Final Verdict
I have done many of the instructional videos on The Raw Chef Cooking Course and I strongly recommend this course as the best Raw Chef course available as it really teaches you the raw food concepts in a very basic and clear approach. You can request the entire curriculum or have it drip fed in a more manageable way ( I prefer this approach otherwise it could become overwhelming). Russel James has added a new dimension to my cooking and eating and I have felt the health benefits of eating raw food- it helped me to make good enough food that excited me and have enjoyed the process as opposed to relying on a self motivation to cook.
My family are already eating a far more healthy diet by me doing this course.
The course is viewable on Ipads and follows a logical and easy process to follow ( see above under the heading How Does The Raw Chef Work?).
