Meet Chef Alice Dee at the Woodstock Fruit Festival

This year, the Woodstock Fruit Festival happening at Mandala Springs Retreat Center on Cobb Mountain from August 9-16th will bring together people who love vibrant living foods, community and the joy of health. Raw From the Garden is thrilled to announce that our featured Chef Alice Dee, author of our amazing Raw Vegan Recipes book, will be leading the food demonstrations at the Festival—bringing her signature blend of creativity, science‑based nutrition, and heart‑centered teaching to the festival kitchen.

A Pioneer in Living Foods

Chef Alice Dee is a raw vegan chef, restaurateur, science‑based author, and long‑time animal rights advocate known for helping pioneer California’s living‑foods movement. Her work has inspired thousands to explore nutrient‑dense raw cuisine, reconnect with nature’s ingredients, and embrace compassionate living.

As the founder of Back to the Garden Living Foods Academy, Alice has spent decades teaching workshops, developing recipes, and guiding students through the art of preparing fresh, energizing meals. With training in nutritional healing and herbology, her demonstrations blend practical technique with deep knowledge of how living foods support the body.

Books, Advocacy, and Education

Alice’s books—Raw Vegan Recipes and Why Raw Vegan?—draw from her years of restaurant experience and her research into the health benefits of raw plant foods. Through her advocacy organization We Care About Animals, she promotes ethical veganism, animal rights, and compassionate living.

Her work is rooted in the belief that food can be both healing and joyful—and that simple ingredients, treated with care, can become extraordinary.
