Raw Food Class

Hello Raw Food Community,

I just wanted to let you all know about a great raw food class I
attended over the weekend. This isn't meant to be an advertisement,
but I felt that it would be a good idea to share what a great
experience I had in case there were others who feel they might benefit
as well.

The class was a Living on Live Food class taught by Cherie who lives
in Olympia. It only took me 40 min. to get there from Seattle, even in
questionable weather.

I've been raw for about 2 years and don't consider myself to be a
beginner in raw food preparation (in fact I have paid to do it for
someone else), and I didn't know what to expect from this class. I had
no idea how helpful and fun it would be for me. I left feeling
inspired, nurtured and like I had just given myself a big present.

Cherie's class was professional but also intimate and relaxed. I took
the first level class and although this class would be an excellent
resource for people new to raw, it was also very beneficial for
someone like me who as been raw for several years. Well worth the
investment. I really appreciated Cheri's efficient but gentle
demeanor. She was knowledgeable and also very personable and generous.
Very easy to converse with and great at answering all my questions.
AND, (a point not to be underestimated), all the food was without
exception, excellent.

Here is a link to her web page for anyone who might be looking for
this kind of experience.

Your class opened up many doors for me in the area of preparing raw food dishes. I now feel ready to take my vita-mix and dehydrator out of the box to make these tasty dishes. I appreciated you sharing different ways to modify the recipes made in class to suite my food preferences and lifestyle. I enjoyed your candid sharing of your story on how and why you decided on a raw food diet.

Now I have a better understanding of how to prepare other recipes I come across.  One of the most difficult things when beginning a raw food diet is knowing what to prepare so that you don't get bored and this was a good class to introduce not only new recipes, but new ways of thinking about making recipes.

Hi Cherie,

I really enjoyed the class. It was everything I expected and then some.

Hi, Cherie

What a great class!  My husband and I polished off the leftovers here at home.  He was blown away!  I stopped by the co op and got ingredients for the Spagetti, the Pad Thai, and the Torte.  Tomorrow morning I hope to use my food processor to make the torte for my company.  Thanks again for everything, Cherie, it was great!

I really liked the good food and the excellent way that Cherie presented all info on raw foods! She's such a good teacher I'd like to learn more from her!
