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

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.

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.

Melancthon Township

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.

    Hon. John Wilkinson, Minister Ministry of Environment
    11th Floor Ferguson Block
    77 Wellesley St. West
    Toronto, ON M7A 2T5
    Jwilkinson.mpp.co@liberal.ola.org
    416-314-6790

Local food is definitely important to us here at Raw Aura. We would surely be disappointed to see such waste of valuable water and farm land. Here are some more links to help us better understand the severity of the proposed Melancthon Quarry:
Sincerely,
Raw Aura
