I went to the Raw Spirit event at Raw Vegan Source this weekend and got to see some very famous chefs do their thing. Very inspiring. They are all so youthful and energetic and focused. The recipes were sometimes too complex, but the flavours were awesome.
I really enjoyed seeing & speaking with Christian Bates (wildbar.info) His take on the glycemic index is spot on and he was so approachable for a semi-private discussion - kind of like a cocktail party atmosphere. Great fun!! I recommend checking out his sites.
Elaina Love is a genius! Taking the very familiar spices of my favorite Indian, Mexican, & Asian foods and turning them into raw delicacies. Bless her beautiful heart for making these accessible.
I dined on a raw chili and gorgeous raw chocolate mouse pie by Laurel Anderson of The Good Life Raw Foods. So rich. So good! Would gladly choose her foods over anything I can find at the local gourmet restaurants and never begin to think I was "missing" something. Her work is divine.
Sadly, I couldn't stay to hear Kevin and Annemarie Gianni. I am sure they were as delightful as always.
Much thanks to Tom & Susan Armstrong for opening their home & hearts to this community and anyone interested. It is truly a blessing to be included.
An interesting note about the raw food community of eastside Seattle: everyone looks into your eyes when they talk to you....
