GOURMET SUNDAYS
A NOTE FROM ELAINA:
We're very excited about a new program we just started this month called
where we feature a chef each week and send it out to our mailing list as well as posting on social media such as Facebook.  Once a student graduates from Pure Joy Academy, this will be a great way to get recognition for your business.  Many of our students have become amazing chefs after graduating (if they were not already), and have started their own business. Here we feature some of our graduates and their recipes.  You may also see some other well known raw food chefs who have also been invited to contribute. 
Be sure to get on our
mailing list to get your recipe every Sunday.  For more gourmet dishes, check out my recipe page

MEET THIS WEEK'S
GOURMET  SUNDAYS' CHEF...

 JONNY FREESH

AUGUST
17th

2014

Jonny's two main passions in life are raw food and hip hop music.  The third is durian.

He teaches raw food courses under Raw Food Bali in Ubud, Bali, Indonesia and shares his amazing recipes in his blog.  He has two recipe books, 21 Easy Gourmet Raw Food Recipes and Raw Food Made Fun, Easy, and Beautiful: 63 Recipes to Take Your Raw Food to the Next Level.  He's particularly fond of desserts, especially chocolate.

"Raw Food is the Beat that I groove to, and Hip Hop is the Voice that I speak with," says Jonny who has been rapping for five years now and rapping about raw food just over a year.  His music may be downloaded on his Music Page and you may catch him performing live in Ubud.

His journey into raw food started when a friend who loves raw food and juicing convinced him to do an 

8-day juice fast.  (Before this, he was a typical college boy who subsisted on beer and pizza.)  There was no turning back after that.  Months later, he is the proud owner of Raw Food Bali, an online raw food business.  He has assisted about a dozen raw food courses and workshops and studied under Elaina Love, and has been teaching and rapping ever since.

As he would always say,  

keep it freesh,  

spinach over chicken.

And Jonny is the proud owner of the word FREESH which he likes to explain better thru rap.
