Anais+Raya is a culinary collective, where we cook farm-to-table, teach alternative living with whole foods, host Farmers’ Market Feasts, pop-up restaurants and special events to highlight local chefs, farms and businesses. Monday through Friday 10-2 PM we open our Elixir Bar to the public, serving organic raw foods, nutrient dense superfood smoothies and local farm fresh produce.
Every Sunday, we host a Farmers’ Market Feast from 5-7 PM. These dinners are cooked in an open kitchen and served family style at community tables. The menu changes weekly to reflect the freshest produce and ingredients hand picked by our local farmers. We encourage our guests to exchange stories and connect with new friends, creating community through food.
Founders, Anais Tangie and chef Raya Belna, are holistic entrepreneurs in OrangeCounty who have built their careers on a mutual passion for local, organic, farm-to-table foods. Visit us online at http://anaisandraya.com http://facebook.com/anais+raya
