Superfood Live Desserts Class
Learn how to make the most delectable sweets, with raw ingredients that are local, seasonal, and supplemented with nutritious and mineralizing superfoods. We will create a seasonal raw pie, sweet sauces, superfood cookies, and a tasty chocolate pudding. The recipes we learn here are a reflection of those in Julia’s new book called Sweet & Raw Pie Mandalas. All the components of making a pie are easy; the crust, filling and frosting with a mandala decoration to finish the pie. And these parts can easily be used and transformed to make any type of raw dessert you desire. Julia will speak in depth about cacao, goji berries, mesquite pod meal, yacon, maca, lucuma, herbs and medicinal mushrooms, and describe to you their benefits and uses to supplement a whole foods lifestyle.
