Cooroy Fusion Festival


One of my big passions, food, combines with my love of supporting locals in the 
Edible Sunshine Coast presentations. 
These 7 presentations kicked off on Saturday with the fantastic 
Cooroy Fusion Festival
What a well crafted and put together event!
I was absolutely delighted to be a presenter and so impressed with the large crowd that drew around as I started to talk and offer some taste tests and inspiration for eating local. It wasn't long before we were surrounded by a sea of enthusiastic locals trying the Custard Apple Coconut Crumble
served with gorgeous Maleny Dairies cream and custard by special guest Meg from Maleny Dairies

And the Haloumi Bread Salad featuring the Sunshine Coast's own award winning haloumi cheese! And not to forget the Macadamia Mustard Potato Salad
It is so wonderful to get that live feedback from your food creations as people co
me up to tell you how much they enjoyed something, to see smiling faces as they happily eat something you designed!

This little girls was soo cute as she munched away on crumble and cream!
The audience also had the fascinating Bede from Maleny Avocado Oil as a special guest pop on the microphone and chat to the audience about his amazing avocado oil and how it is a nutrient booster and how his actually has the highest smoke point of oils at 225 degrees celsius. 


Making it ideal for roasting, baking, stir frying and beautiful in a salad.
And it doesn't just stop there either! Avocado oil is great as a moisturiser and great with essential oil blends!
And did I mention this avocado oil tastes gorgeous?
I used it in the pastry for the Quinoa Pot Pies, it gave the pastry a delicious nutty flavour.

And the highlight of the demonstration for one very lucky lady was the winner of that fantastic prize pack as donated by Sunshine Coast business Nutworks; a special bottle of extra virgin cold pressed Avocado oil personally from Bede!
When I say everybody wanted to win this prize I'm not joking!
Thank you Nutworks!!


I even found my oldest backstage enjoying my salad!


I absolutely loved being a part of the Cooroy Fusion Festival and my girls had an absolute ball as well.
