About Raw Epicurean

Raw Epicurean is a blog focused on natural wholesome food prepared raw, or in another word, uncooked or heated at 118 degrees or less. You’ll find tips, ideas, and recipes shared from recipe books, like-minded chefs, raw food enthusiasts, and from what I’ve created and learned along the way.

Frequently Asked Questions

When did you first discover raw food?

I discovered raw food in February 2007 while living in Budapest, Hungary. During that time, I was preparing to begin an 8-day fast and while researching online, I stumbled upon G Living. This site was my first introduction to raw food. After I completed my fast, I officially began a raw vegan diet in March 2007.

Who takes the pictures for Raw Epicurean?

I take all the pictures on Raw Epicurean, unless otherwise indicated. The pictures were taken with a Nikon Coolpix 2200.

Are you professionally trained?

The greater part of my food education [pre and post raw] comes from collecting and perusing recipe books and magazines, from these sources I have self-taught myself how to execute the recipes and create dishes.

How can I contact you?

I’m always happy to hear from you. Send me an email at love@rawepicurean.net or feel free to leave a comment at the end of a particular post on Raw Epicurean, if you’d like.
