About Marina:
''For the last 10 years I have been studying nutrition and a healthy lifestyle. In addition to my studies, I also completed a school on plant-based nutrition at Cornell University, which was based on the lectures of Dr. Colin Campbell, then a school on acute diseases and physiology of Dr. Dragan Ivanov, and I went through the practice of Dr. Douglas Graham in Costa Rica. The book "Nutrition 80 10 10" by Dr. Douglas Graham, which I translated into Serbian, had a great influence on me. In June 2013, I worked as a chef at the "Fresh Food Festival" in Denmark. In addition to holding seminars and a website about healthy nutrition and a healthy lifestyle, I give drawing classes, act in a traveling theater for children, and after many years of doing ballet, I now practice Vinyasa yoga, run and do fitness.''

About Tina:
"It all started as a coincidence. I was getting ready for the seaside and wandering around the library stocking up on books when I came across the book ''12 Steps to Raw Food'' by Victoria Boutenko. I liked the idea that with the help of food I could prevent, but also cure, diseases. Given my family history and stressful managerial job, my 40s seemed like a good age to take action regarding my own health.
Today, I consume exclusively raw food and feel only the positive effects of this way of eating - excellent blood counts, smooth skin with fewer wrinkles, shiny and healthy hair, lots of energy, weight loss, and lots of ideas about what else I could achieve in life.
My blog Zelenarium gives me the opportunity to share with the world recipes that give ideas on how to replace a ''classic'' meal with a raw one in a simple and quick way. It is up to each individual to choose to what extent they will apply them.
My advice is: slowly and gradually introduce changes to your diet, the rest will come by itself, and your body and you will be grateful!

title: ''RAW DELICIOUS''
lecturer: Mira Golčić (Mi-Raw)

About Mira:
''As a flute teacher, I have raised generations of young flutists.
Besides playing music, I dedicate my free time to researching a healthy lifestyle for myself and my family. I pay special attention to a healthy diet.
About 30 years ago, prompted by certain health problems in my family, I completed a seminar on macrobiotics, and upon completion, we switched to this type of diet. Over time, I realized that the macrobiotic diet did not fully meet our health needs. While researching professional literature, 8 years ago I learned about a healthy diet that captured my attention, and I immediately started making juices, salads, and simpler dishes.
Thus began my life with a raw food diet (RAW FOOD). The noticeable improvement in the health of my entire family prompted a desire to expand my knowledge, and in 2013 I completed a seminar on making raw food with Darko and Lena Jurić (Art of Raw), where I also acquired knowledge about making raw desserts. Since making raw food excludes heat treatment, sugar, flour and any products of animal origin, I pay great attention to choosing healthy, organically grown, seasonal foods.
Soon my cakes became the object of desire of all my family and friends. After my daughter persuaded me to offer my cakes at health food fairs and presenting some of my products on the show Dobro jutro Hrvatska, the circle of fans of these healthy desserts rapidly expanded, which is why the Facebook page Mi-Raw ( https://www.facebook.com/pages/Mi-Raw/593301157418125 ) was created, where you can find a selection of my cakes, as well as other savory and sweet delicacies, follow fair announcements and place orders.
Recently, I have been using VerVita's SuperBlend to prepare raw foods, a device that fully meets my high demands. This blender is perfect for achieving the finest texture of juices and smoothies, spreads, creams, and plant-based milks. Thanks to the collaboration with VerVita, I finally have the opportunity to hold the workshops that you have asked me about so many times. In the first workshop, we will make a white blueberry cake. This dessert, which is difficult to say whether it is prettier or tastier, will be made entirely with the help of VerVita's SuperBlend. This includes making the crust, white cream, and blueberry cream. After we make it together, we will taste the cake at the end of the workshop.
I look forward to our meeting soon!''

LECTURE ABOUT OKRA
lecturer: Pero Perija (OPG "PERO PERIJA" Zajbek)
Link: http://bamija.com/index.html
The lecture is free!
Okra is an annual, shrubby plant from the garden of God. It began to be cultivated in the Nile River valley centuries before Christ. In most of Europe, including here, it is little known. It is used fresh, frozen, marinated, dried and ground. It is represented in the food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical industries, as well as in folk medicine.
Benefits of okra
It regulates blood sugar levels, helps liver function, is useful in the treatment of asthma and for weight loss diets. Okra's mucus binds cholesterol. Helps with chronic fatigue. It is excellent for lining the stomach wall and developing intestinal flora.
Okra cosmetics
Herbal natural botox extracted from the magical okra. Okra's "Zejbek" natural cosmetic collection without preservatives, handmade, contains natural herbal botox in all its effectiveness in all its products. Natural herbal botox in positive multi-effectiveness, among other things, reduces muscle contraction and brings them into a blissful state, neutralizes the harmful effects of negative radicals and prevents premature aging of the skin.
The tradition of growing okra in the Perija family is already 50 years long. In the last 4 years, experimental cultivation began, and the first large quantities intended for the market in 2009. Also, through the selective cultivation of okra, certain species have been adapted, which exceed the expectations from the literature in terms of size and yield. Over 20 varieties of okra from all over the world are now grown in one place. The implementation of this project is supported by the Department of Vegetable Growing of the Faculty of Agriculture in Zagreb.
Join us at the lecture and learn everything about this versatile plant, and you will also be able to buy various products from OPG "Pero Perija"!
