Roxanne's Fine Cuisine

A few days ago I came across a raw food brand Roxanne’s Fine Cuisine food range in a local supermarket in Fort Bragg. The brand has been developed by Roxanne Klein from California, well known for her outstanding raw cuisine in the US and apparently an ex student at Living Light (yeah). I was feeling very excited about buying raw food produce like this, off the shelf in the supermarket and bought her garlic onion nutmilk cheeze and chocolate raw energee squares. They were absolutely fabulous and went down a storm back in the Living Light Inn.

Two days later we decided to get some more raw goodies from Roxanne’s range only to find the shelf had been cleared leaving only some of the less perishable items. I spoke to the store assistant and was told this brand was not selling so well in their store and they will no longer be supplying her products for now. I was gutted.

There was nothing wrong with the food itself. By far it was absolutely delicious. It may have been a little bit pricier than your standard cheese and chocolate candy’s, but the nutritional value and purity of these products over takes any standard cheese or chocolate. I can only think this is an indication to us, the general public, are still far from understanding what raw food is all about. If more people realised what raw food can do for our health, Roxanne’s products and other products like these would take central stage (or shelf) much more in our supermarkets. I would love to see more these products sold in my local supermarkets and we need to start asking for more raw produce in our local shops. But I also think the raw word needs to be spread much more to support these products in the future. I am thankful for places like Living Light who are teaching so many instructors and chefs to spread the raw food word all over the world. I reckon it is only time before it will explode. Keep it up Roxanne.

I bought some of her goji energy cubes at a Whole Foods in San Francisco and it tasted quite rancid...I think they must have had quality control issues.

Oh that's a shame, I must admit I have never tried her goji energy cubes. It is harder to find Roxanne's foods in the UK. Maybe you should send them back and let her know your views?
