How to Make the BEST Raw Vegan Wrap + Spicy Thai Dressing with Chef Angelique Miller of Zest Kitchen

SAVE ZEST!!! HELP KEEP ZEST KITCHEN FROM CLOSING!!!
Zest Kitchen vegan cafe has to move ASAP! Here's how you can help!
We are diligently searching and would love to hear if anyone knows of a place coming soon that could be a good fit.
Please contact Angelique at [e-mail] or 916-300-5894 (cell)
Zest Kitchen has been providing healthy vegan foods to the greater Sacramento area since 2011, pioneering the local movement for healthy handmade whole foods that are delicious and inviting to people from all walks of life. Zest creates a fun welcoming bridge from the standard American diet to a healthier lifestyle through the variety of foods and snacks offered at the Rocklin restaurant and through food demo classes and guest speakers. Zest also creates connections with the community by offering art, skin care and other products made by local artists and small minority-owned businesses.
But now they need your help!
The lease ran out on their building and their current landlord wants to use the space for something else and has said Zest needs to be out by 7/31/24.
We are quickly looking for a new space and would love any ideas!
We are here looking for something to lease with a patio and preferably still in the Roseville/Rocklin area although we are open to other ideas. We need to be careful to select a spot that will be successful to ensure that Zest will remain for many years to come!
Ideally it would be a "second generation restaurant" space with important equipment already built in, allowing for a much faster reopening, such as a walk-in fridge (important for keeping all of those veggies and fresh ingredients safely cool) and a hood ventilation system which escorts hot air away from the grills and stove.
Angelique Miller, owner and executive chef at Zest Kitchen in Rocklin, California went vegetarian in 1995 and then vegan in 2009. With decades of experience in management and the tech world, she turned her passions for health and food into reality in 2011 by opening a vegan restaurant which blossomed into Zest. She has catered many special events including yoga and wellness retreats and is certified as a Life Purpose (Dharma) Coach, Theta Healer and yoga instructor. She currently resides in Rocklin with her hilarious adult daughter and is working toward expanding her life and work experiences globally.

I love this! As a past employee of Zest Kitchen, I deeply admire Angelique Miller's professionalism, creativity, kindness, and enthusiasm. I'm so glad Chef AJ could have her on the show! I made many nori wraps in my time at Zest, and I can tell you they are just as healthful, beautiful, and delicious as they look in this video! The citrus dressing too is a delicious and tangy recipe that pairs wonderfully with Zest's seasonal harvest bowl. Let's please help Zest Kitchen find a new space!

[@papiyonmov]

Thanks Max!!

[@jennifersteel4636]

Chef Angelique is amazing! Love her! So inspiring and creative! Intuitive eating… totally resonate with that. If she has a cookbook I’m buying it!

[@qoekc]

This was great. I took a salad class from Angelique and boy did it open my eyes to how creative a salad can be.

[@terrylasater1397]

We have loved Zest for many many years...since the last location too. The vibe, music, local artwork, and the food of course. Can't wait to see what awesome new place shows up for you! With patio! : )

[@pattinielsen891]

We need a Chef Angelique recipe book!,,

[@karlaminkley4195]

If Zest doesn't work out Angelique needs to teach us all on KZbin! I made a dressing like her citrus one. It is to die for. I did sweeten it with mango. So good!

[@peggybean3256]

Hope someone comes through with a space for Zest! My favorite vegan restaurant!

[@melissagalindo4246]

I love Chef AJs blender dance lol 💃

[@vivianweissmann217]

[@DianaBumanglag]

I am addicted to Zest. Angelique is the best!!!! I go at least 2x a week and recommend Zest to everyone.

[@nazokashii]

How wonderful to get to meet Chef Angelique! What a true delight :) hope someone will be able to find her a new space

All of this looks delicious! I love rice and nori wraps. I hope you find a great commercial space to continue your restaurant. Keep New York in mind as well!

[@linaloveslove]

Will hope you get a new place for Zest. Sounds delicious.

