Testimonials

“My Clean retreat clients were highly impressed by Andrea and Dalia’s gourmet raw food preparation and presentation. The meals were not only delicious but captured the essence of the core needs of those attending the retreat. I recommend Andrea’s work to anyone seeking to make a positive lifestyle change through improving their diet.”

“Having hired Andrea to cater a private luncheon for 20 people, I can heartily endorse her services. Beautifully presented and delicious, both the confirmed raw food lovers and everyone else in attendance were enthralled with the food. I recommend her highly for both her cuisine and her professionalism.”

“The delicious and nutritious food I enjoyed throughout my pregnancy from Phytofoods was a god send.  The super food smoothies and specially tailored food played a vital role in my great sense of well being. I had the energy to care for an extremely active three year old and even used their Cacao drink throughout labor to keep me hydrated and give me sustained energy.  (So did my husband who actually needed it probably more than I did!) I have not been able to find the level of quality and unique food choices that Phytofoods offers anywhere else.”

“I have had the privilege to be on the receiving end of gratifying gourmet creations from Phytofoods for the last few years. Andrea has been an inspiration in so many ways. Her approach to preparing raw food is as artistic as it is knowledgeable, and therefore she creates nutrient dense meals that are beautiful and simply delicious. Andrea’s recipes have easily been integrated into our family’s regular meal routines, and have become some of our favorites as well!”

“Thanks to Andrea I have more variety in my diet than ever, even though I am eating far less dairy, meat, sugar, and processed stuff than before. She has taught me how to fill my plate with such simple and delicious veg-based dishes, that I don’t have room for the other stuff. And thank goodness, because I feel SO much better without it. I greatly appreciate how Andrea met me where I was at, looked at what was realistic for me and my family, and – without judgement – helped me to slowly evolve the way I shop/eat/cook. She never asked me to give up foods that I can’t let go of – but introduced me to so many great new foods and recipes that the ones that don’t serve me just sort-of disappeared my plate.”

“I have attended two of Andrea’s raw classes and they were both great. The difference between Andrea’s classes and others I have taken in the past is that I have actually incorporated a lot of what I learned into my daily routine. For example, I NEVER thought I would be into smoothies for breakfast…I’m just not a smoothie person…but I learned so much in the class about the nutritional benefits (besides learning how to make really delicious ones) that I am now a breakfast smoothie convert. Andrea is extremely creative and often uses unlikely flavors and ingredients that do magical things when combined. She is knowledgeable about all aspects of the foods she works with, from farming practices to nutritional and therapeutic properties. I highly recommend working with Andrea.”
