A Gourmet Foods Class from a True Expert

[Guest guest]

I thought you'd like to read an e-mail I received about Chef Jackie Graff:

I wanted to let everyone know what a wonderful experience I had

recently, learning from Jackie Graff at a raw foods class that Owen and I

went to in Atlanta just before Thanksgiving. In the class, Jackie presented

raw food recipes for a Thanksgiving Feast.

 

It was fantastic! For the typical raw food substitute for turkey, she

created nutloaf " Noasted Nurkey, " ringed with a sprouted wild rice

dressing. She also converted many other traditional dishes to gourmet

raw, including mushroom gravy, squash casserole, cranberry orange

sauce and sweet potato casserole. We truly had a feast!

 

The reason I'm writing is because all the recipes are really good!

Last Christmas, I threw away some recipes I made because they were

just awful, even though they were from recognized chefs. I was so

excited to find the really good food that was beautifully presented at

Jackie's class! All of her dishes were highly impressive, no doubt

because of her extensive background. Many years ago, she was a gourmet

chef who then became a gourmet vegetarian chef and later on a gourmet

raw foods chef. Each time she moved on to a new cuisine, she

translated her skills and experience in the art and science of food

preparation.

 

As you may know, when Owen and I started on raw foods we trained for 10

full days at the Living Foods Institute in Atlanta, where we learned

many gourmet recipes and how to prepare and present them. We have also

eaten at many raw food restaurants in Atlanta and New York City. So.

when I say this is really good food you can believe it, because I have

tasted a lot of chefs' creations by comparison.

 

Jackie Graff will be teaching right here in Sarasota this weekend, so

anyone here can easily and conveniently learn from this outstanding

leader in the raw foods movement. You don't want to miss this

opportunity to taste truly gourmet raw food and increase your own

culinary skills!
