Kate Magic in Lausanne in May 2010 - 02/05/2010
“High Raw for Raw High” is a good motto to illustrate Kate’s magical journey into raw! Kate Magic Wood, author of many books including “Eat Smart, Eat Raw”, “Raw Living”, “Raw Magic” and “Ecstatic Beings” (the latter co-authored with Shazzie) is the UK’s most ecstatic raw food teacher who has been inspiring raw families everywhere. Raising her three sons on raw food and magic, she is an inspiration to all. It was great to get up close and personal with her during this welcoming day of sharing hosted by my friend and child therapist Karin Roten. We spent an afternoon of fun experiments, with Kate showing us how to turn daily raw fares into superfood-charged dishes that will fill us with amazing nutrients.
In particular, her tomato sauce with goji berries and cacao nibs and her energizing chia pudding (I can still feel the buzz!) were truly amazing! As is her habit of adding sea vegetables to most dishes because they are the best source of minerals. I walked out with a long list of adaptogens to try (nutritious plant foods that restore optimal functioning of the body). But raw goes way beyond the food. According to Kate, “The greatest gift of raw is the inner awareness”. I can’t agree more!
