1.One thing the world doesn’t know about me is that I'm so amazingly clumsy and that I've actually developed incredible reflexes. Its sort of a paradox isn't it?

2. I am most proud of my five children, their amazing emotional balance, their joy, their evolved spirits, their harmony, the way they take care of each other.

3. My biggest achievement is staying raw without cheating for a year now...

4. My most memorable meal was last Thanksgiving, sharing it with 20 other raw vegans or people who desired to come eat a raw Thanksgiving dinner instead of the traditional one...It was a really special vibe, and the first time we didn't spend Thanksgiving alone in years.

5. My idea of the perfect day is lying in the sun on a secluded beach eating mangoes and pineapple while my children swim in the ocean.

6. My mottos in life are “Fresh is Best!” “God's Will Be Done!” “Peace Be With You!”

7. My favorite superfoods are apples.

8. The most beautiful place on earth is the crystal green pool at the end of the Matilija waterfall hike in Ojai, California.

9. In 5 years, I see myself in our Raw Vegan Village, in a green-built solar-powered home, working on a book, playing with the children by the river, and eating out of the garden.

10. If I could share a raw dinner with any three people they would be my Dad, because it might have saved his life. Angelina Jolie, because she also has a bunch of kids, does a lot of good, and looks like she could use more nourishment. And Oprah because she could live longer and healthier and continue doing great work as well as influence a lot of people to try this lifestyle if she liked it.

Jinjee, a homeschooling mother of 5 beautiful children, runs the raw food empire The Garden Diet with her husband, Storm. The company specializes in e-book publications and DVD production in the raw vegan foods education field.

1.One thing the world doesn’t know about me is that I'm a certified kripalu yoga instructor. I love to teach!
2. I am most proud of being a Canadian.
3. My biggest achievement is graduating culinary school.
4. My most memorable meal was my first time dining at Pure Food and Wine in NYC.
5. My idea of the perfect day is a day on the beach with my sweetheart, soaking up the sun and eating tropical fruit.
6. My motto is eat dessert first!
7. The most beautiful place on earth is Byron Bay, Australia
8. If I could be any animal, I would be a giraffe! They get to bask in the heat and sun all day.
9. In five years, I see myself living in a warm climate, married, with a child on the way. I also plan on having a few more dessert books out by then.
10. If I could share a raw dinner with any three people, they would be Jesus, Oprah and my grandfather who I never got to meet.

Chef Heather Pace became vegetarian at 14 years of age, started cooking for herself and quickly discovered a new love which led her to the completion of a classical chef training program. She went on to work in various restaurants, and then as a personal chef for a number of years. With a serious passion for raw vegan sweet treats, Heather has authored "Just Desserts," "The Ultimate Raw Ice Cream Cake" and "Moonie Pie Recipes" ebooks. Currently Heather teaches raw food classes, and is working on a new dessert book with Philip McCluskey. As a certified Kripalu yoga instructor, she loves teaching and exploring different styles of yoga. You can find her books, lots of great recipes, and raw dessert challenges at sweetlyraw.com, or contact her at heather(at)sweetlyraw.com.
