Eating only living foods can be a great way to cleanse the body and free your mind from attachments to junk foods. However, after experimenting with raw foods for nearly 8 years, Aydra has found its a matter of energy. The body often yearns for warm, cooked and comforting foods not just fresh and raw. Finding your own balance is the key and listening to your needs with inner acceptance and intuition pays in the long run.

::The Organic Awakening::

Just in time for a new face in the spotlight of US power, America is finally coming around as a whole to encourage and support the organic movement. Perhaps the statement 'We are One' truly does hold some validity. 
We know its been happening since the 60's, ever since the industrial revolution, and then WWII, it was only a matter of time until the human consciousness began to question the strange and uncanny evolution of food and lifestyle. 
Now today, 2009, we celebrate a near 360 from the time when pre-revolution farmers knew that good soil mattered. We turn back to the source and begin to see things as nature intended.

Aydra Jenson, both artist and visionary has been at it since 2001,
weaving the organic choice into not only her diet but lifestyle and artistic path as well. By the age 18 she knew internally that she was suffering in poor health and made a move to SF where she immediately got involved with a music scene that supported alternative choices in food. She would soon be lead by a close friend and mentor to Roxanne Klein of Marin County who owned a 4-star raw food restaurant. Here she got her start as a hostess and through personality and discipline eventually worked her way into a role as an artistic personal chef, making local deliveries, hosting parties and working in private homes. By 2004, Roxanne's shut its door and Aydra went on her merry way to LA, land of her musical dreams where she was certain to make a splash with her creative and cunning ways in the kitchen, a dreamy & green day job.

Sure enough, finding interest in the organic, vegan-raw movement came naturally to Gourmet Girl in Los Angeles. Between working privately, even living-in for 6 months on a private estate in Topanga canyon where she also upheld household and childcare duties and started a private raw chocolate label, Aydra found time and resources to continue chasing down her dream.
In the summer of 07' she meet producer Cathy Konrad and husband writer/director James Mangold who took to her cuisine through a new spawned interests in raw foods. From weekly meal prep to fine, coursed dinner parties, Gourmet Girl upholds a strong relationship with this beautiful family-oriented team to the day. 



Not only has Aydra evolved significantly as an artist; singer/songwriter & performer during her time in Los Angeles, but her journey in the organic movement has also changed and evolved. Shes adopted a strong connection to chocolate and its medicinal value as well as the value of primal raw foods, which is the careful consumption of unpasteurized dairy products as well as some meat such as bison. Shes had enormous results in her health, body weight and energy through consuming these foods and has worked with her clients to incorporate them in their lives. Currently Aydra lives in Topanga Canyon and is accepting new clients for private dinners, consultations, special orders, chocolates, even live-in work and childcare. You may contact her personally at starsixmusic@gmail.com. Emailing is the best way to be in touch with Gourmet Girl. Also take a moment to check out her links on the right menu bar of this page.
Thanks and go in health, the greatest wealth!

LIVE IT





















MANTRA FROM AYDRA:_:


Perhaps the key to true success and happiness lies within, awaiting us to seek it out. This delicate process is one which requires not only the individuals examination and process of self, but the pulling together collectively of supporters who agree to this individuals success and genuinely want it for them. If doubt shadows ones mind, it will hinder all intuitive practice to self-mastery, bliss and abundance. Going forward into each moment with a will to improve beyond perceived limits and capacity is our greatest test. Passing this test yields infinite clues to unlocking the secret of the soul-stuff, that which projects infinite courage and lack of fear. This is the stuff from which happiness and success are born.
GO FEARLESSLY
