Friday Feast: a collaboration with Welcome Dose specialty coffee
Friday September 14th
6:30pm
Welcome Dose, the Cannery Rosebery
Friday Feast is what happens when great coffee, great food and great people collide. A collaboration between Welcome Dose Specialty Coffee Roasters and Hara Wholefoods, this multi-course plant based feast is inspired by coffee from the Kagongo co-operative in Kenya and promises to be a little special.
It's not often that a barista/coffee taster/caterer creates a menu inspired by coffee, or that a coffee roaster/bar legend/hostwiththemost will curate the drinks for that menu. Join us in celebrating the uniqueness of particular coffees, expressed through food drink and good times in the gorgeous warehouse space that is Welcome Dose.
Ticket options include 4 course meal only, with option to include matched wines or matched non-alcoholic beverages. All food is plant based, any other dietary requirements please mention when booking.

Ooooby Eats feat. Kurrawong Organics
At Hara Wholefoods, we are truly passionate about about honouring where our food comes from, incredible produce and all things food fairness. We've been huge fans of Ooooby for years, and are so excited to be collaborating on the seasonal celebration that is "Ooooby Eats".
On July 1st we celebrated winter's offerings with a multi-course dinner held at Rolling Penny cafe, cocktails by the ever impressive Trolley'd, and live music and great vibes by Tiago De Lucca. Such a joy to create a menu highlighting the incredible produce from Kurrawong Organics, one of Ooooby's inspirational producers, and even better to have multi-generational farmers Lesley and Tobias in attendance! It's not often we have the chance to share a meal with those who grew it, and this connectivity to our food source resonates deeply. Incredible evening, incredible feedback, and cannot wait for the Spring edition.

Jadon & Alyssa's wedding
With a delayed landing due to extreme weather, it seemed that Byron wasn't ready to deliver the tropical paradise i was looking forward to. Luckily I'd arrived a day early, when the skies were determined to shed their heavy rains prior to the actual wedding day. Time on my side for once, this was a dreamy catering job featuring sunrise coffees and pies on the beach before diving into the kitchen for the day. With an eye for the truly beautiful and unique (unsurprising considering their incredible retail space www.youearthme.com ) Alyssa and Jadon scoured the hidden corners of Sydney for crystal servingware and allowed total freedom with the menu. 40 close friends and family, backyard oasis and a cheeky fireworks show by the ocean... dreamy.
Menu
~ Sweet potato noodle, cashew miso, coriander mint lime
~ Spiced chickpea, pickled beansprout, tamari chilli cashew, tortilla
~ Pumpkin, turmeric kraut, sesame
~ Coconut, cabbage, lime
~ Fennel, mandarin, rocket, mint

Kat & Sian's Wedding
Early 2018 I received a call from a close friend. She had news. She was getting married. And wanted to know if i'd be interested in catering. A celebration of all things love, this was definitely an occasion of authenticity and generosity and i am to this day still humbled by the trust and support.
100 people, gluten free except for a side table of Brickfields bread, and of course, all plant based.

The Ding Hay Do: an English countryside wedding
Of all the feasts I've ever been involved with, this one was incredibly special. Not only was it a completely family and friends built wedding held in the groom's family barn in the English countryside.... but it was my sister's wedding. An absolute honour to contribute in the smallest of ways; whilst organising salads for 100 people on the other side of the world sounds daunting, in reality i just had to rock up and execute on the day. Many spreadsheets were made, and on the evening after the official marriage and before the ceremony our united families peeled, grated, chopped and drank G&T's in the greenhouse. A pure labour of love, with an army of willing helpers and a pizza van to boot, this proved the possibility of large scale nourishment and joy.
Menu
~ Tomato, pomegranite, capsicum
~ Citrus, chickpea, carrot, mustard greens
~ Snowpea, medly of herb, mixed leaf
~ Stonefruit, red cabbage, corn, lime
