    TESTIMONIALS
    Testimonials from August 08 - The program was excellent and gave me exactly what I need to go home and prepare these entrée's, etc. in my own kitchen. I feel confident now about what I can do, such as use my dehydrator better and be more creative with all types of vegetables, spices and herbs.
    I found it all thoroughly enjoyable and just what I needed to expand my potential. There was excellent technical instruction, and explanations were so thorough. Well organized and well done, the view and space are superb!
    Thank you for sharing your experience, knowledge and all the short cuts. Continued success to you. ~ Karen Seiden

    Prior Testimonials
    I just took my first Raw Home Chef class with Rawbert and now I'm hooked! His demure confidence mixed with wit and talent (he can sing too!) were topped off with a variety of healthy, appealing, intensely flavored creations. Rawb's passion and energy are infectious. His goal is to share his zest and skill with all. Can't wait to take the next class on Thanksgiving Dinner. ~ Laurie Cohen, Marblehead

    ***********************
    Dear Rawbert, Thank you so much for your wonderful class on Monday. Your openness and generosity really touched me. I have rarely experienced such love and devotion to help as you showed. You held nothing back. Your ability to inspire and motivate us to take this raw food experience to heart touch all of us at the table. I speak for us all I'm sure when I say THANK YOU.

    I have used many of the recipes you showed us already and find that a little goes a long way. I make as much as if I was going to eat as much as if it were cooked. What a mistake. I made too much. This raw food is so satisfying and I need to trust that and eat less. I'm not as hungry as soon either. I have renewed hope that my body will balanced itself out with the raw diet.

    Thank you for all your tips and time tested recipes. I'm in heaven. Your dedication to the cafe and to your followers is truly gift to us all. Thank you doesn't seem enough...... Much love, Susanne Russo

    ***********************
    Dear Rawbert, Thank you so much for another good class. You are a real creative artist with alternative ways of eating. Given my food allergies and other health challenges, you are a real Godsend! Since the last class, I have been following your suggestions on increasing protein through using smoothies with good results. Thank you for all the wonderful new recipe ideas as well as instructions on sprouting and the use of seaweed. Also appreciate the information on food-combining and using the dehydrator. Blessings to you for all your efforts to educate us. ~ Marilyn Brown

    Walk away extremely confident to chef at home for self, friends & family or ready to step into a raw kitchen! Keep in mind, even the best 3 day (or even 3 week) program in the world, cannot replace years of experience in a kitchen, and one should always use the term 'raw chef' lightly, as 'chef' literally translates to Head of the Kitchen and is reserved in the real world for people who have years of experience, training, & supervisory abilities.

    Raw Knowledge includes principles of:
    · Raw nutrition, raw medicinal diet, good digestion, proper food combining, detox/cleansing/fasting,
    · Truly natural hygiene, body & beauty care, balancing through the seasons with understanding of ayurvedic and oriental health systems
    · Lifestyle and the 8 keys to optimal health (incl. Sleep, sunlight, air, water, exercise, etc)
    · Underlying causes of disease, microbiology of the blood, acid/alkaline balance,
    · Long term success on rawfoods, refining as you go, the social/emotional spiritual transition

    Attendees are the first to receive 'Rawbert's Whole Life & Raw Chef Manual', the basis for the first 2 books Rawbert will be releasing: 'Vibrant Recipes from the Organic Garden' and 'Secret's to Successful Raw Lifestyle'. While this program provides an excellent base for further study and becoming a teacher or coach of raw lifestyle & cooking, many people who attend chef certification courses simply desire the skills/knowledge for their own family & personal transformation. If you are looking to become a teacher in the future, this program (a pre-requisite for Rawbert's Level 2 Teacher Training) will have you passionate & confident in your knowledge and skill base, 2 important foundations for being a great teacher!

    For over 12 years, Rawbert Reid has been the Foremost Raw Foods Advocate & Premier Master Raw Chef in New England.

