"Hi! I'm Nili Nathan and I am here with raw food chef, Rachel Carr and we are at the restaurant called Cru in Silver Lake, Los Angeles. Hi Rachel. Hi Nili. How are you? Good. Thank you for letting me come back into your kitchen and discovering all your secrets to prepare these exotic raw food cuisine. Before we begin the cooking series, I want to ask you a couple of questions. You distinguish yourself from raw food with vegan. Why not say that you are a raw food restaurant? Well Nili, there are a lot of raw foodist that consider themselves raw but they also eat meat and raw dairy products and all kinds of other things that vegans wouldn't normally eat. I consider myself to be a raw vegan so that means that any like cheese or milk that we make is derived from nuts and seeds and not from animal products. What about raw food being live food? Is there something to distinguish raw from live food. Well there is. Living foods would be considered more of things that are sprouted and are in the state of actually being a live so it is a little bit more alive than just like a vegetable. So sprouts and different kinds of seeds that have been sprouted and sprouted grains and things like that. So how long have you been working at Cru? We've been opened for two months now. We just started. Great! The next thing that Rachel is going to show us is what to do with the coconut which is great. I just bought one and I have no idea how to open it or get out the meat so that's going to be next."
