Raw Vegan Food Preparation Seminars
"Bridging the Gap on the Bridge to Forever"
with Chef Jeff & Nancy Riedesel

OVERVIEW

Jeff and Nancy present a bridge from the Standard American Diet (SAD), which is slowly killing so many Americans, to the Ultimate Heavenly Diet, which we will be eating in Heaven in the company of Heavenly Beings; so why not start now? In their classes they give the attendees an opportunity to hear, see, and taste the alternatives to the SAD and give them reasons to make informed decisions and changes in their lives.

The Riedesel's approach in their cooking schools is very unique to most typical schools of cooked and prepared foods. Their specialty is preparing foods in as natural a state as possible for the greatest health benefits, at the lowest cost, and base it all on the Bible and Spirit of Prophecy. Therefore, they do not teach "cooked" foods per se, but mostly raw, living, dehydrated and sprouted foods and show how easy it is to incorporate more of these into the daily diet. Be advised that they DO NOT teach that we must eat 100% raw foods. They mainly show how to be more creative in adding delicious raw foods into our diets, which nearly all agree will give greater health benefits.

The first night covers general information on the total Vegetarian Diet, highlighting raw foods. The second night focuses on Sprouting, the benefits of it and ways to incorporate the healthy sprout into our everyday diet, presenting simple nutritious lunch ideas and condiments. The third night demonstrates Dehydration, the benefits of it and how to substantially save money while creating a plethora of simple but healthy foods. The fourth night is a wrap up of all information covered plus some of their favorite healthy Desserts. Each night they will speak on the benefits of raw, live and sprouted ways of eating, as they feel this is a major part of the Bridge to Forever, giving life, health and energy to our basically sick and tired lives.

Here are pictures of some of the colorful raw and live foods that we fix and demonstrate in our seminars. Recipes are in our cookbooks. Click a picture to see a larger version.
