Raw Tapas Brunch at Peña Pachamama Feb 18th

 

Dearest Friends and Raw Food Lovers,

 

 

 

I wanted to personally invite you to brunch next Sunday in North Beach.

I've put together a delicious live/raw/vegan/organic/local/seasonal tapas

brunch menu (plus warm soup, quinoa, and Bolivian Salteñas)

which we'll be serving up at Peña Pachamama, from 10:30am - 3:30 pm on

Sunday, February 18th. Peña Pachamama is a magical restaurant and music club

that's welcomed me to kick off their organic vegan Sunday brunches. The

restaurant is located at 1630 Powell Street, between Union and Green in San

Francisco.

 

 

 

San Francisco now has a new healthy and delicious dining option on Sunday

mornings, and I'd be thrilled if you can join us for this very special 1st

day. With your support, this will be the first of many organic vegan Sunday

brunches at Peña Pachamama, where together we can all eat well, support

local sustainable agriculture, and push forward our goals of healthful

nutrition, environmental awareness and social justice by offering gourmet

cuisine with a purpose to our community.

 

 

 

This is the first time I've served my own food in a restaurant, and I'm glad

to be offering some of my most popular dishes, as well as some new editions

to my repretoir. Many of my creations for this meal are Latin-themed, as

we'll be dining in a Bolivian tapas restaurant. The meal will be served dim

sum style, on small plates - so you can come for just a taste, or eat your

heart out. Everything on the menu is made fresh, with lots of love, and the

majority of the ingredients will be coming direct from the farmer's market

the same weekend.

 

 

 

As many of you know, I scour the local farmers markets, organic wholesalers

and health-food dispensaries to find the best and freshest materials to

create my inventive and original live-food recipes. You may also know that

this is more than just food to me- it's also my creative extension of my own

healing process, as raw foods has helped me overcome some immense health

challenges and has brought renewed vibrancy and excitement to my life. It

is my hope that some of my enthusiasm may wear off on to you through an

enjoyable meal and the sensation of rejuvenation and joy that comes from

eating living foods.

 

 

 

I'm pleased to be joined in the kitchen and on the floor by some of my

friends from Back to Earth Organic Catering as well as the staff of Peña

Pachamama. It will be our pleasure to see you and serve you next Sunday.

Please feel free to bring your friends, family and sweethearts, and spread

the word to anyone you know who may be interested in this unique and

enriching dining opportunity.

 

 

 

Hope to see you there,

 

 

 

Sam Lippman
