In the spring of 2006, restaurateur Cosmo Meens underwent a massive shift in perspective. Owner of Mo:Le Restaurant in Victoria, BC, his love for food led to an accelerated realization of how food has a profound effect on people's lives. Meens believes that people's diets are both the doorway and golden gate to a new world that brings about a higher state of awareness. Introduced to a healthy diet at an early age, he still felt as though a chunk of clarity was missing. This feeling continued for a number of years until his 2006 shift. He found the missing piece by switching his diet to eating raw plant foods, highly potent superfoods and medicinal herbs. Meens' Mo:Le Restaurant has grown from a simple eatery into an institution in just a few years. Mo:Le serves creative and lovingly prepared food bought from local and organic farms, when seasonally possible. It caters to all tastes and eating philosophies, including those with vegan and raw-food preferences.

I used to eat a very healthy diet already and was raised with amazing food around me all the time. So it would be easy to look at other aspects of one’s life to create more clarity, but I felt like for a long time I was missing something. I knew it could be better than it felt even at the best of times. I feel now that I have found that missing piece and for me it has been the shift to eating Primarily Raw Plant Foods,Highly potent Superfoods and Medicinal herbs.

Oh yeah and choosing to love myself completely!!!!!!!!

I would like to Focus my presentation on tasty ways to incorporate superfoods into your daily routine or diet. I will showcase one or two recipes. Most likely one chocolate and one salad dressing or savoury dish.
