Raw Luck Club Table
The Raw Luck Club in Johannesburg was started in April by Dr. Heidi van Loggerenberg. The first potluck was held at her home but she soon realised that other venues would need to be found to accommodate the growing interest in raw food. The next potluck evening was held at the Greenside Cafe and the following one at Fruits and Roots in Bryanston.
Heidi is bringing in speakers to make the evening even more entertaining and it is obvious from the photographs that people are having an amazing time experiencing other people’s rendition of raw food preparation. Each dish has a label that describes the main ingredients and the complete recipe is available for anyone to copy. Children are welcome and it is very encouraging opportunity for parents to introduce children to great tasting raw food.
Here are some links:

Heidi’s definitions of: Pot Luck, Raw and Vegan.
‘raw food potluck‘ : Each person brings a raw vegan food meal to the club night to share with everyone
‘Raw’ food = food in it’s original, unprocessed state, that has not been heated above 40-41 degrees celsius – thus the life force in the food is preserved, along with the enzymes found in the food that aid digestion and don’t rob body of enzymes for digestion
‘Vegan’ food = is food that has not been in anyway connected with animals

3 cups OATS
2 cups PITTED DATES
FILTERED WATER for soaking dates and oats
1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
1 cup RAW PECANS
1 tsp MACE
2 cups raw WALNUTS AND ALMONDS coarsely chopped
Soak the oats and dates in separate containers with enough water to cover for 2 hours. Drain.
In a Super Blender combine oats and maple syrup or honey and blend until creamy.
Spoon blender contents, about 3mm thick onto a solid Dehydrator sheet and dehydrate until crispy, about 6 hours.
Transfer oat crust onto a pie plate.
Set aside.
In a Food Processor (or Oscar Juicer), homogenize dates and pecans and spread a 2.5cm layer of the mixture over the oat crust.
Evenly sprinkle one third of the walnuts, almonds and a pinch of mace of date-nut paste. Repeat the layering process until you’ve used all the date-nut paste, nuts and mace;
- it makes up to three layers
