In-Person Workshops & Cooking Classes
Announcing Quirky Cooking Classes
in WA in November!!
Join me for a 90-minute cooking class, talk and Q&A, then stay for another hour and enjoy a cuppa, snacks and chats with me and other guests!
In the 90-minute live cooking demonstration and talk, I’ll share my passion for food that heals, nourishes and brings people together. From a vibrant, probiotic salad and crispy seed crackers, to succulent spiced chicken, silky butter sauce and decadent chocolate pudding, I’ll be demonstrating recipes from my upcoming cookbook that I hope will become new family favourites. Guests will receive the recipes via email after the event.
As I cook, I’ll share practical tips for creating delicious, nourishing meals that support gut health, while keeping your cooking simple, achievable and enjoyable. There will be opportunity to ask questions at the end.
After the cooking demonstration, stay for another hour for a cuppa and a chat. Enjoy a small cup of my Spiced Hot Chocolate, some 4 Seed Crackers, and a selection of whole-food nibbles while you mingle with other guests. I’d love to meet you, so come say hi!
Bring along your Quirky Cooking books to be signed, or pre-order Quirky cookbooks with a 15% discount to collect on the night. I have limited space to transport stock, so please pre-order to access the sale prices (not available on the night) and to ensure you don’t miss out.
You’ll also get to meet some wonderful local food businesses at the event who share a similar whole-food philosophy. Browse their products and enjoy some extra tastings along the way.
Cooking Demonstration
Rainbow Probiotic Salad
Designed to nourish your gut microbiome, this colourful, crunchy salad is packed with a wide variety of fresh and fermented veggies, tossed through a tangy probiotic vinaigrette.
Spiced Orange Sticky Chicken
Watch as I butterfly and salt-brine a whole chicken, create a fragrant orange glaze with warming whole spices, roast the chicken and finish it with a silky orange butter sauce made from the reduced glaze. A beautiful dish for celebrations, Christmas dinner or sharing with family and friends.
Gut-Nourishing Chocolate Pudding and Hot Chocolate
A luxurious chocolate pudding that transforms easily into a rich, warming hot chocolate. Made with whole-bean cacao paste and gently infused with warming spices, it’s a delicious reminder that nourishing food can also feel wonderfully indulgent. You’ll get to taste the spiced hot chocolate after the class.
4 Seed Crackers
Why buy expensive, GF crackers when you can quickly make these crisp, seedy crackers at home with whole-food ingredients! Perfect for snacks or grazing platters, and super easy to make. You’ll get to taste these with cheese and dips after the class.
* All recipes made on the night are gluten free and grain free. The hot chocolate and crackers which will be served as tastings are also dairy free.

Reviews
How it works:
- We start the class with a chat about food for healing and an explanation of the dishes we’ll be making (and how they fit into a healthy diet)
- I demonstrate the dishes on stage (with livestream on screen so everyone can see the cooking ‘close up’).
- There will be some audience participation, and opportunity to ask questions during and after the cooking class.
- Once the class is finished, we will have an hour to mingle, chat and enjoy some tastings from the class and from local food businesses. Get your books signed, come say hi, and enjoy a relaxed night out with friends!
- The recipes made during the class will be emailed to you afterwards so you can try them at home.
Learn new skills, enjoy working together, make new friends and enjoy delicious food!
Come and join us for a fun, delicious and informative workshop!
