Life is love expressed A path with a heart
Peter and I attended Raw Chefs training, and the wonder of raw foods and superfoods was unveiled to us. I had the true pleasure of tasting a decadent raw chocolate ganache tart made using raw cacao powder – it changed my life! As soon as I realised I didn’t have to give up chocolate, and that eating healthily included (and not excluded) delicious and indulgent taste sensations, I embarked with vigour on this new raw food - superfood path.
Love health
P
eter and I have always believed in following our path with a heart. This often means taking a risk, acting intuitively instead of logically or taking the road less traveled. This seemingly impulsive approach to life can feel quite scary at times, but what an enriching adventure it is to let that spark of love flow through you.
Love is magic Being in love is magical, it’s full of mystery, excitement, synchronicity and wonder. Our heart-led journey took us to the UK where, through a series of ‘co-incidences’ and super-synchronicities we were gifted our first juicer and discovered Goji Berries which were just beginning to make their appearance on the health scene over there. We started green juicing and eating goji berries and they started to work their magic on us, and the world of Superfoods began to unfold before our eyes.
For the love of chocolate Having grown up in a bakery I have always loved chocolate, but knowing that all that sugar, dairy and trans fat found in most chocolate bars wasn’t good for me, I decided to kick the habit. As if by magic, I was presented with the alternative. Peter was shopping online and stumbled across 100% raw cacao nibs. He ordered some and a few days later the postman delivered them to our door. I snacked on raw cacao nibs and raisins and really enjoyed the deep chocolate flavour, sweetened only by the taste of the raisins. We followed the trail of cacao crumbs before us and quickly came across the growing raw food and superfood movements in the UK and US. Goji berries, maca powder, wheatgrass and cacao quickly became part of our daily routine.
When you wish someone well you wish them health and happiness. Happiness flows with ease when your body is healthy. It is so much more difficult to smile when you are in any kind of physical pain. Discovering the raw food lifestyle was a revelation, and once we put the principles into action and started to feel the health benefits of dining on living, raw food and nutrient dense superfoods, there was no turning back. Nothing tastes as good as good health feels, and as chefs we had the skills to make the food taste great as well! Double bonus.
so that more people can access the health message of superfoods. Our Superfoods staff and team are fueled by these superfoods, as we nurture and grow health awareness together for a healthier, happier, more love-filled and more loveexpressed life upon our sacred earth.
Magic made real We have been ingesting the nutritional potency of superfoods for years now and feel it throughout the cells of our bodies and beings. Since the birth of our daughter, Katara in 2012 we felt the desire to write a Superfoods book. As new parents and zany superfoodists we wanted this book to be extra special and extra fun – something that children could engage with and enjoy too! The Magic of Superfoods, with rawlicious recipes for radiant health was launched in December 2013 and is something completely different. It’s practical, informative, fun and fantastical.
Sharing our passion We moved home to South Africa and started sharing our passion for health through our raw food courses. We were definitely in the right place at the right time and South Africans were ready and willing to listen to our way out ideas and taste our raw food dishes. We focused on debunking standard nutritional myths and demonstrating how to make healthy food taste great. We were continually asked to write down our recipes, which we did with the publication of our first recipe book in 2009 called Rawlicious, Recipes for Radiant Health. In 2011 our Rawlicious recipe book and 2-day course was made accessible to many more health seekers through our DVD course, Rawlicious, Elements of Health. Our latest book: The Magic of Superfoods has just been released!
The Magic of Superfoods is available at Wellness Warehouse stores and online at www.wellnesswarehouse.com
Life is love expressed Life is a beautiful gift and to love and express your love through your life’s activities is a miracle. This Valentines Day whether you are in a relationship or not, celebrate the MAGIC of YOU and the things you love to do the most!
Building a heart-led company When we started our courses we wanted to share our passion for delicious healthy food choices, but how could we do this without sharing our newly discovered raw cacao recipes? Raw cacao was unavailable and unheard of back then, so we started importing it, along with goji berries, which we sold at markets and at our raw food courses. Our Superfoods brand and Superfoods import company has grown out of these humble beginnings and we now have a wide range of the world’s best superfoods available throughout the country
