Chris dares YOU to read this
I have met many people in the last 35 years who talk about health but do nothing. They travel to countless lectures, read dozens of books by even more "gurus" and visit health food stores every week looking for that "secret" solution to their health woes. There exists no single ingredient or magic pill. It is only by eating right can you obtain the right health. It boils down to this. You have to eat properly every single day. If you eat well 50% of the time then you will be well 50% of the time. If you eat well 90% of the time then you will still be sick 10% of the time. Wouldn't it be nice to never be sick? Or when you did "get sick" it was a simple Maintenance Healing Crisis, minor and over quickly, like an automatic computer network maintenance repair in the middle of the night? To get this kind of health is natural. But you have to eat naturally. Every day. The First Supper FACILITATES. Chris does not just talk. He works. Like an enzyme, he DOES SOMETHING. And like the enzymes in our fantastic God-given machines, he does the exact right thing at the exact right time. Time after time. For the last ten years, success story after success story. Look at some of the testimonials of just his raw clients here.
Isn't it time that you enjoyed health every day? Once you experience what true health feels like you will no longer be like the masses- as Longfellow said in his famous poem, The Psalm of Life, "Be not like dumb, driven cattle. Be a hero in the strife."

What is the class about?
Chris has designed a special raw food experience for those who not only want to learn how to go raw the best, most nutritious and most convenient way, but who also want to wow their taste buds and seduce the palates of family and friends. After all, the main factor in this, the most significant transformation in anyone's life, is to love the food so much that you continue to eat it. This is exactly what Chris has done in creating this unique raw course. You will see exactly how to make 1) The Top Four Raw Meals that will take you through the week, making sure you get your greens, vitamins, minerals and all other whole food nutrition in the most convenient but soul-food delicious way. You will also discover the best way to set up your kitchen for maximum efficiency. Like basic clothing staples, they have many variations. 2) Most Powerful Comfort Foods. These are pasta, rice, bread and sweet or "salty" snacks. Every culture is based on starch. The problem is that raw pasta and rice, made the typical way that you see in raw recipe books, does not compare to the comfort foods that we have become addicted to. Now you can see how to make these foods taste best. "I used to make pasta by spiralizing zucchini but then when I added the excellent raw sauce it just tasted like a spaghetti-shaped salad with an excellent raw sauce! Then I learned by trial and error how to make pasta become pasta! Being mostly Italian, I craved pasta all my life and after learning how to make it the best way I can REALLY enjoy it raw!" Chris shows you how to make the most fantastic raw root rice as well as wild rice that everyone else makes. His pasta is to live for. Special crackerbread recipe secrets are the bomb for eliminating your bread and crisp cravings. 3) Seduction Of Palate. Special meals such as rawvioli, pesto, burgers, Mexican meals, meatloaf, plus decadent desserts make the raw diet hard to resist even for a cooked food gourmet. Learn the techniques and procedures that Chris has discovered in his ten-year raw odyssey, Chris was born in the heart of New York international cuisine, to a mother who was a ballet dancer and a father who was a world traveler and who spoke five languages. After getting into bodybuilding to convert his 133 lb skinny body, he learned how to force-feed on all the glorious cuisine. Problem was, Chris was never a big eater. He had to train himself to eat more! After going vegan and then raw, he had to further entice his taste-buds. If you can imagine how difficult this is, then you have a slight idea of how his culinary mind works. The food that Chris wows his clients with, including health food stores on Long Island, and teaches many others to make is the result of years of good tasting food and super nutrition experience. He feels that this is what makes his food so enjoyed by all those who taste it. It is the single best reason why they stay raw.

Hi Chris,
...Thanks so much for the pleasurable weekend. While it was a slight stretch for me to be still and present (as you know I am leaving for Italy tonight), I had a great time and really loved meeting all the people at the class and your retinue! And let's not forget the passion and tremendous knowledge you bring to your classes. You made the class easy, interesting and fun and I can't wait to get back home to start applying what I learned, using the recipes and generally immersing myself in raw foods. Linda B.
