Raw Vegan Cooking Seminar 15-17 July 2011

At the introductory course you will learn the basic principles of “apyro” diet and raw cuisine. You will learn methods of preparation and cooking of raw food recipes, and you will put this new knowledge into practice. The seminar is open to anyone interested in creating healthy, delicious dishes with live foods. Learn about the benefits of raw vegan diet and how raw cuisine can be easily incorporated into your daily life. Learn smart tips and delicious recipes that nourish body and soul. In this tutorial you will learn how to make milk from nuts and seeds, green juices, smoothies, milkshakes using raw organic products and superfoods.

Often when we hear about raw food the only thing that comes to our mind is lettuce leaves and carrots. In this seminar you will learn how to prepare meals that are fulfilling and good for our health. Learn how to create new textures and flavors, how to make a full meal salad and how to create delicious main dishes that give your body what it needs. Forget about eggs, the dreaded milk, gelatin and refined white sugar. The desserts will never be the same again. Learn how to prepare sweet creations using pure vegetable raw materials and satisfy your craving for sweet foods to which your body will be grateful.

The seminar will be presented by the raw food chef coach Veronica Timofeeva-Vlachaki.
