    Who is The Green Boheme?

    The Green Boheme is Brooke Preston and Melanie Halajian. Brooke is a certified Raw Culinary Arts Associate Chef and Instructor. She received her certification from the Living Light Culinary Institute in Fort Bragg www.rawfoodchef.com studying under Cherie Soria, Living Light’s founder and “the mother of raw gourmet cuisine.” Living Light is known internationally as the premier raw organic vegan chef school in the world. Brooke is passionate about raw foods and is excited to share her knowledge about preparing delicious and nutritious meals using local organic produce. Attend one of her “Why Raw?” talks or Raw Foods Preparation Classes and experience her energy and enthusiasm for yourself. 

    Melanie is an aspiring raw foods chef with extensive knowledge of nutrition and the effects of diet on health. A vegan for 5 years, Melanie recently converted to a raw foods diet and is enjoying the benefits of greater energy and the amazing variety of flavorful foods available to enjoy as a raw food vegan. Melanie has attended the Science of Raw Nutrition course taught by the Raw Food Doctors™www.rawfooddoctors.com offered at the Living Light Culinary Institute. She enjoys sharing this knowledge to empower others to make informed choices about what they put in their bodies.

    The Green Boheme is about promoting the living foods lifestyle through Why Raw? talks, demonstrations, hands-on classes and, of course, through preparing incredible raw food creations that taste out of this world. We promote the philosophy of eating fresh local, organic products that follow the seasons. This approach not only supports the local economy, but reduces the carbon footprint associated with shipping produce from other areas. We seek out farmers that employ sustainable agriculture and are committed to providing quality products for your eating enjoyment.

     At the Green Boheme we desire to create a culture of community. Our desire is to have fun while sharing a message of better health, longevity and well being through the raw vegan diet. We believe there is no better diet available to preserve the enzymes in foods, provide the nutrients and the raw building materials the body needs to function efficiently and heal itself. We hope to touch many lives with the message of “returning to the Garden” and experiencing the difference of eating the way our bodies were designed.

    Ma sarap!

    by a, Wednesday 26 of November, 2008 (19:03:47)

    The thanksgiving meal was so delicious!  My husband and I had it this evening and we are in love with the Portobello mushroom topped with the amazing stuffing and mock mashed potatoes! Wow, as if it couldn’t get any better, the cranberry relish was so yummy. The salad was wonderful.  The apple pie topped with sweet vanilla cream was the best I have had in a long time.  The portions were perfect and such a bargain for being organic and raw!  Brooke you and your team really know what you are doing when you un-cook that food. It is a true work of art and we will definitely be coming back to try all of your lovely treats!  Thanks! Gracias! Salamat Po! 

    Loved the food and I'm not a vege...

    by Julia, Tuesday 28 of October, 2008 (14:21:26)

    My family and I placed our oder last week conveniently via email and picked up our order at their pick up window, which is right across from co-op parking lot in the big white state building.

    The food was delicious and the most sophisticated raw food I've ever experienced. We had the vege dish over “rice” and the “burger” that came with these very delicious sauces.  Part of the fun when eating this food is trying to figure out what it is and how it was made.  It’s a another  level of utilizing foods that’s really new to me. They seem to extract the essence of each food  and every bite is full of flavor and wholesome goodness. I generally eat everything including meat so having raw vegan food exposes me to a whole new world that I’m pretty excited about. We’ll certainly be coming back for more. I also highly recommend their macaroons and chocolate ice cream!!

     

    Tasty appetizer for what's to come …

    If the appetizers that Green Boheme provided for the Midtown Mixer this month are any indication, Sacramento is in for a real treat with this new business! I can't wait for Green Boheme to open so I can sample some more of her delicious raw recipes.

    A New Life

    If you have ever wanted to see the true power of a healthy diet and beautiful outcome, take a look at Brooke for one moment. She is the perfect example of what one can achieve through a great diet. I met her for the first time recently and was so impressed. She is smart, beautiful, talented and hard working. Green Boheme deserves all the success in the world. It is hard for me to imagine not biting into a juicy BBQ burger with an onion ring or dipping a piece of steak into some A1 sauce, but with Brookes help and guidance,those might become memories of the past.

    Sacramento needs to embrace this life style as a piece of all the other wonderful pieces to our great puzzle. We are the blood that flows through the heart of this central city. Green Boheme is surely going to make us flow more freely. Give Green Boheme a try. Knowing Brooke, you will not be dissapointed what so ever.

    delicious! Furl this! digg this! stumbleupon this!
