On Location w/ Russell James & Average Joe

[Penni]

Since Wednesday, I've been sequestered away with Russell James, his delightful girlfriend and the film crew for Average Joe on the Raw working on the documentary and Russell's innovative new educational instructional material. These are just a few of the little video clips I've managed to get along the way:

Russell James starting off Day One off with a team building power meeting:

Behind the scenes with Seth Hayhurst (Average Joe on the Raw) as he creates a personal raw lasagna after hands on instruction by The Raw Food Chef, Russell James.

Here is Average Joe opening a coconut, which can be tough, but he shows that when you can channel the spirit of the ninja or ancient samurai, it gets a tad easier. The treat that awaits you inside the nut of coco is a delight worth crack-a-lackin:

Today is our final day of filming together, so hopefully I can capture another clip or two to share with you! Wishing you an amazing weekend!!

PS - Last night we were up until after midnight perfecting Russell's most amazing recipe EVER.  Look at this:

This is the closest thing to "real bread" that I have ever tasted in the raw world. It had a springiness to it, which is what made it so amazing. We slowly dehydrated it at around 105 degrees F to maintain all the enzymes & nutrition. On top is an aged raw, vegan mozzarella cheese & these are just two of the innovative recipes that Russell has been perfecting for his new educational series that will be released in a couple of months. You KNOW that I will keep you all posted just as soon as I can share more specifics!  Just know that a very amazing, delicious and nutritious totally raw bread officially exists and is in your future!

It looks like you all were having a lot of fun!  And that bread looks so delicious.  Is it going to end up in a recipe collection?

[Penni]

Just to help clear up any confusion - We have been working on two separate projects:  the filming of Russell's newest Home Study Course, which will include the amazing bread and MANY other innovative and mouth watering recipes/instruction, etc. AND we filmed some scenes for the documentary Average Joe on the Raw as well (this is an ongoing project over 60 days).  These two are completely separate from one another - other than the fact that I work as Russell's sous chef on his projects and Russell and I are co-producing Average Joe on the Raw.  There is LOTS of wonderful creativity & LIFE flowing through the raw food world at this time.   I enjoy offering you all some of the inside scoop as it is happening.

Hopefully that makes sense : )
