Fiesta of Flavor RECIPES - Demo & Tasting:
Are you in a raw food rut lately?
You can turn your Cuisinart and just a few additions of herbs & veggies to a basic pate into a "Taste Bud Ticket" around the world!

Debra Secunda of http://www.rawfooddvds.com

will show you how to take a quick and easy basic batch of seed or nut pate and transform it into a variety of delicious entrees to enjoy throughout the week.

Here's a way to incorporate our healthy greens and sprouts and still enjoy that comfort food satisfaction: You can go Mexican, Italian, Japanese, Indian, and a visit to the Middle East in just minutes. Debra will offer recipe handouts and kitchen tips to stock your cabinets with the essentials to make your life easier and mealtime yummier!

You'll also enjoy a short presentation of excerpts from her new DVD, "Green Recipes for Health & Weight Loss", featuring Entrees such as "Nirvana Nut Loaf", Cauliflower Mash, and more.

For your pasta "fix", Debra will prepare & serve an easy to make nut-free "Sprouted Quinoa Pilaf" using fresh organic sprouted grain - green living food - right in your own kitchen all year long. Learn a one-day-ahead guide for meal-planning:

This delicious, nutritional SuperFood meal takes just minutes of prep time and no special equipment: Just a colander or sprout bag, knife, cutting board, and a mixing bowl!

Sprouted Quinoa is a hearty and satisfying substitute for carbs, yet contains all 8 easily-assimilated essential amino acids (proteins). Tossed with crunchy veggies and served on a bed of greens, it's also more alkalizing than nut pates.

The program will include an intro to an upcoming workshop featuring "Low Glycemic Desserts" such as her amazingly decadent yet healthy "Pink Almond Cookies" (Yes, they are dairy-free, sugar-free, gluten-free, cholesterol-free and guilt-free!)

See Debra at "New Life's Yoga and Raw Food Expo", Hotel New Yorker, Sat. June 11th & Sun. June 12th, and at a FUNdraiser for HYPERLINK "http://www.greencitychallenge.org" www.greencitychallenge.org on May 17th.

There will be a raffle for FREE DVDS and discounts on all others with Gabriel Cousens, MD; "Raw Survival with Viktoras Kulvinskas"; Ann Wigmore Natural Health Institute Retreat in Puerto Rico; Debra's "Green Recipes for Health & Weight Loss" and more.

BIO ------------

Ani is on a mission to show you how easy it is to enjoy healthy, organic, whole foods that are delicious, simple, and fast to prepare. Using seasonal, local, organic, fresh produce coupled with nuts and seeds, Ani creates tantalizing recipes that taste amazing, are good for you, and healthy for our planet. She teaches us why eating more organic, fresh, whole foods helps us maintain our ideal weight, lowers cholesterol, boosts our immune system, and helps us look and feel our best.

Ani learned these principles as a child. Growing up in upstate New York, her family had their own organic farm. She was raised on fresh, green juices and seasonal produce which cultivated the relationship she maintains with food today. She spent many years in the catering business and stumbled upon raw foods as a gourmet treat. After realizing the impact on her mental clarity and focus, she was hooked. She continued to notice positive changes in her energy level, productivity and sleep, and recognized there was more to raw foods than meets the eye. She's been dedicated to the raw foods lifestyle ever since.

Additionally, Ani has developed living food vegan menus for Carnival Cruise Lines, Adidas headquarters, STOMP, and Whole Foods Markets, amongst others. Adidas fitness center depends on Ani to consult their athletes on how to 'fuel up' with raw nutrition for optimal performance.

Being an athlete herself and excelling in gymnastics and track and field in high school, Ani has a thorough knowledge of nutrition and understands the importance of fueling your body well in order to achieve maximum performance.

Her charity work includes teaching and speaking at events to help raise money and awareness for organizations like In Defense of Animals, Animal Acres, Farm Sanctuary and organizing cooking play shops for children ages 5-16.

Ani lives in Los Angeles with her Rhodesian Ridgeback, Kanga, who she rescued nine years ago. Fifty pounds underweight at the time, Ani healed Kanga back to health with raw foods, applying the same principles that she uses for humans to her dog. She is currently working on her next book along with planning projects for TV, DVD, and Web.
