I must’ve invented my first recipe when I just turned 14 years old, but it wasn’t delicious. It didn’t get better with age. It was rather unsightly too. It also caused much pain for years to come, but at the same time, it was the recipe that made me.

This recipe involved a combination of teenage hormones, stress in my body caused by a near fatal car crash and a morphine overload pumped into me at the hospital, which I turned out to be severely allergic to…

What I got was an entire back full of hideous, giant, repulsive acne, which I was too freaked out to lay a finger on myself, let alone have anyone know the real reason I preferred to sunbathe only my front or why I loved long sleeved dresses so much even in scorching hot weather or why I needed a sick-day as soon as the school announced a swimming event.

It was hard enough being a teenager, but having to hide was pretty damn depressing.

Eventually I learned to come to terms with what I thankfully didn’t need to look at, as it was going on behind me. I simply figured that it is what it is and it’s never going to go so I’ll just plan my life, my road trips, holidays, sports I played and even friends I spent time with- around how easy it is to hide my back.

This went on for many many years. And then I discovered raw food!!

Waamp waamp waaaaamp…

You thought I’d have something new to share, right? Aha- that I do, and I want to tell you my secret in person!

I’ll be doing just that at 2 epic events this May…

TOPIC | Sexy Glowing Skin (skin expert panel revealing their top tips and secrets)
LOCATION | Tanya’s at MY Chelsea
TIME | 7pm-9pm, Monday 9th May
FEE | £25, includes green juice, limited seating, book here>>

Really hope I’ll see you at one or both of the events! They are both very different and will be jam packed with incredible eye opening info on what is going on inside your body, what is causing the issues and how to clear them (and your skin) for good.

My own secret, which I’m going to reveal to you is so good, I usually save it for my retreat attendees only. This time I decided to share it in my classes too, since this year’s retreat is still under question…. but if for some reason you can’t make it or live too far away, let me know in the comments below that you’re keen to read about how I healed 12 years worth of awful skin. If there’s enough interest, I promise to write a post for you guys!

The highly anticipated and long awaited Superfood Supperclub is coming to Tanya’s Chelsea on two dates this July!

The newly opened bright and beautiful terrace, as well as the brand new luxury 5-star summer menu, are to thank for the most inquired-about event of the year.

The evening’s innovative five course menu, designed by Tanya Maher and Head Chef Eddie Alsubaei, will kick off with a refreshing superfood cocktail and Californian roll, followed by a marinated fennel and cabbage salad with cultured seed cheese, then a surprise twist on our most popular summer dish, ending the night with a trio of raw indulgent truffle, ice-cream and sorbet with a raw (yes raw) coffee still inside its antioxidant rich berry, which is such a delicacy, it is not even on the everyday menu, as Tanya brought it all the way from Ecuador.

Additional superfood cocktails will be available to purchase on the night at an exclusive special of 2 for the price of 1 for all Supperclub guests.

Both Tuesday 14th July and Saturday 18th July will only have 50 tickets available and the first to purchase will be seated on the terrace. Tanya will be there, hosting the event, so come equipped with any question about food, health, life or business and she will make sure to make the rounds to answer them all.

 

Tanya Maher is the founder of the ultimate wellness company BetterRaw.com, co-founder of a high-end gourmet raw café chain TanyasCafe.com, creator of the Amazon #1 best selling DVD ‘Raw Food 101’ and author of Hay House’s ‘The Uncook Book’, out this September.
