*No information on this website is intended to treat, diagnose or cure any dis-ease (we can't even cure ham). Be advised that a process of detox may begin when you embark on a 100% raw vegan diet or ingest highly nutritious foods and herbs. These "symptoms" can occur to varying degrees and we advise you to research detox symptoms fully before assuming you are not tolerating certain foods or herbs well.
Your Private Raw Chef
I am a self trained intuitive chef who has spent many years considering the kitchen my laboratory. Working for 20 odd (funny and ha ha) years in fine dining establishments I picked up a lot of kitchen tips and tricks which translated nicely to raw culinary ideas when I took to inventing my new wheel. Living in Alaska, there were ZERO options for gourmet raw meals or even snacks except for online when I first started. Armed with my creativity and intuition I am able to create amazingly delicious and nutritious meals that nourish your entire being because I have to keep myself entertained to thrive happily. Salads and juice are great, but we all get bored with the same old thing all the time. I also recognize that not everyone has the time commitment it takes to do artwork in the kitchen, and sometimes it's just nice to have someone else make you a meal. With no raw restaurants in Anchorage (until I open mine--SOON) this is a unique service and requires your understanding that ingredients are spendy and the creative process is time consuming. There is not a lot of filler in my food like you will find in restaurants, even the nice ones in bigger cities. I don't use "designer" ingredients like nama shoyu which are not raw. All my meals are 100% raw vegan, dairy/gluten/wheat/sugar free. I do not have a set menu you can select from. I sit with my client and talk about what their favorite foods are, what kind of cravings they will be dealing with, any allergies they may have and talk about options for a package that will satisfy you. Minimum order is $150 with about $50 being devoted just to ingredients. A small order like this can include 2 entrees, 2 snacks, 2 desserts, or just desserts, just snacks or just entrees...that is why we sit and talk! Each entree feeds 2-4 and a package like this can last around a week if you supplement with your own salads, smoothies, juices and superfoods!
Until I open my own business I cannot operate out of a commercial kitchen because of cross contamination issues, which means I cannot cater for your event...but you can order my services and cater your own event. There are no chemical or animal products used in my kitchen so there is NO risk of food contamination in my kitchen. I use only bio-degradable chemical-free cleaning supplies, organic whenever possible, recycled and compostable packaging to take your goodies home in.

Living Food "uncooking" demonstrations and consultations
I offer intuitive kitchen instruction, tips and ideas for simple (and complicated!) recipes. In advance of the session you will give me an idea of what you want to learn to make, I will give you a list of ingredients to purchase (or I can purchase them for you if you find this too daunting and you will reimburse the cost) then we will make it together and you will take home what we make. This service is $25 an hour (minimum 2 hours) or I can come to your kitchen for $50 an hour.
If you just have a list of questions about the raw food diet and where to begin with your specific issues, I offer consultations at the rate of $25 an hour. There is no minimum for this service.
I also offer guided wood foraging for $25 an hour. This is probably more exciting in the summer, but fall is a great time for mushrooms and even through winter we can find the highly prized medicinal tree mushrooms readily available. It's also wonderful for your soul and spirit to get out in the open air, connect with nature, and learn an exciting skill to add to your toolbox at the same time!
