Learn to make this tart!

Mexican food is what many people crave when they want something hearty, cheesy, and comforting. And who doesn't love to munch on chips and salsa in front of a video?

Unfortunately, traditional Mexican cuisine is notorious for being high in calories, greasy, and short on fresh veggies. But once you learn the raw food preparation techniques in this class, you'll be able to make a truly healthy, as well as delicious, Latin American Fiesta for yourself and your friends.

In Mexican Fiesta you will learn:

* How to use a dehydrator to make thin, crispy chips out of flax seeds and vegetables--perfect with guacamole.
* Which knife skills to use to dice up delicious homemade salsa.
* How to use a dehydrator to make flexible wraps out of vegetables--the perfect tortilla for enchiladas.
* How to use shredded cabbage to replace rice for a lighter version of Mexican rice.
* How to make a beautiful mango fruit tart with a coconut crust--delicious either as a dessert or as a light meal in itself.

Menu: Hot Red Pepper Chips, Salsa, Authentic Guacamole, Enchiladas de Verdura con Chili Colorado, Mexican Seasoned Cabbage, Tropical Fruit Tart

Say bye-bye to Beebe, our beloved intern this year.

 

Hi everyone, I'm Beebe, your Raw Bay Area intern. What does an intern do, you ask? I've updated the website and Facebook, promoted classes, wrote articles for our blog and newsletters, volunteered at classes, kept track of all your beautiful names in our database, and helped with anything else that needs to get done!  

 

Now all of a sudden, one year has gone by. Throughout this time, I never ran out of things to do and learn-I've met amazing friends in the raw food community, worked with the raw pros and experts and eaten countless delicious raw meals.

 

The first time I met Heather, she told me that the possibilities for this position would be endless-that I'd have the freedom to pursue whatever interested me about Raw Bay Area and contribute as an equal through each step of the process. One year later, I attest that she is a woman of her word. She gave me an insider's view on every aspect of running this business, and supported any ideas I brought to the table. I approached the internship with a love of writing and raw food, and now leave with even more passion for marketing and multimedia.

 

I'll be moving to San Francisco next month, and starting jobs that I would've never gotten if not for this experience. It will be an exciting month of change in our offices, as we meet and train new interns that will keep these (kale-powered) engines charging full speed ahead! Though I'm sad to leave, I'm looking forward to visiting Heather in the future, not for work, but play!

 

Thanks Heather, for being the inspiring friend and businesswoman you are.  ~ Beebe Xia
