On 28th July 2014, the sunniest of all sunny days, we opened the doors to Tanya’s flagship raw food restaurant and Europe’s first ever superfood cocktail bar in the heart of Chelsea London.

On exactly this date two years later, we want to get together and celebrate this amazing achievement with you guys!

As always, we will be celebrating in style with a beautiful Superfood SupperClub…

This time, we have a very VERY special guest flying over from the Food Matters Headquarters in Australia to join us on the night! It’s a real privilege to have James Colquhoun host an epic Q&A session on ‘The Future of Wellness’, so needless to say, this SupperClub evening will be a one-off event. Told you it’s a special one!

You will be welcomed with a floral summer cocktail, a probiotic appetiser of kombucha’ish soup with cultured seed cream, a protein starter of satay seaweed salad, a vibrant luxury raw food pizza for a main, a trio of the most decadent desserts, complemented by a nourishing digestive tea. For those wishing to make the most of the celebrations, we will be offering 2 for 1 cocktails, so come thirsty!

And if all that isn’t already special enough, you will be dining on the most comfortable of cushioned chairs and lowered bespoke solid wood tables, because Tanya’s is getting a make-over and you will be the first to see it!

Tickets are just £60pp or £110 for two. Seats are super limited. No refunds available.

FITNESS THAT FITS YOU

You love getting your green on and finding the healthiest choices for your day, and yet nutrition is only half the story of wellness. To reach optimum health you need to move your body.

But what if exercise has never really been your thing? Sure you’ve tried a lot of classes, and different types of exercise. You’ve even given yoga a really good go, but somehow you lack the consistency of approach to really see a long term difference or find the body confidence you seek.

It’s true that exercise can be hard to do, it can be challenging, overwhelming, confusing and it can be costly in time and money without always getting results.

But when it’s the right kind of movement for you, when you get into the flow and stick with it, and when you actually see and experience the benefits… the feeling that fitness gives you can be out of this world!

So what is the key to finding an approach to fitness that fits you?

Our expert panel who have a flair for fitness will share their insights and tips to connect you with that fitness freedom that you’ve been looking for. Come and join the conversation with like minded people and reap the benefits for the rest of your life.

Tanya and her alkalising welcome juice and organic energy balls will be awaiting your arrival too!

Terms of Purchase: Tickets are non-refundable, and non-transferrable.

People often ask me if raw food is all about crunching carrot sticks. I can’t help myself but giggle and reply with a “nope, it’s also about drinking carrot juice, blending carrots into soup, applying grated carrot as face masks and chewing carrot cake”. I do love my giant orange Vitamin A pills! I also really love this carrot cake and think you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how similar it tastes to the baked favourite.

The recipe is from my book, The Uncook Book (which is now also available in Polish!)

For the cake

150g pitted dates, soaked

70g dried pineapple, chopped

750g carrots, grated and squeezed to remove excess liquid

50g ground flaxseeds

60g ground gluten-free oats

70g coconut oil

75g maple syrup

2 tsp mixed spice

1 tsp cinnamon

½ tsp Himalayan salt

For the frosting

1 C soaked Cashews

3 TBSP coconut oil

3 TBSP agave

juice of 1 Lemon

1 tbsp vanilla extract

-Prepare the cake layer first by processing dates and pineapple in a food processor, till they become chutney-like.

-Add remaining ingredients and process again till well combined. Transfer the cake mix into a 9 inch spring-form tin, press firmly.

-To prepare the frosting, firstly scrape out the seeds from a whole vanilla pod. To do so, slice the pod in half lengthwise, then use a teaspoon to literally scrape all the seeds out until the inside of the pod is dry.

-Transfer all the frosting ingredients to a high speed blender and blend on ‘high’. Pour it over the cake and transfer to the fridge to set. Alternatively, if you prefer a runnier frosting, remove the cake from the tin and pour icing over it when serving.

Tanya’s Top Tip:

The base of the cake tin is not completely flat, as it has raised edges. To remove the cake easily without losing any of it that may catch on this ridge, insert the base into the adjustable tin ring so that the ridge faces downwards.

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!

Happy New Year, you guys!

