Well Fed On the Town

Kansas City, a town known for its barbecue and steaks, is going to be hosting an evening of raw cuisine and superfood smoothies on April 23rd from 6-9 pm.

Chef Heidi VanPelt-Belle, who has served raw and vegan cuisine to celebrities in her home in Los Angeles, CA, is now a Kansas City native and is establishing underground raw vegan cuisine like she used to make in LA.  To share her food with the city, she is hosting an eleven course raw cuisine tour of the world.  This exciting living food event will feature dishes from Japan, Thailand, Scotland, and the Carribbean, meaning there is something for anyone who is interested in adding healthy, delicious cuisine to their diet.  Dishes range from fruit sushi, paella fresco, tacos fresco con verde, and a rainbow cookie supreme.  The smoothies being served with the meals were introduced last Sunday at a Smoothie Soiree and include delicious superfoods like goji berries, acai, and maca.

Not only will the evening feature great food, there will also be live music, visual projections, and a soothing, rhythmic atmosphere perfect for enjoying delicious food.  Live artists will be there to commemorate the event with their artwork.  Also, there will be an art auction to excite the art community.

Chef VanPelt-Belle has worked in the culinary world for the past 15 years.  She is a certified nutrionist who helps counsel people on their nutritonal needs, she is a culinary instructor in the Kansas City area, and she is a reknowed food product developer responsible for several vegan products you can find in stores.

Those interested in attending can RSVP online only at WWW.MEETUP.COM/SOLFUD/  Participants should know that living food is made from raw, plant-based ingredients, but does include raw tree nuts.