I really enjoyed the class. Although I am not yet totally raw, I have been experimenting with raw for some of my meals for quite a while now. I really needed variation and I am so glad I took the class and got to watch you create food the whole week-end. And we got to eat it all! It was a fun week-end, I learned a lot and I made new friends. Thanks. Eric B.
Thanks again for everything. Kate made the ice cream tonight. It was overwhelmingly well received by all. Loretta C.
You can absolutely quote me.... because it is so true. I learned more than I ever thought possible and am feeling more confident. You thought of all the finishing touches. Debi and I even loved the containers you put the lemon water in on the table. We ran out to Bed, Bath and Beyond and bought them for ourselves. Your energy and enthusiasm is amazing because of your selfless belief to share this wonderful way of life. Thank you so much for a wonderful, informative, enjoyable weekend. Kathe D.
Hi Chris, I forgot to tell you. Remember I said I was going to Chef ____'s raw class (the part owner of __ ___? I liked your classes better. Of course you always learn something new but everything he made I wouldn't make because I didn't love it. Kathe D.
Thank you so much for all the time and dedication you put into our class over the weekend. You are an amazing, generous person, and a true testament to the raw food life. Please also thank your mom, Faye and Bonnie too; they were so lovely sharing their knowledge and experiences.
I watched during the class how you have this really special talent for making every person feel special. I left the class not feeling like a misfit and that I can really achieve optimal health. You have instilled such optimism and hope in me as I attain my goal to be 100% raw. My gratitude and best wishes are with you, Nancy M.
I don't know if you know this, but I travel to Rising Tide every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and many Saturdays, to purchase your food. Mostly because it's the only raw food Paul will eat. Every time I try to make something at home, he tells me he hates it. I told him, "fine," then I'm spending all the grocery money on Chris' food and you can eat every other day! And that's pretty much how it's going. In between raw food days he eats sunflower seeds, raw bars and gogi berries. We were there yesterday and he went crazy for your shepherd's pie. - Denise A.
Made rawvioli the other day with my new mandolin - also delish! Thank you so much for introducing me to raw. I am so loving it. Marilyn C.
Wow, the kale today was GREAT! Can you please make sure the same ingredients are in the orders for Friday? I'll take six pounds of kale for Friday. Wow, wow, wow. Amazing!- Scott G.
Hey Chris, I wanted to tell you that ever since I have been eating your curry kale salad and the pate? I have been becoming ?regular? and relieving my body of the constipation... I feel so much better my lower back pain is going away. Michael L.
Thanks for the great smoothies! I'm really enjoying them and notice a significant change in my recovery from intense workouts!!! As for the rawviolies please set aside six paks for tomorrow...any extra kale or sesame pate? Spencer G.
(For more info on Master Spencer G's martial arts training, click on the picture to the right or click here.
I just looked at {Chris'} site. I need to spend more time with it, but its very obvious he is convicted, and eh should be, we ( by we I mean those of us that live this life style) all know the power and benefits of the raw diet. His enthusiasm is contagious, and he cuts a great physique, and 100 % raw natural, and at 50, he/it is impressive. I definitely want to meet and talk with him sometime, maybe try to schedule a few classes with him. The guy is the real deal. Joe D.
If it wasn't for your food and motivation and training I would probably still have my breast cancer, but the doctor said that the tumor shrunk! He does not have a clue as to what I am doing (I try to explain), but she tells me to keep doing what I'm doing.You are doing amazing work and those of us benefiting from it are truly blessed.
Also, the carob fudge was delicious. I decided to save half of it for today but when I woke up this morning the other half was gone. I think my darling daughter took one look at it and decided it was too good not to eat. She was still asleep when I left the house this morning so I haven't had a chance to talk to her about it. I'm sure once I go raw she will be right behind me. Eileen H.
