What We Do: Raw Cuisine Classes

Learn to make your own living, vegan cuisine!

Whether you're new to living vegan foods, or have been eating this way for some time and looking for some new inspiration, we have created these classes to enhance your ability to create great raw foods.

The following class is offered at Cafe Gratitude, inside the Cupertino Whole Foods Market:

FREE Raw Food Talk: Super Foods? Let’s talk about FOODS THAT ARE SUPER!

Learn about everyday foods that pack a powerful punch in the nutrition department, and how you can add more of them to your diet. Free samples from Café Gratitude too!
Pre-registration NOT required, though we recommend you arrive early and plan to stay for a no-host lunch afterwards at Café Gratitude.

Flavors of the Mediterranean $45
Saturday, September 25 from 10 am to noon
This class has 20 spaces – register today!

Middle Eastern restaurants are always a hit, and with good reason--aromatic herbs, warming spices, and pungent flavors such as olives and feta cheese make this cuisine both exotic and comforting. Now you can enjoy all your favorites, even hummus and falafel, in the raw.

In Flavors of the Mediterranean you will learn:

How to make no-bean hummus that tastes just like the traditional version.

How to use a dehydrator to make savory felafel patties--no frying required.

How to make wheat-free tabouli –with yummy, nutty quinoa.

How to make warming carrots – without using heat.

How to make an amazing and sweet baklava with no wheat and no processed sugar!
Menu: Felafel with No-Bean Hummus, Tabouli, Moroccan Carrots, Apple Baklava

We designed these classes to build your confidence in making living cuisine. If there’s something you’d like to learn to do, please let me know!

Class fees include instruction, samples and and recipe packet.

Here's what people say about the classes:
"Patti is a terrific teacher, personable, full of great
information -- delightful.
And the food is absolutely delicious; gives 'raw food'
a good name."
Judith M.
"Patti does a great job of making the tools of a raw
foodist chef easy to understand and incorporate. She is enthusiastic about the
tastes and textures of raw food and the creativity that can be unleashed
in preparing them. She is passionate about the benefits of raw food
and shares experiences of transforming from
omnivore to vegan/raw lifestyle in a humorous engaging way."
Teresa M.
"Patti offers great classes in the South Bay for those avoiding or intolerant of gluten/dairy and want to incorporate more raw foods in their lifestyle."
Lisa K.
"Patti's raw food class was a great experience! As a relative 'novice' to raw food dining, (other than salads and baggies of vegetables), I found the class to be helpful, practical, and healthful! I will try some new recipes tomorrow.
Thanks, Patti!" Lindsay S. ***********************
