Vera clearly put a LOT of love, thought and intention into her design, which you can see in the picture here and read about in the description below. ![]() THANKS Vera, for sharing your ideas and thanks indeed to all of you who sent your designs in. Vera's yummy pr-ize is winging its way to her right now, just in time for the Holidays ;) ENJOY :) ...and may your OWN kitchen be brimming with yummy raw delights this yuletide... Vera's explanation of her design: "In my design we have a large pantry utilizing the left corner space. From here we move clockwise, to the refrigerator. When you remove produce from the fridge the counter on the right is conveniently located for assembling ingredients. Continuing in the clockwork motion we move to the sink for washing the produce. From here we move to the prep area. The dehydrator is in the corner. I am showing an optional dehydrator location in the storage on the left of the computer station, which takes care of the mu-sic, a must in the raw food kitchen! The benefit of an enclosed dehydrator is the reduction of noise. If your kitchen is open to dining ro0m or living ro0m, you would surely be annoyed by its 24/7 hum. I have checked with Excalibur (dehydrator company) and it is fine to have the dehydrator in the closet so long as you provide enough space around and above it for ventilation. On the right of the prep area is another sink. This one is specifically for sprouting and growing wheat grass, etc. On the left of the sink is dish rack with sprouting jars. On the right, in front of a tall window, is a tall stand with shelves, where you can place all your trays for maximum sun exposure. This sink has a spray, which will make it convenient to water all the greenery right where it is. One day I will design a screen/strainer plug, that would allow you to rinse the sprouts without clogging your pipes with sprouts and seeds. Ideally this sink will drain right into your gar-den instead of the sewer. In the middle of the kitchen is kitchen isl@nd with bulk food storage below. This design not only makes a raw food prep easy and convenient, it is an ideal situation for teaching raw food classes in your home" ---------------------- The '15 for 15' Sale This sale is currently still on at the RawReform Store, where you can get 15 of our yummiest items at 15% off click HERE

WOW this woman is AMAZING :) She is PASSSssSssSSsSssionate about feeding kids healthy food and she is making a HUGE impact on the way schools feed children in the Berkeley area. She has brought in salad bars,
real cooking, organic growing, composting, local food sourcing and so
much more to the schools she works in...she has SO much info to share
in this video Id really recommend it...it might not be an allraw
menu ;) it is a MAJOR improvement though on what most kids seem to eat...You can see the 20minute video HERE. *Andrew Michell on GoogleVids. Andrew was imprisoned in solitary confinement at the age of 16 in the US, for a trail of crimes hed committed ranging from thefts to vandalism to burglaries to kidnappings. He was in solitary confinement for 2 YEARS
and then continued to pass another 8 years after that in prison.
During all that time in prison, he did everything he could in the way
of selfdevelopment, including fasting, courses, reading, praying etc. In fact, he states that those 2 years in solitary confinement were the BEST 2 years of his life, as he learnt SO much.Now he's spreading his message of AMAZING recovery from his vi0lent, criminal, painful, destructive past into a life of raw food, selfdiscovery and PASSION to share this message. I found his presentation on Google Vids very endearing he clearly has SO much genuine drive and desire to share this info. It seems he put a lot of love, energy and work into this. There are 3 parts to his presentation and it comes to around 49 minutes or so in length. I have a LOT of enthusiasm for getting raw foods into prison systems and Andrew's story inspires me greatly on that mission ;) Check out Andrews videos here: Part 1: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7355688049763149472&hl=en Part 2: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6977856949224265303&hl=en Part 3: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7136582618064145495&hl=en ------------------------ HAPPY HOLIDAYS beautiful people...may your days be merry and bright and may all your raw dishes delight ;) All love, Angela. x x x ---------------------------------------- RawReform - The Natural Way to Weight Loss http://www.rawreform.com This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it Online Store: http://www.rawreform.com/store Blog: http://rawreform.blogspot.com ------------------------------------------ |
