Raw Foods

Raw, “living” foods are the best way to begin to nourish your body in a way that your cells love. Preparing raw food is easy, but takes learning some new techniques. Raw food is particularly difficult to learn from a book. Once you understand it and “see” how it is made in Chef Teton’s videos, rather than read how it is done, you will have the simple tools that will give you a lifetime of nourishment and intense pleasure. In addition, once you learn the techniques, you can pick up any raw food preparation book and instantly know what the author is talking about and how to do it.

  • Learn how to set up your kitchen and get all the right equipment.

  • Learn how and why to bring nuts and seeds to life by germinating through soaking.

  • Learn how to sprout lentils, chickpeas, and mung beans to make delicious salads and more.

  • Learn how to mix raw ingredients and dehydrate them to make delicious crackers and pizza crusts.

  • Learn the best juicing techniques

Then you learn how to prepare a delicious wealth of entrees, sides, salads, and desserts, including:

  • Dressings

  • Hummus

  • Wraps

  • Pizza

  • Seed Milks

  • Seed Cheese

  • Raw Pecan Pies

  • Nut Cream Sundae

  • Banana and Pineapple Sorbet

  • Grapefruit Fennel Salad

  • Raw Buckwheat and Herbs

  • Fruit Salad a la Coconut Cream Sauce

Cooked Foods

Often, your body longs for cooked foods. This course teaches you how to prepare satisfying plant-based dishes that will fire up your digestion, cleanse your body, and incorporate more vegetables into your daily menus. Learn how to combine raw and cooked foods.

  • Add flavor to your plant-based diet by enhancing the taste of “boring” vegetables.

  • Improve your digestion and reduce inflammation.

  • Add healing properties to the traditional preparation of vegetables with spices and herbs.

This course was developed so that everyday people could begin to enjoy the simplicity of working with recipes that include raw foods and the best of cooked foods.

Cultured Foods

The centenarians, those people who live to be a healthy 100 years old in various locations in the world, include naturally fermenting (cultured) foods in their diet. These naturally fermented foods (like un-pasteurized sauerkraut and kefir) will most likely support your body with what it needs to digest and grow old healthfully.

  • Heal digestive issues naturally

  • Eat for greater energy

  • Resolve bothersome skin issues

  • Reduce or eliminate sugar cravings

Naturally fermented foods aid digestion, assimilation, and immune-building capabilities. Having an inner eco-system full of friendly flora and brimming with good bacteria is one of the best ways to digest and absorb the nutrients from your meals.

Learn to make your own cultured foods with my powerful and engaging instruction. The course includes how-to instructional videos, recipes, and everything you need to know to make your own fermented vegetables and kefir.

I am in a nutrition degree program and have been learning about raw foods and super foods. Not knowing how to effectively prepare or use many of the foods I am learning about, I began to look for a resource. I received these DVDs for my birthday, and they are fabulous! There are so many simple ideas - from sprouting to raw to fermenting and more. You won’t be disappointed. They will help you to get on the right track quickly.
