“Rich in vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, fiber & antioxidants, plant-based foods lower cholesterol and decrease the risk of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, kidney disease & obesity. Plant protein is more varied than meat protein and offers a much wider variety of options for creating innovative, healthful menus. Sophisticated vegan cuisine is the new frontier. There is so much undiscovered potential in this arena. The focus at Elizabeth’s Gone Raw is to create monthly a seven-course tasting dinner comprised of organic plant-based ingredients. It is our intention to offer the public an indulgent healthy dining experience, visually exciting, sensual and provocative.”
