As a chef I participated in a 4-weeks detoxification program in 2004 that had a profound impact on my understanding of nutrition, healthy eatingand beauty . I immediately chose to become a vegen and I am currently on a 100% raw foods.

Why Raw Food?

I have been a chef all my life and my passion is creating all kinds of food and doing preparations in the kitchen. I love the kind of food that nurtures the human body. That can only be possible with raw food. I used the eat very much everything before and all I did was get fat and get lazy. It was like, "This can not be it." When I discovered raw food, living it was like bingo for me.

Have you ever fasted? If so, what kind of fast? How often?

Yes I have fasted 3 days in a row and it was a great experience. I realy got that how much I was attached to cooked food. It was a very powerful experience for me. Now I am picking one day a week for fasting.

Additional Information

"As a long-time chef and restaurant owner, I have always had an interest in exploring cuisines from around the world. Sharing what I learn is important to me, and my experiences always find their way into my menus. After becoming vegan and raw foodie I have implemented new hobbies one of them is running a marathon, swimming and spending more time in the kitchen?s is one of my biggest hobby. It is so great that I don?t have to cook anything and food taste is much better. I love going out the farms with my family and taking a long weekend trips. Reading and traveling also one of my biggest hobby. I am very much interesting in eastern philosophy. I appreciate being involved in this group.. "
