Canberra Workshop – May 2010

Hi Alison,

Lots of gratitude for Joy and yourself for organising the workshop. No matter how much you read about Raw and think you can do it, it’s nowhere near the same as seeing it being done in front of you. I thought the workshop was very informative and practical, it showed us how quick and easy it can be to whip up some raw treats. And because of that, I went out the very next day and bought the exact same cafe series blender and started making green smoothies, the raw cheese and soups. Have been doing it every day since and am already up and running with my raw lifestyle transformation! So thanks guys!

Hopefully we can get some potlucks going and look forward to meeting you again. I’m just at ANU most days so let me know when you are free and I can come by the food co-op.

Catch up soon, Hiranthi

Home workshops.

Hi Joy - Just wanted to thank you again for Saturday's workshop which both Sylvie and I enjoyed immensely and learned so much, we loved your down to earth and especially warm style and approach to teaching.  We've both started implementing some things we learned that day!! I can't wait to go home tonight to make a green smoothie!! :)
To anyone that reads this I strongly recommend Joy's workshops.....I still can't believe what enormous efforts Joy makes....had so much fun, learnt so much and Joy was so warm so kind and such a wonderful, wonderful lady!!   Julienne 

 Of course you can use my testimonial...I meant every word of it!! As far as I'm concerned I'm happy to make a permanent monthly booking with you....there's so much to learn and I've tried everything...nothing works or worked like that Saturday afternoon with you....it was so effortless, fun and absolutely delicious...it was then it dawned on me that yes you can be totally raw and vegan and not feel like your missing out on the contrary....I found the food so delicious.

Dinner testimonials

Thank you for a great nutritious night last Saturday. I was glad to be able to go somewhere healthy for my birthday! Thanks for organising a great night.   Marilyn

My main feedback is that I am used to a more 80:10:10 version of eating so the extra fats were a bit heavy, but on the whole that and the hungry belly on arrival could be managed in future by having plenty of sliced fruit to nibble on as people arrive. That would have stopped me pigging out on the yummy sunflower pate to fill my belly. Without the extra pate you offered I would have been a bit hungry but some fruit to start would stop that.
Looking forward to the next raw food dinner.    Jayatma

Hello Joy - I really enjoyed the dinner, thank you. I especially liked the flat roll up things, the white nut cheese and dessert and would love to know how to make them. ! It was lovely to see you again joy and I thought you did very well considering so many people were there!
Warmest regards Simone

Enjoyed the night, agreed could have had nibbles, but for 40 dollars did not really expect any extras, so roll ups etc. given out during the night were good, my feedback is I feel the mains were too similar , as believe most couples would have ordered different items, would have been nice for a bigger contrast between the two.   Bryan 

Dehydrator workshop feedback

Truly enjoyed your workshop. Every recipe was simple, healthy, delicious and most versatile. Thank you also for the bonus notes on sprouting. You are most kind and generous.
 Godspeed!   Maureen x

Hi Joy - thanks for the great class that was centered just on the use of raw foods in a dehydrator , the class showed me how to prepare very tasty combinations of raw food items that will make it so much easier for me to stay on the raw food lifestyle.  Cheers Bryan Lee

Thanks for the great workshop on raw and dehydrated food preparation.   You made it look so simple and I have been inspired to do my own dehydrating now.  It's fun!  My husband loves the mushroom nut balls!   Julia 

Vegan Expo

Hi Joy
Thank you.  It was a lot of effort but so worth it.  I went to the Voiceless animal law lecture last night and ran in to Zarah who was a volunteer at the expo.  She was talking about the highlight of her day being your demo - she has ordered a dehydrator and she can't wait to get started.  Now that's rewarding ;-)

Best wishes
Sarah

Hi Joy, thanks for your email. Yes it was a great day yesterday. I especially enjoyed your workshop. I have been a bit reluctant to purchase a dehydrator for some time, but your demonstration definitely changed my mind! Thanks, Zarah

Hi there, firstly, I saw you at the Vegan expo and I must say, I never thought raw food could be so versatile. I looked into a raw food diet when I was in my teens but there were not a lot of resources around in those days. Anyway, you have inspired me to give it an honest attempt once again and I thank you. 
PS I am interested in attending a raw food dinner but the one in Sydney west is on 30 may when I will be overseas.  Could you please advise of the next one and add me to your mailing list. I am also interested in your raw food lessons and workshops.
Thanks again.  Yvette
