Brian Lucas

TisF is Ordering Up Organic!

Brian Lucas aka BeLive was executive chef and co-owner of Organica: the Living Cuisine, which was located in San Francisco. Organica was unique in that it was one of the first gourmet raw living restaurants in the world and was 100% Raw, 100% Vegan and 100% Organic-Wild or Biodynamic. The restaurant was definitely ahead of it's time. Brian is one of the pioneers of the 90's gourmet raw living cuisine movement. He has also made food for celebrities, politicians and athletes.

He specializes in making raw living cuisine taste superb and considers himself a "transitional" gourmet raw living chef, helping make peoples first experience equal to many of their favorite cooked meals. Brian has encouraged people to discover a healthier diet through flavorful raw living cuisine. Many individuals need good tasting food to transition to the raw lifestyle in an easier manner. He has a unique style that is definitely his own, and everyone should have the pleasure of experiencing it. You can currently find his Mom's Stuffed Bells recipe featured in Carol Alt's new raw food book The Raw 50.

TisF recently caught up with Brian in LA.

BL: To feel stupendously grand and healthy that it feels fictitious. I am grateful to have such a fabulous way of life.

Who is the most Fabulous person you know?
BL: I know so many but one that stands out at this moment is my girlfriend Adoré Michelle Levitt. She is one of the most phenomenal beings I have ever known and she is a truly remarkable dancer.

What do you consider your greatest (most Fabulous) achievement?
BL: This is a challenge because I feel I have so many. Having my children, connecting with Adoré, creating gourmet raw living cuisine, playing saxophone and guitar, connecting and meeting people. So many things come to mind, I could write a book. Oh yeah, I'm going to write at least 5 and I'm working on the first as we speak. Basically, LIFE is my achievement and I am loving living every moment of it.
