Raw Food Workshop

Learn how raw food, both savoury and sweet can not only be healthy but totally delicious!

We will make a fabulous 4 course menu and then share the joy of eating together!

Foods are classified as raw if the heating temperature does not exceed 45C, as it does not destroy the enzymes in the food. Whether you are interested in a completely raw diet, want to add a few raw dishes to your meal repertoire or you just want to get to know a different way to be creative with food, this workshop teaches you how to prepare plant based raw dishes that are not only healthy, but totally delicious, and also adaptable to your own taste if required.

Raw cakes and raw desserts foods are generally desserts made from a blend of nuts, seeds, coconut and cacao products, fresh and dried fruit, natural sweeteners such as maple syrup, and plant-based milks such as almond or coconut and spices. You will learn how to make easy raw desserts that don’t involve much thinking in advance as well as the basics of some more advanced cakes that will require more preparation time.

Our menu will include creating fermented cashew cream cheese, raw breads, a raw stir fry, raw chocolate cake, blueberry cheese cake, raw brownies and raw lemon cake.

Ingredients and recipes may vary slightly according to ingredient seasonality and availability.

On this course you will:

• Learn about the benefits of raw food
• Gain an understanding of the 5 pillars of raw food preparation: juicing, blending, spiralizing, sprouting, fermenting.
• Learn the processes for making:
  • Raw soups.
  • Nut and seed cheeses (cashews and sunflower seeds) for savoury dishes, such as quiche, pates and starters.
