I have learnt most of my raw food techniques from other chefs. I am so grateful for the internet as I have been able to access loads of free recipes and watch how to do them online. I highly recommend watching videos on how to create raw food especially when you are using equipment you are unfamiliar with. Below is a list of raw chefs and raw "gurus". Over time I will be posting blogs about each of them.
