Our Story
Welcome To Rawcous Kitchen
Mark started Rawcous Kitchen in 2021 to bring delicious plant-based whole food to people, celebrating the diversity and flavours of whole plant-based foods.
Mark’s vision is to encourage more people to eat plant-based and healthy food, without compromising on taste.
Since moving to a vegan diet in 2016, he then retrained as a Natural Vegan chef (Diploma via College of Naturopathic Medicine) and loves cooking plant-based foods for his family, customers, private events and regular themed supper clubs.
We are always striving to be less wasteful and more sustainable, using whole foods with pronounceable names, using biodegradable packaging, composting our food waste (or utilising to make our own stocks and sauces) and developing strong relationships with local suppliers where possible. We try to use organic produce and those on the clean 15 list (low pesticide produce).
We hope you enjoy our honest, healthy and delicious options either in our relaxing cafe or as a takeaway.
