How would your own raw place look like?! (lunch, breakfest, diner, grandcafe...)

[LightLover]

I make a beginning:

* you could read many newspapers, magazines, they would be in order,
not just wildly spread like in the only comparable place in Amsterdam
(which is very good , only not at this point, and not raw)
There is a rawfood magazine

* there would be guest "uncooks". this forummembers will be invited
to make there recipes, life! Their forumnames will be named on the menulist
and on the tables on which there are brownies etc will you be able to read "RP", and other nicknames

* In the morning you can have diner, in the evening you can have breakfest,
there is no "time" anymore, everyone will be relaxed, without our so famous drugs.

* there would be a computer with entrance to rawfoodinfo, bioindustry etc.. with assistence.


* there will be a girl , se kisses you (on your cheek) if you have been raw for more than one week

You don't have to ask, she has the talent to feel if you are raw, or not ..

My ideal is:

An orchard full of tropical fruit trees where one can pick their own fruit.

This is the top of the scale, for me. Can't think of anything better than that.

The refrigirators would have transparant doors..nothing to hide..you could see
all the beautifull raw colours of the foods, and in corners you see people work with food so you get an idea how the food is being handled.

The entire thing would be a gigantic conservatory, complete with banana trees, coconut and date palms, citrus trees, a walk through herb and lettuce garden and seasonal fruit trees.

One part would be a walk-up window for casual dining, with casual seating both alfresco and indoor depending on the weather.

In the casual dining area, there would be a small area with computers only accessing raw related sites.

Another part would be a formal 5 star dining room where people could relax and be waited on in the most luxurious setting.

A thrid part would be a ballroom with a retracting sun roof, so on a beautiful summer night couples can literally be dancing under the stars. There would be various ballroom dancing and music which would revolve around the menu's theme (salsa, flemenco, swing, etc.)

The menu would be astonishingly versatile, from the simple mono-meal to the complex gourmet.

Nobody would be left out. If someone wanted a bowl of strawberries, they would receive the best, most luscious strawberries available. If someone wanted a quiche, they would get the richest and most intricately made quiche ever. From fresh squeezed orange juice to a shake loaded with different powders and obscure ingredients flown in from Peru, that's what would be available.

Every Friday night there'd be a theme (Mexican, Asian, American, Italian, etc.)

There would also be a store where one could buy ingredients and kitchen supplies at the best prices. Every single raw book would be available. There would be on-going recipe demonstrations at this store. There would also be seaparate work-shops on a weekly basis.

There would be several meetings rooms, some for lectures, some for work-shops and others for people wanting to meet in support groups.

There would be a children's area where kids could make their own meals by going through a food bar. The food bar would be available for anyone, but would be specifically for kids with different tastes.

There would be a dog park, where dogs could sniff around, yelp, go crazy and could go get a raw meal.

There would be a special cat room with fluffy pillows and catnip abound, where the freshest finest fish would be served to cats in crystal serving dishes.

There would be a quiet prayer and meditation room, and also a mother's nursing room, complete with small monitors and headphones - at all times playing different raw speakers, or they can choose to listen to soft music or nothing at all.

I think that is it. If there's anything more I can think of, I will add to it. LOL

A water floating RAW restaurant/resort.

It never stays in one place...........coming to a place near you.

They travel all over the world to get the freshest stuff. You can sit this futuristic like seat with an attachable table top and eat while floating on the water listening to music that is turned on with the switch on the side of the arm chair--while raw cuisines are prepared for you. There are also accomodating seating/table devices for more than one person! The tatami room float is excellent for parties!

Nightfall is near..........I lay on what appears to be a bed. I am sent out on the water with the moon light shining over me and the meditative music begins............this is medtation at its most highest. Floating on water and the night sky over you is amazing. I notice the floating lotus candles on the water and I am safe. What's also great about this, is if you are fasting or starting raw, they will send you out on the water so you will not crave the bad foods......they come back for you and the process is repeated until you are RAW satisfied

Next morning, Raw breakfast. Sunshining and bright raw fruits are served on a silver platter by waiters walking on a floating aisle to your table. ;)

all of you better invite me to the grand opening of all these extraordinary ideas

[KindnessToAllCreatures]

My ideal raw place would double as an animal sanctuary for rescued animals, to love and be loved by. They would come and go as they pleased, knowing they are, and will always be, free from harm.

I might as well have called the thread: "how would your raw heaven look""?

A private island, with tropical fruit trees growing, you come for the day, night, weekend or week, stay as long as you like walk the beaches, nude, swim, pick fresh fruit, play, do yoga, do anything.


There would be video that you could watch of raw information.

all books on raw and the lifestyle would be available to read and borrow while you were there.

There would be a swimming area where you could swim with the fish and dolphins that lived because no one caught them or hurt them, animals would roam free and eat with you of the fruits and berries growing.

You could climb a coconut tree, or pick your own bananas, you could sit back and be served on the white crystal sand beaches, or get a massage, or foot rub, Reiki or reflexology.

You could say you wanted a mono meal of fruits, a green smoothie or a fabulous gourmet 5 star meal with all the truffle trimmings, and receive it in a heart beat.

There would be gentle music playing, and many rooms, each with it's own theme you would have a personal chef just for you and a wait staff for you only.

The theme in your room would be the theme of the food, tropical with music and dancing girls/men

Indian with curry and dancers

Mexican with salsa and great music

Italian with marinara and all the beautiful flavors

American with it's fresh herbs and corn

etc.

All you do is show up, and let us know what you want and we make it happen.

this is my dream life!!

and if not this life, then the next or the next, there is no rush in perfection in the Universe.

I love everyone's ideas, they are so great!!!
