Guest guest Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 The Sweet Raw Truth by Rod Weatherbie April 25, 2008 at 4:05 pm The raw food diet isn’t yet very wide spread in Toronto. There are only a handful of restaurants and chefs here catering to this diet/ philosophy. But the appeal of this seemingly restrictive way of eating may increase with the infusion of gourmet raw cuisine into the city’s dining scene, particularly at the sweet end of the spectrum. Raw food culinary artist Jessica Acs is hoping that the appeal of flavour and excitement will lead folks to try a healthy alternative to traditional cooking. Jessica, born in Toronto, trained at a culinary school in Northern California specializing in raw vegan cuisine. She started off vegetarian and gave veganism a chance while she was there. “It was the right environment. It’s easier when you are surrounded by other people doing it. And it’s pretty mainstream in California.” The raw food movement immediately appealed to her. “I fell in love with it. I thought it was beautiful. It’s exciting to be a part of something that makes you feel really good and be dedicated to it. “But I came back to Toronto, because I love this city and I wanted to bring something back that wasn’t so mainstream here.” Full story: http://www.tasteto.com/2008/04/25/the-sweet-raw-truth/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
