Our World Fusion Weekly newsletter will now be called '7 Minute Chef Newsletter - Recipe for Inspired Living' as we distill the best nutritional, health preparation and wisdom of the vegan food movement. Please look for this new name in our future emails. The 7 Minute Chef Newsletter features all the latest from our Blossoming Lotus Restaurants, free recipes, contest information, chef advice, entertainment calendars and non profit activities.
In light of our recent Whole Foods Demo in Portland, we have selected John Mackey, founder and CEO of Whole Foods as this month's Friend of the Lotus. With humble beginnings, John started his original health food store, called Safer Way, in a garage in Austin, Texas, in 1978. He worked with local farmers, bakers and other organic product suppliers to build a loyal customer base. In an interview with Grist Online, Mackey was asked why he made a switch to a vegan diet. "As I studied and read the books, my consciousness was raised about how animals were treated. I became a vegan and at the same time I realized, gosh, Whole Foods has got to create a higher standard here. I think it will ultimately be a good business decision because I think our customers expect us, want us to pave this path." To learn more about John and his vision for Whole Foods, please visit his blog.

Greetings from sunny California ! Our road trip has been amazing. We began in Boulder, Colorado and traveled down to Santa Fe, New Mexico. There we cooked a 7 course private dinner and taught a class at The Body of Santa Fe. After Santa Fe, we journeyed to Taos and taught a class in an adorable adobe home. From Taos, we traveled through Sedona and on to San Diego. In San Diego we taught two classes, one of which was at the incredible Temple of Universal Consciousness. From San Diego we traveled up the coast to Portland, Oregon. We visited with our friends at the Blossoming Lotus and taught a class at Whole Foods Market. We have met inspirational people all along the way. We would like to extend a warm mahalo to all of our gracious hosts and the students who attended our classes. Please check out our blog for more photos from our trip.