He was the first to bring other raw food authorities, such as David Wolfe (a dozen events for David alone, 5 at OG Café), Juliano, Victoria Boutenko, Viktoras Kulvinskas, Doug Graham, Dr. Fred Bisci, Paul Nisson, Nomi Shannon, Loren Lockman, Tonya Zavasta, Chad Sarno, Gabriel Cousens, Brian Clement and others to New England countless times.

    Robert has been accumulating knowledge of nutrition, natural healing and holistic lifestyle, including microbiology, Ayurveda and Oriental Health Systems for 15 years.

    Robert's Holistic Certifications include:
    1. Certified Nutritional Microscopist (C.N.M.) - Nutritional Live (and Dried) Blood Analysis with Darkfield & Phase Contrast Microscopes - Micheal Coyle, Boulder School of Natural Healing

    MORE About Rawbert:
    · Robert is chef/founder of Organic Garden Cafe now in it's 9th Year of operation.
    · Robert is well rounded athlete, runner, surfer, and is an accomplished musician and songwriter
    · Robert graduated Bentley College in Waltham in 1986 with a B.S. Degree in Accountancy, worked as a tax manager for 15 years in the Financial District downtown Boston for a multi-million dollar leasing company and nearly completed his Masters in Taxation from Suffolk University (career change - OG Cafe opened) .
    · Robert's holistic journey started over 15 years ago with the illness of a close loved one and took him deep into a whole new world of; organic food, sustainable living, natural hygiene, juicing, fasting & natural detoxification, yoga & meditation, live blood analysis, and the wisdom of ancient Chinese and Indian (Ayurveda) health systems. While reading over a hundred books and networking with holistic healers, he was ultimately lead to experiment with very high levels of raw foods as the basis of his diet. He soon realized the rejuvenating and restorative power that living nutrients and enzymes offer the body and how vibrant he could feel again! While he had gained a great respect for holistic medicine & natural healing, he knew at that time he had to dedicate his life to teaching others with raw nutrition and lifestyle at the core.
    · Robert conducted over a dozen full day Whole Life Rawfood seminars over the 4 years before the restaurant was opened in 1999, and started a small mail order company similar to Nature First Law - David Wolfe's company. (closed the mail order and opened Organic Garden Cafe)
    · Robert has offered dozens of Classes/series at Organic Garden over the years intended to cover many of the basics of raw food chef work.
    · Robert also offered Nutritional and Whole Life Counseling, combined with Life Blood Analysis (microscopy) prior to opening Organic Garden
    · Robert established the first raw food potlucks in the area over 10 years ago and spoke tirelessly to various health orientated organizations and at health expos.
    · Robert (and often with wife Annette) have experimented with nearly every form of fasting and cleansing, including 2 weeks on "the Grape Cure", an 11 day Spiritual Juice Fast on Mt. Shasta, CA with Gabriel Cousens, a 14 Day Fast on Coconut Water in Aruba, and many other shorter juice and water fasts.
    · Robert has also been studying for over 12 years ancient spiritual texts from Judeo Christian Kabbalah and Essene Wisdom to Buddhist, Taoist (Chinese), Chi Kung, Vedic (Hindu), Yogananda, Native American as well as new age teachers on Law of Attraction, Personal Empowerment & Enlightenment (Ester Hicks/Abraham-Hicks, Tony Robbins, Andrew Cohen, etc.)
    · Robert has attended 5 consecutive annual (Jan 2004 - Jan 2008) 10 Day Meditation Courses at the Vipassana Meditation Center in Shelburne, MA. These are serious courses in complete silence (unless a question for teacher or personal need comes up), where the original and most important non-religious meditation teachings of the Gotama Buddha are taught, reinforced and practiced, in a simple austere, non-ritualistic environment. In this place of deep retrospection one is also able to analyze all of one's routines and habits, including those around diet and especially 'HOW TO EAT', sleep and mindfulness.
