I’m not a great raw food chef at all, but some of the tips that Cherie gives in this clip are ones that I think may even improve what I put together.

Now that’s a big compliment to Cherie! Maybe the tips can help you become a wizard in the raw food kitchen.

Take a look…

Cherie is the founder of the Living Light Culinary Institute in Ft. Bragg, CA.

What they do there is completely first class, so I wanted to know what it takes to make a great raw food recipe.

Here’s what Cherie has to say, take a look…

More from the Raw Food Living Light Expo.

Here’s why I think this is one of the best raw food events out there:

Organization: Dan Ladermann and Cherie Soria have this Expo thing nailed. Everything went off as planned and on time. About 2 days into it, I asked Dan if there were any glitches… and he told me that the only thing that he’s had to deal with were happy people and a 5-10 minute delay at one event because there was an audio issue. They run a tight ship and it shows. I couldn’t even begin to organize something this well oiled. I’d ask them to plan an event when we do one!

Quality of Speakers: The speakers are all high class and well known in the field, which makes the experience more than 10X worth the money. (The event for 3 days was just under $200 for 2008.)

Accessibility: Because of the structure of the event and the open cafe area, the speakers are easy to speak to and meet. This is a great way to talk to some of your favorite authors and get to know them. Everyone seems willing to talk. I also met a bunch of great RHTV fans! (Thanks Yo, Joy, Marina, Mary, Petra, Dorothy, Shea, Stephen, Marie, Terri, Barbara, Bob, Diane, Scott, Stacy, Grant, Alan, Ron, Annie, Dana, Matty, Sarah and everyone else… I tried to remember all the names, but it’s 11:54 PST right now and I’m a little foggy!)

Location: Ft. Bragg a great setting for this event. It’s small, quaint and there’s access to awesome beach cliffs and state parks for hiking and running. When you go, be sure to book a few extra days to explore the area!

Great Food: The Living Light Cafe has food available (for purchase) that is vegan and raw. It’s also awesome. You can get desserts, snacks, smoothies, juices and anything else as well. We had most of our meals here to not only get the great food, but hang out in the “courtyard” and talk to everyone! There’s also an amazing restaurant just 10-15 minutes south called “The Ravens”. It has vegan and raw options… it’s super expensive, but 100% worth the money!

Great Crowd: The people who attended were down to earth and just a blast to be around. It’s really a friendly and exciting environment. Everyone was smiling… and if they weren’t chances are they were locals, not event attendees!

So… what does all this mean? Consider experiencing it for yourself… we are going again next year! I told Dan I wanted to buy my tickets for 2009 before I left!

Oh yeah… the show… Enjoy!

Annmarie and I just finished up an amazing weekend at the Vibrant Living Expo. This seriously is the premier event in the raw food world.

Right now, we have to leave for Sacramento before it gets too late here in Ft. Bragg, so I can’t write too much about it here, but…

I will later on in the week to give you an idea of just how awesome this event is (and why you should go next year…)
