RAW FOOD TASTES OF ITALY
London
The idea of this class came about with an innocent question from a lovely gentleman, who knew nothing about me, on our recent flight back from Italy. He was reflecting on his trip and asked me this: "Wouldn't the world be perfect if you could just eat pizza, pasta and gelato whenever you wanted, without any health or weight issues?" I bet he never expected the reply he received: "Oh but you can! And not only eat it all day / every day without issues, but feel incredible, look ten years younger, love visiting the bathroom, be any weight you wanted, sleep fantastically, and eat as much as you pleased."
He was certainly listening. So now I'd love to tell YOU exactly how you can achieve your top health eating your favourite foods and most importantly show you how easy it is to recreate the most renowned Italian delicacies at home, without any cooking what so ever.
Join Tanya Alekseeva for a fun, informative and taster packed class, where you will learn these recipes:
-Stuffed olives
-Two minute pesto
-Pear and walnut boats
-'No one will know the difference' Spaghetti
-Real Italian Bolognaise sauce
-Meatless meatballs
-Ideal pizza base and extended shelf life tomato paste
-Delicious creamy tangy cheese
-Mango gelato
-Ginger biscotti as seen in Festive
This workshop as always will be free from gluten, soy, peanuts and dairy. But will be full of Italian flavours and unforgettable taste. Come along with an appetite!
"Thank you very much for a fantastic class Tanya. I love your philosophy on using a minimum number of ingredients for every recipe, but the right ones for that unbelievable taste. I can't think of a single recipe I wouldn't want to recreate at home." -David S.
"Absolutely perfect. We loved the variety and most of all we loved the simplicity. We are both grateful to have found a teacher that understands busy people and had meal suggestions for us at home and at the office." -Dina S. & Caylee W.

RAW PICNIC & PUNTING WITH POLLY & TANYA
Cambridge
If I could be any more excited about a fun day out, which the lovely Polly Noble and I have planned for you, I would probably pop! We are both meeting a couple of days before to shop for the freshest organic produce and partnering up in the kitchen to create a vibrationally charged feast for you!

What is punting?
A punt is a narrow flat-bottomed boat that resembles a Venetian gondola with the curve removed. The punter uses a large pole to push the boat down the river, while we sit back, relax and chat and laugh till our jaws begin to hurt.

1:30PM Board the punts
1:30-2:30PM Be chauffeured down the river past infamous colleges learning about the history of these beautiful buildings
2:30PM-4PM Enjoy a delicious organic raw picnic lunch made by Polly & Tanya and get take-away recipe sheets
What yummy foods will the picnic include? Mocktails on arrival, curried flax crackers, raw sundried tomato hummus, summer guacamole, creamy cheesy dip, pizza, wraps with sunflower seed pate and fresh seasonal veggies and sprouts, marinated and pesto stuffed mushrooms, chocolate brownie bites, special indulgent cake, strawberries and cream, plus green elixirs.
