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!

Hahahaaaa this is brilliant! I wish my staff meetings were like that! I can just picture my boss break out in song :D

These guys are hilarious!

Right, now that I've just about managed to forget about that gorgeous looking bread by RJ, I'm off to some breakfast (the vids made me sooooo hungry) and to buy some ninja gear and a poncho, coz it appears to be essential for appropriate raw food prep. So, what is I'm doing some Italian style food, what kind of gear should I be wearing then?

Anyway, thanks for sharing this Penni!! Cant wait for the movie (and that bread recipe...looks like I didnt forget about it after all).

Ha Ha! I had no idea that Russell was so crazy! That was seriously hilarious... (still chuckling:-)). He's so proper and direct in his raw vids. Thanks for sharing.

[Penni]

Oh - Lisa, he's a total hoot!  I had no idea either and I have been delighted by his wickedly wonderful sense of humor.  There are MANY facets to The Raw Food Chef!!!

I attended 2 classes by Russell James in NYC in April.  He is the best - he's my favorite raw uncookbook author!!!

[Penni]

No, this is a newly created bread that he will be sharing in his upcoming educational series.  It will be worth the wait!!

Looks like you're having a swell time with the lads. Average Joe and the camera man are fun to watch!

Ok now, that looked like too much fun to be called work.  Glad you had such creative company while filming, Penni.
