I have soo much new stuff to share an teach. I will be creating and teach stuff way way beyond what any other "raw food chefs" are doing. I grantee no one has even thought of doing what I am doing let alone been able to figure out haw to do it. I have been 2 steeps ahead of all the others sense the binning and now I am 2 more steps ahead that is if any one else even thinks of doing what I am about to do. I am literally blowing the doors wide open and raw food will never be the same, just as it has sense Quintessence opened its doors 10 years ago. Fofu (fake raw tofu) - soft breads, Silky custards, Veggie loafs, Veggie breads, eggless Benedict and eggs-less Florentine brunches with Hollandaises Sauce, seven layer pancake and cream cakes, Walnut Banana Bread... And there is more to come!

Heading Home

Well there is much to report from Japan but my computer time here is limited so I will have to catch everyone up once I get home and on my own computer. Just as a teaser though I can tell you I will be reporting on toilets that talk to you, in fact everything talks to you, crass-walks that criss-cross the intersection, train maps that look like spiderwebs, $40 durian, hot sprig baths in hotels built into a mountain side, the bullet train to Kyoto and temples that make make me want to stay for another month.

Was I inspired? Yes. and you will hear all about it.

What did i eat? Well that is also coming so sit tight, 3 more days till ETA

PS did I mention I lost my passport?

Swine flue what to do ----

Well as you may know i am still in Japan but the news about the Pig flue is world wide. my first reaction was of course if wee\ treat animals like this this is what we get back. It's called karma. What we put in is exactly what we get back. nature dose not discriminate. my second reaction was, well --- don't eat pork! i mean dahhh do you really need to eat something so desperately you can't even lay off it when there is a world wide scare about it. I don't believe we get sick by someone breathing on you --- you get sick because your body is trying to get ride of toxic stuff you put into it, i.e. EATING.

As I said though i am in a country where I don't speak the language so i have no information I can understand. Today was the first time i couldd check the Internet in over four days so this was in my email. I would look into it if i were you as I will as soon as i get home on the 30th. It is from my friend 

Kevin Gianni and is a reliable source of quality information. http://renegaderoundtable.com/flu/

Thai market in Tokyo

Today we visited the Thai market for the second time and bought some fresh Durian. It was totsly amazing, likethe durian I have in Thailand, fresh and younger then what we get in NY. It is more firm and sweeter without the pungent smell, the way the Thai people like it. We also bought some spices and herbs for the dinner party to be held on Thursday at Mavie. Among the wonderful guest we will be entertaining Thursday will be a famous Japanese actress Hijiri Kojima. She is well known for being a macro biotic and I am so excited to turn her on to some tasty raw foods. Wish me luck and send some love.

Chemical Used on Crops could Make You Fat

(NaturalNews) Many people who eat organic food and use natural products are trying to avoid pesticides that are linked to cancer and other diseases. Now Japanese researchers say there is another advantage to "going green" and avoiding toxins and chemical additives in the environment. A common pollutant has been found to have a potent effect on gene activity and could be contributing to the obesity epidemic.

According to an article published in the December issue of the journal Bioscience, the chemical tributyltin affects sensitive receptors in the cells of a host of animals, ranging from water fleas to people. What's more, tributyltin has an impact at extremely low levels — a thousand times lower than pollutants that are known to interfere with the sexual development of wildlife species, for example. The chemical is known to be damaging to the liver as well as the nervous and immune systems in mammals . But what has just been recognized is that tributyltin also has powerful effects on the cellular components known as retinoid X receptors (RXRs) in a range of species. That's important because RXRs can move into the nuclei of cells and turn on genes that cause the growth of fat storage cells and regulate whole body metabolism. This raises a disturbing possibility: The pollutant could be harming humans by causing slowed metabolism and weight gain.

raw chef mastery program graduation

So it’s done another Raw Chef Mastery program complete. What a week! Every time I finish one of these intense courses I am exhausted; exhausted but excited.

I am excited because I see yet another bunch of enthusiastic and amazing group of people going out there with new skills talents and passion to share and spread the goodness of raw knowledge and raw foods with the world. As we build our team and community our impact and influence on the word also grows. In these trying and revealing times we need as many team members as possible. That said I want you all to know that upon my return from Japan I plan to run this program again. Not only the Raw Chef Mastery Class but a Home Chef course as well. Keep you r eyes on my event page at www.rawchefdan for details and I will see you in May.
