The Bite:
imageWanna go au natural? On your dinner plate, we mean. Let "living foods" expert and chef Mehmet Ak (who, incidentally, dropped 70 lb during a raw food detox) show you how to make a spicy kale salad or a batch of power-packed brownies worth swooning over. Check out one of Mehmet's series of free - yes, free - upcoming cooking classes at Whole Foods Market in Lincoln Park. Or dive into one of the chef's intensive all-day workshops at his vegan and organic living foods restaurant, Cousin's Incredible Vitality, and learn how to make delish food without high-temp cooking, which depletes nutrients and energy (both the kind we use to metabolize food and the kind we use to heat it up). Bare ambition never felt so good.
Wanna Try: 
Raw Foods Class; Feb 12 at Whole Foods Market Lincoln Park; 1000 W. North Ave. (312-587-0648).
Raw Chef Curriculum I; Feb 9 at Cousin's Incredible Vitality; 3038 W. Irving Park Road (773-478-6868). All-day class, $195.

Cocktail Fact

Six hundred bikers rode nude through Chicago's West Side last June for the World Naked Bike Ride, a demonstration to protest oil dependency. 

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 Chicago Biters eat only raw foods for their next meal, we'll save almost enough energy to power two homes for a year.

Hi My name is Stacey and I am a fellow raw food chef. I am coming to Chicago in August and hosting a raw food class in River North on Aug 6th at 6 pm. I was wondering if you would be willing to post a flier in your restaurant promoting my class if its not a conflict of interest for you. Also if you could give me some ideas of where I could advertise the class for free. Any ideas or help would be much appreciated as this is only a one time class. Thanks Stacey Weckstein, HHC AADP 954-288-9345 www.radiantmindandbody.com
