What should I say?! Amazing!!! I am so happy that I did this course. Before the course I didn’t know a lot about raw food, but now I know much more and it’s even more interesting than I thought. Every module is great. This course motivated me every day more and more and gave me ideas for some new dishes. I really enjoyed every dish, but my favorites are the Indian dish and pizza. I would recommend this course to everyone!

I took Raw Food Chef Training online at Sayuri Academy and besides learning so much is lot of fun in the way the lessons are presented. I love all lessons because they are very nice videos and I don’t need to be reading, the lessons are very well and easy explain and Sayuri’s personality make it awesome. Also the Team is really nice and always willing to help and answer very fast any enquiry. This is the best online course that I have taken at the moment. Definitely I will go for more with Sayuri!
