Please bring a raw food dish of your choice to serve 8 people making

sure to

review the guidelines for food below.

*********** Guidelines for Food ***********

Please prepare your dishes with raw, organic (at least

pesticide/herbicide

free), vegetarian (vegan - no animal products) ingredients. Nothing

cooked,

steamed, baked or otherwise heated above 105 degrees is appropriate for

this

potluck. Dehydrated foods and dried fruits are fine as long as they

have

been prepared within the temperature guideline above. Tofu and most

seaweeds

are not raw foods. Please pay attention to what might go into your

dish;

oils, vinegar, spices, salt...is it raw, healthy, etc. Could it be

added

later at the potluck by those who want it?

Some attendees have been on the raw path for 20+ years so we must

adhere to

these seemingly strict guidelines. There are some wonderful raw foods

cookbooks available at the local health food stores for new ideas, or

you

can go to www.living-foods.com for lots of great recipes. Beautiful

leafy

greens and veggies presented in a wide variety of (raw) ways are always

a

winner. Be creative, enjoy yourself and have fun! If in doubt - leave

it

out! Call or email if you need ideas or have questions.

******* Plates and Silverware *******

Please bring your own plate and silverware. Not only is it ecologically

beneficial, it's a much more pleasing dining experience.

Directions: Aldersgate Church is in San Rafael, Marin County,

California. It
