Maya Papaya is a Revolutionary Raw Food Chef and Educator. She took her first dive into the world of RAW 8 years ago and was happily surprised (as were her family and friends) to discover that she had the ability to create Raw meals that balanced color, flavor, texture and Fun in ‘finger, plate, bowl and blender-licking good ways!’ Maya was so inspired by the vitality, taste and beauty of living foods that she went on to to teach hands-on Raw Food Preparation classes throughout the country and to work at the prominent RAW restaurants Roxanne's and Cafe Gratitude, located in the San Francisco, bay area.
Today Maya offers Ripe Papaya: RAW Abundance Lifestyle Coaching, Classes & Consultations to individuals, families and small businesses. Adjani’s original recipes are featured in the new edition of 'The Complete Book of Raw Food’ and ‘The Green Smoothie Challenge’ recently published. She is currently working on her new book,‘Wisdom Food: Raw Recipes for a New World.’
“Maya, I just wanted to tell you how thoroughly I enjoyed your class. The food you made was amazingly delicious and nourishing. I loved being able to help with the pie crust because I always learn best by doing. I came home so excited that my husband and kids can’t wait for me to make them the things you taught me and I already have two people to bring to the next class!!!! Thank you again- it is a TRUE honor to learn more from you.”

A deepening sense of well-being & connection to all of life.
Raw food or ‘Sunfood’ includes fruit, vegetables, nuts, sprouted seeds, sea veggies, micro algaes or superfoods, which have not been heated or cooked. Raw plant food contains water, oxygen, enzymes, vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals and nutrients in the perfect ratios and bio available form. Cooking destroys these elements and greatly alters the molecular structure of foods.
Once cooked, food can loose more than 85% of its nutritional value. Cooked food is heavy and lacks enzymes, so the body must use it’s own enzyme reserves and energy to digest and use them. The burden of assimilating cooked, denatured foods, year after year, meal after meal, eventually depletes and toxifies the body, leading to disease and accelerated aging.
Simply increasing the amount of fresh, living foods in one’s diet can have a tremendous healing and rejuvenating effect. This is nothing new. Wise, educated peoples throughout the world have long understood and respected nature’s wisdom and thrived on a diet of raw plant foods. The ancient Hunza people of the Himalayas, for example, have eaten a raw food diet for thousands of years (and still do), and are among the healthiest, longest living people on the planet. Increasing numbers today are enjoying the boundless benefits of 'going Raw.'
It is with gratitude and enthusiasm that I welcome you to explore this sacred relationship to food, your body and the land where many are reminded of their natural essence as perfection - no alteration required.
