What's Cooking on 1060: "Electric" Dessert
By Hadas Kuznits
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Some desserts can make you feel good. A so-called "electric" dessert course is being held this Saturday and Sunday, August 13 and 14 in West Philadelphia.
Chef Azru Soni explains "electric" means raw; and when you create dishes from foods in their most natural form, he says you can feel pretty amazing.
"People, when they're used to eating desserts, it's actually ingredients that are toxic for the body, so by making raw desserts, the food that you're eating is actually healthy for you but it's still delicious."
He and Chef Ashe Selah will be hosting a $150, two-day dessert course at the One Art Community Center in West Philadelphia:
"So we're going to be preparing raw donuts. We're going to be using a dehydrator, we're going to also be preparing raw avocado lime tarts."
Chef Selah says all of their recipes are inspired by their garden.
"Once we gather up all the herbs and the greens and the fruits, we'll go and bring it to the cafe and we'll lay it out and kind of experiment with these different things!"
"These are the type of foods that when they enter your body, digest properly, metabolize properly, you're not constipated, they flow through your body properly and give you the right energy."
Chef Soni says food can be like medicine -- or poison.
"Because food has a big effect on your mood, your energy, the thoughts that you have, everything. So like, when you're eating raw foods, it really raises the vibrations in your body."
