TESTIMONIALS
"Taking part in The Raw Chef Certification with Sunita was fun, exciting & full of new experiences. It was inspiring for a stay at home mum like me with 3 young kids.
Learning foundational lessons like food preparation, mis en place and organizing was very useful.
We made new and tried recipes, which were healthy but also delicious and kid friendly.
Learning with Sunita helped me to think of alternative ways to incorporate raw food into our weekly meals and think about what I would need to prepare in advance and have ready.
I was also able to mix raw food dishes with our family favorites and now some of the raw food dishes are now some of our family favorites like the marinara sauce, nut pates, zucchini hummus, chia seed porridge, kale salads, green smoothies, various chocolate nut milks and the chocolate mousse!
Even on busy days or times I have not been able to soak or pre prepare I could still make zucchini noodles to go with our bolognese sauce instead of pasta & be creative with our salad ingredients.
Sunita is lovely, friendly, talented, engaging and full of information!
It was a blessing to be able to do this course with her."
