Rawktail Party!

This location is shown only to members

Greetings, Raw Sarasota!

We have another great event coming up June 12th from 6-9 p.m.

My famous raw author & chef friend Ani Phyo is coming to visit me from Los Angeles & we're doing a RAWKTAIL party at the beautiful, historic Weller Estate at 5030 Bay Shore Road.
(It's important to note it's the Bay Shore (two words) not one word. They're two different streets!)

Ani & I will demo three fresh recipes for summer that everyone will get to sample. And Ani will have her books available to sell & sign. Will be a lot of fun! Dress code is Rock Star!

There's a $20/pp charge.

Check Ani out here:

We will be filming the event.

And there will be a massage therapist on-hand giving free five-minute massages, too!

Map for Location
5030 Bay Shore Road
Sarasota, FL 34234

Hope to see you there!

    I think everyone should come to this meetup. Ani is one of the leaders in the Raw movement (along with Jenna of course)... So no excuses for missing this one.

    I love the Meatless Taco's! I would love for Ani and Jenna to possibly do another show in a auditorium where we all might sit, so we can take note. Waiting for the upload of those wonderful recipes! :0)

    The event was truly exceptional! I had a great time and hope that I wasn't a bit too extreme in my "Rock Star Persona."

    Ani and Jenna did a wonderful job pulling this together.

    Looking forward to the next one...

    This was one I really wanted to attend. However, after working outside in teh morning, then attending a party for my granddaughter's graduation that ended up outside in an open pavillion mid-afternoon, there was no way I could do anymore events outside. I was heat saturated and still am. Good to hear the great comments and sorry I didn't make it.

    Awesome event! Great crowd! Delicious food. Was wonderful to have Ani in Sarasota for the first time to demonstrate her recipes.
  • Rhonda D.
    I thought Jenna & Ani did a Wonderful job with the entire event. I thank you both for you hard work. It was a little hard to hear when you both were trying to talk and prepare the food, but with such a large turn out! who would have known. It was nice to finally meet Ani Phyo from LA. Seeing that any major Raw event seems to be in CA. I will be looking forward to the next event. Oh! everyone there was so nice. P.S. Thanks to the host for opening up his home. Rhonda D

    This was my first RAW Sarasota event. What a wonderful treat to meet Ani Phyo and other RAW foodies! Everyone was friendly, and the venue was lovely- although perhaps not the ideal setup for this type of demo (and the number of people). Unless one was right in front of the table, it was impossible to see and difficult to hear. I might suggest rows of folding chairs for this type of demo/location. Also, I'm not familiar with Sarasota, but many communities have a demo/teaching kitchen somewhere (you know, the kind with the mirror above the prep surface for the audience to see what's going on)- either through IFAS/Ag extenstion, local high school or tech school, upscale kitchen appliance showrooms, Whole Foods, etc. That may be an option should there be future events with such a great turnout and so many people! : )

    I thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere, the food and the folks at this meetup. It was quite the social event! Thank you Jenna for putting together such a dynamic party! You were marvelous, darling.....Madonna
  • mark rieke

  • peter
    yeah, great energy and people event. thanks jenna and ani. could have been even more phenomenal in a more comfortable setting.....cooler......more places to sit.....microphone.....what would it take to have more of these?
  • Anitra Williams-Fritz
    The food was totally terrific but it was extremely hot in the house with no air,I ended up looking like I had jumped in the pool by the end of the night! I met some really wonderful people and learned more about Raw Foods! Ani and Jenna are just two peas in a pod and really showed everyone a totally terrific time! It truly was like hanging out with friends you might have known for a long time although most of us had only just met. Anitra

    I always enjoy Jenna's events. I know it was a lot of work to prepare all that food for so many people, and it was delicious. I also enjoyed the lovely venue. I just wish someone had thought of a microphone. It was impossible to see or HEAR anything that Ani was saying, and the guests were talking at the same time which made it worse (probably because they gave up trying to hear.) I missed a valuable part of the program because of this. I hope you will do it again with a stage and sound equipment.

    The night was fantastic and I'm so glad I met Ani and bought her newest book. I rarely have 30 mins to take a lunch while at work so Im always on the go and just breezing though her book last night made it obvious to me that I can put many of these together real quick in the morning for breakfast and lunch. Thanks again Jenna for putting such a great event together.
  • Steve
    Jen & Ani are a great team! Thx for the hard work!
  • Cindy Hannon
