Transitioning to Raw Vegan Foods
with
Melba Thorn

This six week series is designed to help you transition in part or whole to a raw foods diet or just learn how to make delicious foods without cooking. The creativity in raw foods comes from marinating, blending, slicing  and drying at low temperatures. These processes preserve the natural great taste and integrity of the food and allow the natural active enzymes to survive.

 

Most people that have added more raw foods to their diet experience a higher energy level, easier digestion, elevated mood and improved feeling of well being.

 

Because raw food preparation requires no stoves or minimal fossil fuels, it’s very eco-friendly.  Raw foods are best prepared using fresh local produce in season.

 

Although some raw food workshops include raw fish and meat, this series focuses on 100% plant based recipes.

 

Transitioning to Raw Vegan Foods.  Each session is stand-alone.  Take one or more or get a discount for the whole series of six:

 

July 17                Raw Entrees Made Without a Dehydrator
 

August 21           Raw Take Along Snacks for Trail Blazing and Gifting
 

September 18     Raw Elegant desserts

 

Each of these classes will be 90 minutes long. This includes demonstration, Q&A, sample tasting for attendees and printed recipes to take home.
