First day at the Matthew Kenney Academy
The school/restaurant is SUCH an inspiring environment to be in. You’re practically standing in a raw food pantry (I’m like a kid in a candy store) surrounded by all the tools and gadgets you need. The teachers are great and the other students are lovely. I’m feeling so LUCKY right now! Today was mostly theoretical with an exception of knife skills-practice and a pistachio...

- Roast fennel, red onion and sweet potato with some thyme, olive oil, salt and pepper in an oven until completely baked.
- Make an easy dressing with juice of half a lemon,...

Sweet 'n' green & tropical mango
What to do when bored? MAKE RAW FOOD BALLS! Here’s two different kinds I made yesterday:

- 8-10 pieces of pre-soaked dried...
