New restaurant gets creative with raw food

Downers Grove, IL –

 

After three days without eating any cooked food, Kathy and Danny

Living said they felt great.

 

The Naperville couple continued their special diet for another day,

then a week. By the end of 30 days, they decided never to go back,

and became dedicated to the raw lifestyle, eating nothing that has

been cooked above 115 degrees and going without processed foods like

sugar, wheat or rice.

 

Since their lifestyle change, the Livings have been coming up with

new ways to prepare old recipes, many of which will be available to

try at their new restaurant, Borrowed Earth Cafe, which opens in

Downers Grove Wednesday.

 

“Man originally didn’t cook food,” Danny Living said. “When food is

cooked beyond 115 degrees, a lot of the nutrients are cooked out.

Like olive oil in its original state is very healthy for the body,

but when it’s cooked, the body doesn’t receive it as well and it gets

stored as fat.”
