Hope to see you there!

Over the past several months, we’ve been getting a question from many of our customers,

     “When are you going to do a raw food ‘cooking’ class?”

Well now to answer your question, on Sunday January 29th we have former Raw Aura chef Doug McNish coming to teach the raw food basics we all need to know to begin to really integrate this cuisine into our lives. The class we be held at 1pm for a total of three hours. In addition to the raw lifestyle basics, there are a number of recipes you will be stocked with to get you on your way including:

• nut/seed milk
• green smoothie
• kale salad with a creamy tahini dressing
• zucchini noodles in a tomato basil marinara sauce
• almond parmesan cheese
• red beet ravioli with a cashew ricotta and a red pepper marinara sauce
• chocolate avocado mousse
• berry cashew cheesecake squares

We are very exited to be able to host this class for you. To book your reservation please call us at the restaurant at 905-891-2872 and leave us your details and credit card number. The cost of the class is going for $100 all-inclusive. Due to high demand we ask that there are no cancellations one week prior to January 29th.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

This Sunday, December 18th, 2011, will be Raw Aura’s last Sunday of the year we are open. It’s been a pleasure to be able to open this extra day a week since June, but until next spring we are returning back to our old schedule.

Monday – Closed

Tuesday – 12pm-9pm

Wednesday – 12pm-9pm

Thursday – 12pm-9pm

Friday – 12pm-10pm

Saturday – 12pm-10pm

Sunday – Closed

We apologize for any inconveniences this may cause. We are very appreciative of the length of travel some our customers do to be able to dine at Raw Aura. We hope this doesn’t deter you from any future visits, thank-you.

See you soon.

Melancthon Township is at a critical turning point. We have to act now if we want to save 2316 acres of our land. Our own Credit, Humber, and Grand rivers are equally threatened since this vast quarry is planned to be constructed at the headwaters of these very rivers.

How can we help, stop the threat and stop the quarry?

There are at least a couple of things we recommend:

1. Join the gathering! In Honeywood, Ontario of Melancthon Township on 4 of the farms that refused to sell out, a whopping 20,000 people and 70 of Ontario’s chefs will gather in a tasting of local food to raise awareness and support our native land. The gathering is on October 16th, 2011. For more information visit www.canadianchefscongress.com.
2. Write a letter! Apparently this magnitude of quarry doesn’t qualify for a full Environmental Assessment, only an approval by the Ministry of natural resources is required under the Aggregate Resources Act at this time. We would recommend secondly to write a letter to the Minister of the Environment, John Wilkinson, to request the full Environmental Assessment.

Doug McNish, remember him? Of course you do and he’s back at Raw Aura to share with you, taste!  You don’t have to take our word for it, check it out for yourself.

Now that Pavlov’s dogs are barking, now would be the best time to secure your seat at Doug McNish’s tasting. Raw Aura will be hosting this great event on Saturday July 30th.

The cost is $60 pp with an optional wine pairing for $20, or a blueberry grapefruit superfood elixr with E3 live and mesquite  for $10.

RSVP by phone [905-891-AURA(2872)]. Seats are filling fast, so the sooner you book the better. Since seating is limited there are two tastings:

• one at 6:00pm (have to be out by 8:00pm)
• and one at 8:00pm.

We are super excited to have Doug back for this occasion, and we would love to have you share in this delicious experience. See you July 30th for Doug McNish at Raw Aura!

Reduce our carbon footprint!

Congestion does not only occur in our lungs, it occurs in our streets. Everyday our city is subject to a large quantity of air pollution caused by vehicles.  A study put out by Dr. David McKeown – medical officer of health for Toronto Public Health – in 2004 estimated 1,700 premature deaths were occurring a year related to air pollution in the city of Toronto (resource link).

 

 

 

Good thing there are shows like this one. The Eco-Wheels show on this weekend held at The Distillery District in Toronto is here to provide alternatives to burning fuel. From hybrid vehicles to electric scooters, this exhibition will expose us all to a wide variety of alternatives that are available to us today. Did we mention admission is free?
