I've been told they'd like me back - yippeee!!  (Can I come back now? It's raining so hard here the septic's full and the toilet won't flush and the sink keeps backing up, and apparently it's going to last all weekend.    I'm ready for some more of that lovely Perth sunshine!!! lol)

I've been told I don't look like my profile pic, so I'm changing the photo - don't know if that'll help - I look a bit drunk in the new one since I never can keep my eyes open when the camera flashes!!! Oh well. (Btw, I'm not drunk!!)

I've been asked a couple of times to post the links to the recipes from the class, so here they are... they are linked to my blog, but you can also look at them on the recipe community, whichever you prefer. I guess the community is handy because you can print them out with the printer-friendly version - although for some reason part of the salmon salad pizza salad dressing seems to cut off when I print it - does that happen for anyone else??

Wish I could have been there....

Sounds like you all had a fab time. When you do come back, I'll be there come hell or high water.... whoops! Not a very good analogy given what the ES are going through!!

[quirkycooking]

Well if the water gets too high here, I'll just come sooner - lol!

[Cornish Cream]

Hey Jo like your new avatar. Sorry to hear about your water problems.Like MJ, I would have loved being there with you.Oh well back to playing the lottery.

[quirkycooking]

You never know, CC, you've already proved you're lucky!    Make sure you come visit once you get here!!

Hi guys,
I am so glad you all loved Quirky in Perth but you can't have her. Isn't she brilliant?
 I went to a class on Tues night with a friend (she is an owner) and Jo was the most professional and fun consultant there. Don't get me wrong the others were good but Jo was great! My friend quickly ditched her previous consultant which hadn't even booked in her basic demo after owning it for 12mths!!!
We love you Jo!

How every State in Australia wishes they had a Quirky Jo   Well done Jo, great to hear your trip was highly successful.

CC, you would have plenty of people to visit if you made a trip down under 

[quirkycooking]

Awww, thanks Virginia & JD!

When are you coming to Melbourne Jo??

Just done the David Wolfe tour Melbourne session & the interest raised amongst the Raw Food enthusiasts was amazing!!

[quirkycooking]

JEALOUS Janee!  Was it good? Would've loved to have been there! Did you have a Thermomix stall or something?

[Frozzie]

sounds like those who made it had a great time and jo you certainly have a fantastic reputation!  so were there photos of the forum members that made it??  Unfortunately a little far away to meet any of you lovely ladies...maybe one day on a trip out to oz!
