Day 1 @ Living Light

Bits of an email to my Da Jie

Today's class was fantastic! Even I can't believe how good the food is!
....
Today's classes were mostly on sprouting, juicing and fermentation - Living Light considers sprouting and fermentation to be the pillars of the raw food diet, and after eating today's foods I can see why! I had my first taste of Rejuvelac and herbed almond cheese - absolutely delicious! It tasted nothing as I'd imagined, a beautifully smooth, mild tasting cheese, alot like buffala mozzarella. The foods were unbelievably good! SERIOUSLY!!! They stuffed us with food today, continuously loading us with snacks and sample portions, in addition to sprouted buckwheat granola & almond milk breakfast and an incredibly tasty salad spread for lunch. I mean, I've already been a raw food convert and I still can't believe how delicious today's food was. And I find I don't have to eat as much to be satisfied! I think fermentation really adds a dimension of raw food that's very necessary that's been missing from my life thus far. And its easy!!! I already can't wait to come back and start setting up what I've learnt today.

The instructors are great - you can really tune into each one and feel how much love and passion they have for what they're doing. Some of them can really talk for forever, but they have so much ENERGY, it is infectious.
