Hi, I'm Chef Crystal,
"With knowledge, anything is possible!"
As a graduate of the plant-based and raw food nutrition programs at Matthew Kenney Culinary Academy and Pure Joy Academy, I have worked hard to learn the importance of the culinary aspect and nutritional elements of living foods.
My work within the plant-based culinary industry led me on many adventures, including the development of unique plant-based menus for new restaurants, designed and catered multiple health retreats and even launched my own raw chocolate and dessert business!
Through my easy-to-follow and comprehensive classes, let me share the knowledge and skills needed to incorporate healthy food alternatives into your lifestyle. You and your family will thrive, and this will be the greatest reward an educator can imagine.
Join me in creating raw desserts free from: gluten, refined-sugar, and soy. Not only will you feel better, but your family and friends will love indulging in your creations!

Read MoreWhere do I even start.. this course came at the right time and it has given me even more than I imagined, and definitely has been one of the best education I have ever signed up for my own growth. I am simply not able to eat any other dessert anymore than raw vegan, and my own.:) I am a full time mom for a toddler and a baby, and also recently started a local raw vegan dessert business on Oahu, Hawaii, only to realize very soon that my knowledge and passion is not enough, and I need someone's guidance. After the initial search online, it was clear very quickly that there are not many quality raw vegan dessert courses available, and it seemed that the ones out there were missing something I felt I needed. I randomly came across Crystal Dawn Culinary, and the course program looked promising and very tempting. Although I wasn't sure I was ready for such an investment, also I am quite sceptical about online courses especially which requires practice and hands on learning. I so much prefer in person classes, however Covid has changed everything. So I decided to go for it and I'm really happy I did. From the day one Crystal has been very responsive and proactive in helping and answering any questions. I was so surprised that few times I was in the middle of making a dessert and experienced a problem, and Crystal responded immediately, and I was able to finish. That never happens! I haven't had an instructor more caring about their students, their time and work! As an online course, she still manages to make it feel like a private class, and cares for you personally. That is the best value one can get! The course program - it has been absolutely life changing for me, and also has improved my business tremendously. I truly never imagined all the desserts one can make as raw vegan - this is the most comprehensive raw vegan dessert course currently available, where one can learn to make absolutely everything - starting from yoghurt and finishing with layered gourmet cakes. Also going on your own pace with the course was a huge plus. I always was intimidated about making chocolate, but now I love it and Crystal's recipes are irresistible! There's so much about this course I absolutely love and appreciate, it's not possible to mention all this in one review. I truly want to thank you Crystal for putting this together, for sharing your talent, knowledge and passion, for caring about your students, for doing regular live classes, for a very personal touch to every student even after graduation, and always looking to improve the course. As I can call myself a raw vegan dessert chef, I understand that my journey has only now began, and my learning continues on a different level thanks to Crystal.

Read MoreLet me start off by saying that I really did not know what to expect when signing up for this program. I am a person who ran from the kitchen because I do not like cooking. I was nervous because I wasn't really sure I could master the plating and decorating of the desserts. I had so many doubts that I almost talked myself out of enrolling. What made me enroll was the accessibility of Crystal to her students. I sent her emails asking questions before enrolling and she responded no matter how many times I reached out to her. This impressed me because most online self-paced programs leave you to fend for yourself. Well, what I can say is this was the best money spent. Crystal hands down is the BEST. She is very involved and always available to lend a hand when needed. The classes are so well put together and very user friendly that even a novice like me was able to follow along and complete the program. All my friends and family are amazed at the dessert art I have created. Not only are they pretty they actually taste good. I actually love going in the kitchen to whip up a dessert now. I find it keeps me calm. I would definitely recommend her program to anyone that is considering raw desserts as a hobby or a future business. Thank you Crystal for all that you have done and for the passion you have in making sure your students succeed. Dehavillyn Mack

She taught me her techniques, precious advice to decorate and make the recipes. Thank you Crystal for your availability and your creativity. I was afraid of not always understanding the lessons well because I am French but the videos and explanations are clear and Crystal is always there to respond with kindness if necessary, again thank you Crystal, you are a great chef and an excellent professor.

Read MoreCrystal Bonnet has put together an excellent Raw food Culinary Dessert Course. I have lived in NYC for most of my life and have been able to try many plant-based desserts from some of the top chefs in the area. Her recipes are outstanding and better than any I have tried. The colors, the flavors and the presentation all come together perfectly. I would highly recommend this course to anyone seeking healthy alternatives, trying to impress friends, build their repertoire of raw food dessert knowledge and especially to those with businesses. I made a presentation of several desserts for my birthday (because now no other desserts will suffice) and had some top raw food experts who are in the business come by to sample and they said they were some of the best they have ever tried. I was so proud. I really learned so much including recipe creation, photography and computer skills. I was so excited from the beginning to see how easy it was to put together these beautiful dessert creations. Crystal laid out everything in such a step by step systematic way, she made me feel comfortable and not overwhelmed in any way, especially since I am a simple home chef who had never tried too many raw food desserts. As I started to get feedback from my enthusiastic neighbors and friends my confidence level grew. Any time I had a question or a concern Crystal was right there and answered my questions immediately. Her patience and kindness were unbelievable. This was literally one of the most exciting projects and I loved it so much! I feel I've developed so much, I didn't feel intimidated; although, when looking at some of her other students work I was astounded at their master works! They all encouraged each other and gave great advice. I loved that she added bonus tutorials and brought in expert chefs, fellow students demonstrating in their kitchens, and restaurant owners to talk about their experiences. I love how she built up our skills and then encouraged us to make our own raw food recipes. I was so pleased with my final dessert presentation. It was great to be part of a community of such creative inspiring chefs. This has sparked a love of creating stunning, healthy desserts. I will continue learning and creating. Thanks Crystal for the BEST class ever!!! I am going to make all my friends address me as "Chef"...lol.

Read MoreThis was my first time to do an online course so I was a little apprehensive about how and if it would work but I have to say that it was a real pleasure to be a part of the course. Crystal's teaching methods are clear and concise and she delivers the course in a way that is easy to understand. She was always there and ready to help when I needed her and that made the course even better, to know that any question would be answered straight away. The social media pages allowed me to connect with other students on the course and it was so great to share our experiences together and learn from each other. The course included some surprise extra lessons and free videos which enhanced the learning experience even more so it surpassed my expectations and provided great value for money. Crystal - if you plan to do any more courses or projects, I will be first person in the line! Thank you so much for helping me to develop my skills and give me the confidence to keep going.
