Punk Rawk Labs (PRL) is a Minneapolis based company which specializes in living cuisine. Owner, Alissa, graduated with the inaugural class of professional chefs from MATTHEW KENNEY ACADEMY (the world's first classically structured gourmet raw food academy) and has been working in the restaurant industry since 1991. She developed an interest in this healthful way of eating after developing a number of complicated health problems related to a toxic exposure.

Presently, PRL offers two seasonal products: NUT MILK CHEESES (winter) and KALE CHIPS (spring, summer, and fall). Adopting healthier eating habits is no small task. Finding delicious substitutes for favorite foods is a much more enjoyable process than white knuckle diets. These are two products which Alissa discovered to be quite helpful in that regard. They were created initially as a project to share with friends while was recovering from an automobile accident. The response was very positive. Before she knew it, they had developed a life of their own. She was in business.

To learn more about living cuisine, check out Alissa's BLOG. Here she chronicles her healing story (recovering from two serious accidents - one TOXIC EXPOSURE and one CAR CRASH), kitchen experiments, gardening triumphs, and inspirations. Diet has been an instrumental tool in helping her to manage her ongoing health challenges. Some of these include: asthma, IBS, chronic fatigue, hepatitis, a long term mono infection, autoimmune issues, involuntary movements, candida, ulcers, multiple pelvic and rib fractures, trigger point pain issues, muscle spasms, nerve flare-ups, headaches, and a lower back disc injury (among other things).

PRL also has a video page which features a number of 'uncooking' recipes called PUNK RAWK LABS TV. The show is available in iTUNES as a free download.