I don’t know about you, but something tells me that this year is bound to be truly magical.

After working with many of you over the course of last year and after reflecting back on 2015, I know energetically it’s been a tough one for many. Even as you’ve welcomed brand new digits full of hope and desires, some of us still had ‘debts’ left to pay and found ourselves weak, sick, irritable, achy or disappointed during this first week of 2016 or perhaps losing material but sentimental things, which is also the universe’s way of encouraging you to leave stuff behind.

You may have started with good intentions, but now feeling like you have already let yourself down within days, so I’m here to remind you that you’re OK…

Actually this first week of a new year is more of a transition week, sorta like doing a cleanse and experiencing all kinds of awful detox symptoms before feeling and seeing the benefits.

It’s a week to be kind to yourself and to spend time setting your intentions not just for the start of the year, but for all of it.

It’s a week to explore all of your options. A week to make wishes. A week to day dream and to plan. And only if this plan involves a good and effective detox to clear out the bad and begin with the new, then read on.

Below you will find various detoxing options which I’ve categorised in order of cost, starting from ideas that cost nothing at all…

24 HOUR RAW FOOD PLAN // FREE

Do you have either a juicer or a blender at home? Then you can start this 24 hour plan tomorrow. If you own both, you can even extend your cleanse to 48 hours, because I put together a thorough step-by-step guide with recipes using a juicer and totally different recipes using a blender. Download it for free here >>

VISION BOARD // FREE

Although not exactly a detox plan, this step-by-step guide to creating your own vision board is an essential component to reaching your ideal weight, body and health goals. See my blog post here >>

TOP DETOX TIPS // FREE

 

My amazing friends of Neal’s Yard Remedies just launched their stunning new wellbeing website and I got the privilege to guest-write their very first post. Detox and Alkalising being my favourite topics ever, this blog post includes my Top 10 Detox Tips >>

 

THE UNCOOK BOOK // $3.99 – £11.89

My raw food recipe book, The Uncook Book, is not specifically designed as a detox guide, but there are over 140 recipes and a bunch of them can definitely be used when menu planning for a cleanse. I suggest starting the day with a juice or smoothie (like ‘Everyday Green’), a salad for lunch (like ‘Sauerkraut’ or ‘Hearty Kale Salad’), a porridge for an afternoon snack (like ‘Green Warming Oat Porridge’) and a soup for dinner (like ‘Alkaline Soup’). If you don’t want to wait for a copy in the post, you won’t believe your luck!- the downloadable version of The Uncook Book is on special right now at a majorly discounted rate of US$3.99 (84% off!!). Or order a hardcover copy via Amazon UK or Amazon US at 30% off.

 

7 DAY DETOX PLAN // £15

 

The first eBook that I ever launched came as a result of designing over 100 individual detox programs. After working with so many different clients, there emerged an undeniable pattern of ingredients and food combinations that encouraged toxic release from the body. Any body. ‘Purified- Your Complete 7 Day Detox Program‘ was born as a result. Many that do this plan end up enjoying the changes and energy levels so much that they continue for another 7 days, which I provide as a bonus within this downloadable guide.

 

DETOX EVENT // £25

I’m pretty excited about this one! If you are in London on Monday 11th January, there’s no better way to get inspired and excited about cleansing than hearing directly from industry experts. This Detox Edition of our brand new Nutrition Talks event series launching at Tanya’s will be headlined by Inner Me‘s Nikki Cooper (detox and supplementation), Bodyism‘s James Duigan (detox via movement) and nutritionist Eve Kalinik (mindful detoxing). Even a green juice and raw food canapes are included your ticket price. Secure your seat here >>

 

 

NEW YEAR WORKSHOP // £35-£195

This may not be my event or focused on detoxing, but I have massive respect for Gabby Bernstein and the content she is going to cover at this ‘Make Your Resolutions Stick’ workshop. Plus as Gabby teaches you about how to change old patterns to create new dreams and guides you through powerful meditations, you may just find that the results you experience are more radical and sustainable than any diet or detox will provide. Book your ticket here >>

 

DONE FOR YOU CLEANSE // £75 – £390
