Live Food Cuisine History

Live Food Cuisine was founded by Joseph Lucier.  He is also the founder of Raw New England Community which started as a small idea to bring communities of New England Raw foodists together. With the help and support of other pot lucks and event holders, it has blossomed into a wonderful community of people.

He has been a vegetarian for over 25 years, including 8 years as a live food vegan. He attended a 5 day intensive Living On Live Foods Preparation class at Chef Alissa Cohen's center in Florida 8 years ago. That class gave him the momentum to do healthy, interesting and delicious live food. It transformed his life and he has been raw ever since. He is now also an Alissa Cohen Living on Live Foods Chef, Instructor and Teacher.

With vibrant fresh whole foods and the abundance of great recipes, he has been able to continue eating 100% raw and living foods and offer advice to others to start on this great journey.

He not only loves raw food and the Live Foods Lifestyle, he also promotes the idea of sharing this great food with everyone and bringing the raw community together. He teaches Raw Foods Classes as well as Chef and Teacher Certifications. He also promotes vegan living foods in his home region of New England with his community website www.RawNewEnglandCommunity.com, where he sends out a monthly newsletter with articles and recipes and also lists New England events like pot lucks, classes, book tours, raw food restaurants and vendors.
