CATERING WITH FOOD AND DRINKS

Those of you who came to my 50th birthday party will no doubt have eaten some of the food and had one of the pedal-powered cocktails. It was pure chance that I happened to come across James who did the drinks and Jarrod who did the food, via Wilson's Organics. Each of these blokes did such a great job on the night that I thought I would give them a bit of free advertising here, in the hope that others may decide to employ them in the future.

PEDAL-POWERED PRODUCTS
James can be seen at markets, schools and outdoor events all over Adelaide, making fruit smoothies with the best-tasting local, organic fruits,and  Paris Creek milk and yoghurt. He has a pedal-powered blender on an exercise bike that makes the whole thing such fun and very green. He also now does cocktails at corporate   and private functions, like at my party.

First James arrives early to set up the bike, begins juicing the fruits and unpacking the alcohol.....Next either he or party-goers pedal the bike to blend the fruits and juices.....lastly James uses his wonderful recipes to add the alcohols to ensure that every cocktail is perfect . He uses organic and local fruits wherever possible and, at my party, worked tirelessly the whole night, concocting delicious drinks for everyone, including plenty of non-alcoholic ones too.

imageJarrod's selection of finger food was  fantastic and he is a great bloke to work with, making lots of helpful  suggestions and providing everything  freshly made by himself. I highly recommend him for any catering job. This photo of the mushrooms stuffed with pesto was the only one that was taken of the food, unfortunately.

Kate, the more I rea about your party, the more I wish I could have been there. Sadly, being on the other side of the world did prove a slight imconvenience!!!
All this food looks and sounds wonderful.

Peddle powered smoothie maker, we should all have one.
What a wonderful catering list, so good to see a vegetarian menu, there are not enough veggo cafes in Adelaide. In fact I can only think of 2. Remember when clearlight was down stairs in Rundle Street, it was so quiet, like entering another world. Oh, Bliss off Gouger Street is good, lovely soups.
And Doof Doof has some good veggie dishes and wood fired pizza now.
I think I had best go have breakfast, this typing is making me hungry!

Maggie, a few months ago I was walking along Rundle Street and was, as always, hungry. I saw a new 'Clearlight' sign and down the steps I went. At that time they only had take away things like spinach pies and soup but the bloke told me they were setting it all up as a cafe again...so by now it could be going. Someone needs to go and have a look and report back!

Okay I volunteer, we often go to Rundle Street for a big night out, park the car at the end of Hutt Street, after 5 its free parking, pizza at Amalfi's or Scuzzi, check out Mary Martin's book shop, you can be home by 7:00pm
