We're thrilled to announce that the May 2011 Radiantly Alive Raw Chef Apprenticeship Program will be led by world renowned chef and dear friend, Elaina Love.

For five years, we've been working with the top raw chefs in the world to create amazing food for our high vibe yoga teacher trainings. Now, aspiring raw food chefs have the opportunity to study and work with Elaina Love and Radiantly Alive in tropical Bali.

Combining the best of many elements - skilled senior chefs, the practical and rewarding experience of preparing food for yogis, the opportunity to participate in portions of our yoga training, a dynamic and enthusiastic educational staff guiding the apprentices, plentiful and incredible all-organic local fruits, vegetables and superfoods (coconuts, cacao, cashews and more) - and all set in the beauty of spiritual Bali - we now take the apprenticeship program to another level.

Elaina will guide the apprentices' education through a mixture of practical and classroom experience. Receive an in-depth manual which includes the philosophies and recipes behind what you are learning. Integrate how to make an array of gourmet, raw, vegan foods that you can in turn, teach or cater anywhere in the world.

You will experience hands-on daily catering for a large group of yoga students while learning the ins and outs of making delicious, gourmet, beautiful dishes that include breakfasts, breads, pastries, desserts, ethnic entrees, wraps, salad dressings, dips, dehydrates, chocolates, elixirs, beverages, soups, exotic fruits and ingredients, and so much more!

The classes will include continued knife and kitchen tool training, food handling for safety and hygiene, catering for large groups, flavor balancing, ordering and procurement, food production, running a catering kitchen, catering for specialty groups (diabetics, athletes, elderly, children, and health seeking adults), finding your specific body type, conscious language for creating the life, health and business you desire, how to be vibrant at 100, the 80-20 Maintain-Cleanse principles, low glycemic eating and how to use stevia and other sugar free sweeteners, the use of Irish moss and other thickeners, stretching recipes, creating on the spot with what you have, and so much more!
