6 WHY WORK WITH ME? All modesty aside, if you ve tried any of my recipes already you ll know that everything I make is delicious first and raw second. If you haven t tried any of my recipes, you can try any of the free recipes on my website to get a flavour (sorry, no pun intended) of the kind of food I make. Since 2005, I tried to eat a high raw diet, but I kept returning to my most favourite cooked foods. What changed things for me was learning how to make the most amazing and delicious raw foods that taste so good that people don t even think about the fact that they are raw. I pride myself on making raw twists on cooked classics, and my family and friends prefer the raw foods I make, finding them much more satisfying and full of flavour. I have also developed 8 course raw tasting menus for pop ups and other events and had the pleasure of being a personal chef for private fine dining clients. I trained as a Chef with Matthew Kenney Culinary in the US (previously named 105 degrees), and I am a Qualified Chef in Advanced Raw and Living Cuisine. I am one of very few people in the world to have completed Matthew s Professional Applications programme. What that means for you is that I can teach you some pretty cool techniques. If you don t know Matthew, he founded Pure Food and Wine in New York and MAKE in Santa Monica, and currently has Plant Food and Wine in Venice, CA, White Lotus Miami and The Gothic in Belfast Maine. I worked at the Gothic in Maine after my training and can also bring to our work the experience of a professional kitchen. Matthew also has a string of raw food books to his credit. I really am proud to say that I have trained with the best.

To work with Deborah has been one of my greatest experiences since starting with raw cuisine. She is truly a Raw Food Wizard, with an intricate knowledge and intuition when it comes to raw food!

And I went back home not only with binders full of delicious recipes, but with so much additional information and insight. I am still in awe about what I learned in just a few days.

7 To work with Deborah has been one of my greatest experiences since starting with raw cuisine. She is truly a Raw Food Wizard, with an intricate knowledge and intuition when it comes to raw food! I was fortunate enough to attend her DESSERT training in 2013 and FEAST in And I went back home not only with binders full of delicious recipes, but with so much additional information and insight. I am still in awe about what I learned in just a few days. Deborah is a wonderful, warm and vibrant person, and she is very passionate when it comes to preparing and presenting food. And she is able to infuse us with this passion. She cares about our progress and is able to share all her knowledge in a simple and easy way, thus allowing each and every one to follow along, be it raw food novice or seasoned raw food enthusiast. I loved the open, relaxed atmospheres during the courses. Thank you Deborah, you are a wonderful teacher. ~ Monika Wacker, Switzerland I am still in awe about what I learned in just a few days...

8 The training will be led by Deborah Durrant, a qualified chef in advanced raw and living cuisine. Deborah combined her interests as a lifelong passionate foodie with a keen interest in a raw plant-based diet to found Deliciously Raw. After working in the creative sector for 25 years she followed her dream to train as a chef at the Matthew Kenney Culinary School and wants to break the myth that raw food is about eating boring salad and show you can enjoy fabulously indulgent food with many nutritional benefits. Deborah holds a Masters degree in Change Skills from the University of Surrey. This may seem surprising but this is at the heart of Deborah s practice as a chef. With every healthy plantbased bite that we eat, we are committing to making a change to our health and wellbeing. MEET YOUR TRAINER

14 Praise for Deborah... By attending Feast, I now have all the knowledge of what equipment to use. I know how to adapt recipes to suit my own taste and I ve learned the skills to present elegant plates of food. Deb is a relaxed trainer, clearly passionate about what she does and willing to share her secrets to make raw food delicious. This is the best start to raw food imaginable. I now have the confidence to invite friends round for raw dinner parties and can t wait! I ll certainly be attending more of Deb s Deliciously Raw courses! Sara Sanderson, UK Deborah is not only teaching us to make DELICIOUS recipes, but we are learning to create our own "signature" recipes... Well she's showing us how to be a Chef, not only a "cook! I just LOVED both training DESSERTS & FEAST. Count on me for level II! Carole Zuccatti, Geneva, Switzerland

16 Praise for Deborah... I have to admit I felt slightly guilty investing in Deb Durrant s Feast Course. As I was already a Certified Raw Food Chef could I justify it to myself and more importantly my partner? I really wasn t sure what I d get out of the course especially as Deb had already given me loads of free advice. Sod it. I loved Deb and her food and wanted to go. So I went anyway. What I got was an amazing 5 days in a really tranquil setting surrounded by like minded people. All I had to do was enjoy myself messing with food, playing with ideas with no pressure to create the perfect product. It was just indulgent playtime. It is so worthwhile investing, time, money and energy sharing with people who are on a similar path. An unfamiliar ingredient is mentioned and a whole knew train of thought is generated. A huge unexpected gain was learning about the fine dining aspect of raw food. I had sort of dismissed it as not really being for me and not something I could use in my own business. How wrong was I? I loved the plating and realised how incredibly useful it is. Anyone who is selling food needs to be able to make it look good. Have you seen some of Deb s photos? She knows how to do it and although it might take a bit more practice before I can kneel at her photographic altar I now have some idea. Thanks Deb. Loved it. Rosie Tait,

17 Location... Bath: Demuths Cookery School is based in the centre of Bath in a wonderful Georgian building, with a modern purpose built kitchen, light and airy and with stunning views of Bath Abbey and Parade Gardens. Bath is a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its Georgian architecture and Roman Baths. It is just 1 hour and 25 minutes from Paddington Station, London and the perfect location if you would prefer to come by public transport. There is also a direct bus from Heathrow Airport to Bath which runs 16 times a day, making Bath a great location if you are choosing to attend Feast and you live outside the UK. Gloucestershire: The Cookery School is a beautiful space with big picture windows overlooking rolling hills in the borders of Gloucestershire and Herefordshire adjacent to a farm shop and artists studios. With the ancient Forest of Dean on your doorstep and only a few miles from Wales and the breath-taking Wye Valley, if you would like to make this part of a longer stay, I can recommend local cottages and accommodation. Due to the location of Harts Barn Cookery School, it is advisable for you to bring a car so you can get the most out of visiting this beautiful and rural location..
