The Raw Chef

Alissa Cohen on Tyra Banks' Diet Wars

When I met Alissa in November she was really excited about going back on Tyra Banks' show because of the results one of her 'team' was getting for the Diet Wars feature.

Lasagne Recipe

Ok, so I've received quite a few emails asking for this recipe since putting the photo on my flickr account. I really love this dish, it's great to take to potlucks or give to your non-raw friends and doesn't need any expensive kitchen equipment other than a knife, a chopping board and an inexpensive food processor.  A mandoline would be an advantage, and is also very cheap in terms of kitchen equipment.

Welcome to 2007

Hello and a happy new year to all.  I trust I find you well, having had a great Christmas and looking forward to the year ahead.

I'm really excited about 2007 as I've got lots of great stuff coming up that is sure to further our mission to raise awareness of raw food in the UK mainstream.

Next week I'm off to Lanzarote for 2 weeks to consult for Living Earth at their Winter Sun Retreats.  If you want to start your year in the best possible way, with some sun, pure raw food, chlorine free swimming pools, ionized water, yoga and much more then check out the brochure.  I'm excited to be working with James & Anna, they will commission the planting of a new tree for every guest that flies to the retreat, as a way to compensate the earth.  If only all businesses were this concious.

As you may remember from a previous blog post, I ran the kitchen at Alissa Cohen's course at the end of last year and have just been forwarded this photo. I'm on the left (if you hadn't noticed!), next to me is Abby, and next to her is Ferd.  Both were invaluable in the kitchen and made the weekend so enjoyable.  Behind us you can see Alissa, and Elaine, who is Alissa's course co-ordinator and who's understanding of human behaviour and ability to read energy was amazing.
