Raw Desserts Workshop!

Julia from Julia Creations

Hello! I am a plant-based chef and hatha yoga instructor, and I wanted to let you know about an upcoming workshop I'll be teaching, which will be a yummy, healthy, and educational evening centered around raw desserts! Learn about some health benefits of eating raw foods, such as preserving powerful enzymes, fiber, and vitamins, along with a variety of simple yet delicious raw dessert preparation techniques featuring chocolate and fruit, such as Chocolate Bark, Chocolate Avocado Mousse, Superfood Chocolate Clusters, Fudge-A-Roons, Pistachio Cranberry Cookies, Lime Chia Pudding, Vanilla "Ice Cream," Strawberry Mousse Pie with Almond Tart Crust, and Tropical Fruit Tart! Learn how to make all the desserts and then we will taste them all together as well. You will also receive the recipes so that you can recreate these treats at home, without needing to acquire lots of special equipment!

This will take place on Wednesday, the 15th of November, from 6:30-8:30 pm at the Space Academy. $30 per person to cover the workshop, space, and ingredients. Please register ahead through the Facebook event link below. Child friendly (extra tickets and registrations not required for children), and beverages not included but available from the Space Academy Bar.

I also prepare personal chef meals, do catering and cakes, and teach yoga classes, as well as private cooking lessons, if anyone is ever interested in those! Thanks so much, and happy Friday! :)

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.
