"I can’t say enough from this course. It’s beyond amazing.
I have learned and gained so much knowledge, I have grown so much that I can’t wait to share with the world all my achievements. I am so proud of myself! Just like in Level I, I took this course with so much focus, concentration, and some pressure as I wanted to make sure I was doing everything correctly – I needed to make sure that flavors were right and balanced, consistency was right and looks were spot on too.
I knew when to add more seasoning, more sweetness, and knew I had to keep working on the recipe until I was 100% satisfied.
I loved the recipes and the versatility of the ingredients. I loved how the ingredients blended so well with each other to created amazing flavors and stunning desserts. I was so impressed with the chocolate cream pie, the raw rolls, and the lemon raspberry cake.
I will make them staples at my Juicery shop for sure. They were a huge hit at home as well. I fell in love with so many recipes, so many had WOWED me in a way that I was not expecting at all.
Living in China for more than 28 years now and lived in Italy for 5 years I was so looking forward to trying these flavors and OMG, I was blown away! They are so genuine and true to their roots. I can’t stop thinking about the Spinach Quiche, the Coconut wraps, the cannelloni, the lasagna – just to name a few. Congratulations on putting together such amazing recipes and courses. Sure it’s not an easy task but I do believe that when we have passion for something, everything flows so smooth that nothing feels like an obligation. I loved discovering, trying, creating, and re-creating. This is what amazes me in the Raw/Vegan Cuisine. Thanks to these amazing courses I have committed to further my studies within the Raw and Vegan world, and I know that this is just the very beginning."

"I might be making a bold statement, but I genuinely think that this recipe is the best recipe among all of the recipes that I have done throughout this course. This recipe was one where I genuinely had the most fun making and eating. I might not sound like it but I am not a big sweets person. However, this recipe blew my mind by how “un-vegan” it tasted and looked. Not saying that being vegan or vegetarian is bad but there is this perception that vegan or vegetarian food doesn’t taste as good as foods with animal products in them. With regular pastries and sweets, there is a heavy emphasis on dairy products I believe. Almost every iconic dessert (within the pastry and cake realms) involves dairy products. The French croissant, New York Cheesecake, crème brûlée, etc. Even chocolate needs other dairy products to manufacture it. However, this dessert takes the cake. Personally, this dessert does not require high technical skills to pull off. The crust was very straightforward in its requirements. Blend everything and press them into the tart/cake/pie pan and into the fridge or freezer to keep the shape. The pie filling was also not hard to make. Everything into the blender and you have yourself a very nice chocolate filling. The use of avocado and coconut gave it a creamy texture and a slight nutty sweet aroma. The cacao powder gave it the chocolatey taste. You wouldn’t be hard-pressed by people not being able to differentiate the two if you’ve had presented them actual chocolate filling and this alteration. It tasted that good."

"I’ve completed many Raw Food Courses and this one by FAR was my favorite! Elaina’s recipes are gourmet but not too rich so that you still feel light and energized after eating them. I continuously make the course recipes all the time as part of my daily staples. You have never had raw lasagna until you try Elaina’s lasagna, hands down the best I’ve ever had!
I would HIGHLY recommend Pure Joy Academy if you are looking to increase your knowledge on living, plant-based foods or are looking to take this seriously as a career. I have so much more confidence after completing this program!"
