Someone You Should Know - Russell James (Giveaway #8)

[Penni]

Russell James has been hailed as 'the UK's leading raw chef' by TheTimes. He honed his natural ability to create incredible raw cuisine by training with the top raw chefs in the world. This included regular visits to the US to raw food 'hot-spots'such as California, NewYork where he worked with Matthew Kenney...at The Plant.

“Russell James joined our team at The Plant for an extended visit, and on every level, he is a true professional; talented and creative, and a pleasure to work with. I particularly admire his dedication to raw food cuisine, and his unwavering interest in its forward movement.We continue to miss him (and his kale salad!)"– Matthew Kenney 2007.

Russell has done many large scale private catering gigs and this is what David Wolfe had to say of Russell after an event he catered for David's 's UK retreat in Dorset...
"I was very impressed with Russell James' raw and living foods cuisine. He's a pleasure to work with and is absolutely a rising culinary star."

Russell also worked with the UK's raw and living food , The Fresh Network in the execution of monthly raw dinner parties in Cambridgeshire and London a few years ago. He also regularly appears in their quarterly publication, Get Fresh.

Most recently Russell is here in the US and has taken the position as guest instructor in residence at 105degrees' Culinary Academy in Oklahoma City. You'll be able to read more about his thoughts on all of that in the upcoming issue of Purely Delicious Magazine!

Russell's mission is to show you that far from feeling restricted on a raw food diet, you have an abundance of options; whether that's being able to eat raw sandwiches all week or to put on a show-stopping dinner party for friends.
