	The KZN Good Food and Wine Show took place in Durban from the 28th through until the 31st July and was a great success. Jodi-Ann represented The Food Design Agency in all of the major theatres. On Thursday the 28th Jodi-Ann demonstrated two of her favourite dishes risotto-style barley served with seared scallops and a gorgeous citrus soufflé with white chocolate ganache. Jodi-Ann, together with Fry's Vegetarian and MIC Decocraft (who supplied all our gorgeous OE) demonstrated on the health and wellness stand show casing just how easy it is to make delicious vegetarian dishes that are quick and any meat eater would be desperate to devour. The hit of the stand was most certainly the baby butter curry bunny chow's. Try them out! A definite highlight of the show came on Sunday where I had the opportunity to run a BBC LIFESTYLE hands on cookery class with Alvin from MasterChef Australia. Yes girls and boys, he is most certainly as sweet and kind in real life as he is on television! We had a huge crowd and had a wonderful time social networking whilst cooking! We produced a gorgeous Korean fish curry and very sexy almond meringue roulade with lemon cream and berries. Download Good Food & Wine Show Recipes.



	On the weekend of the 7th August Jodi-Ann was once again showcasing her talents in the halls of Decorex. Decorex was held at The Gallagher Convention centre. Jodi-Ann took a very holistic approach by locally sourcing all of her ingredients and demonstrating not only the skill of preparing fabulous food but also the art of table topping for various occasions utilising fabulous Maxwell & Williams crockery, cutlery and glassware. Jodi-Ann was joined by KAYA fm DJ's who added a great sense of fun and excitement to the demonstrations. She demonstrated sexy soups in the form of pot-au-feur and cauliflower, truffle and blue cheese soup with rustic buttered croutons in the first demonstration. Her second demonstration showcased very trendy and modern plating skills. The dishes were a tasting plate of beet and beef and a deconstructed panzanella salad. Jodi-Ann then showcased potato dishes demonstrating to a packed hall 2 the importance of utilising the correct potato for the correct application. The fourth demonstration of the day was certainly a decadent one were Jodi-Ann put together a high tea suitable for a queen!