[@cmolona7547]

Yummmm. Making it for dinner. Thank you thank you thank you. Your program has the best ideas

[@acwrite32]

Gee, I just looked at the Zest Kitchen menu. Sure would be nice to have it here in Austin, Texas. Expensive here but I’m sure you would bring in the business hundredfold. Looks delicious! Best of luck to you Chef!

[@andreadufore823]

Save zest restaurant!!! This is my kind of place.!!!❤

[@skippy6462]

I love Chef AJ eating 😋 can't wait to make these. What I love is that it's easy. Just a little prep first.

[@judyhoomalamalama]

I make my Nori wrap with a bit of avocado and veges and roll like a burrito. I am going to try this dressing and still roll it. Thank u for this. Ill have to figure out the portions of the mix. I also love the rice wraps that I make alot with cooked veges in. Great presentation.

[@bjoyp7463]

Amazing on so many levels! I love colorful food😍

[@SheriAnne0711]

Really enjoyed watching! Love the new ideas for wraps!! YAY!!

[@cimesq]

Oh I am so happy to be able to make this as we have no space for a dehydrator.

[@Fruitfulbarbie]

Wow chef Aj! This video came at perfect time!! I’ve been on a raw food diet cleanse looking for a wrap recipe all week and couldn’t find anything without a dehydrator!! This was a great interview! She’s amazing!! I can’t wait to try it!! Also, I ordered you signed book can’t wait to get it! Best of luck becoming a best seller, you deserve it and we need more books on the subject!

[@CHEFAJ]

Thanks so much!

[@robynkoehler1904]

[@sallydavison]

Love this so much!

[@msicottevt]

Love this!

[@veganradiation]

This recipe looks like a game-changer for anyone looking to add some excitement to their raw vegan wraps - the spicy Thai dressing is especially intriguing! Im sharing this must-try recipe with my friends and family, come check out what else were passionate about

[@normacampos8543]

Where is the recipe??

[@grannyarkue9199]

Love the wrap thanks 🙏🏿 my way love ❤️ all u do for us Chef AJ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🙏🏿❤️❤️👋🏿🧑‍🍳

[@kat4animals004]

As humans we have the ability to notice if a person may be looking too thin or too fat but what's the point. People look how they look. And maybe a certain body type works for them. So many comments about chef AJ's appearance and body. What's the point. Some people may not look healthy to us but we are not them. Everybody needs to live their own life.

[@trishareichenberg5093]

This is absolutely awesome because I have an allergies to nuts! So when I can find a nut free recipe? It's so fabulous for my soul and I know you guys understand that. Thank you thank you thank you. Peace be with you

[@MarieG-yr8yr]

Chef Angellique looks a healthy weight and love the recipe. Thank you.

[@scullyitsme9844]

The blender dancing is making me feel so happy! 😂❤

[@annamurtaugh3435]

That's great. I wanted to make the wraps, but i don't have a dehydrator.

[@גליתאנגור-ש1צ]

Shef AJ, I'm so glad I found you.. it happened because I'm a big fan of Javant from HEALTHYVEGANEATING. Great channel! thank you!❤ I hope everything will work out soon to lovely Angelique ❤

[@alohafueled]

Found the rice wrap and nori on Amazon :)

[@COACH-CARBOHYDRATE]

Nothing better than chilli and lime. This recipe looks pretty cool, Carbs FTW!! 💪💪💪

[@annebastian5613]

I hope this chef finds a new space quickly for her next ZEST!!

[@joelleaittama1416]

These look delicious!

[@debphelan-devon7928]

Yum can not wait to try

[@ronmilford1358]

Bring those Zest Restaurants to the Midwest!

[@serenityblooms1033]

You two are just adorable ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@anashasoldroxler5024]

Thank you both and please please existence, people, God help save this jewel..

[@dawnsaunders1858]

Does she have a cookbook?? Went by Zest last week and recall I had been here before over A year ago. Great food!

[@versace1962]

Great video. Love this recipe idea. AJ is super hungry. lol.

[@joannexerri4334]

Omggg my mouth is watering. Can you please list out the ingredients for the sauces pleassssse. 🙏❤️

[@CHEFAJ]

She didn't want to give out restaurant proprietary recipes but if you watch you can figure it out.

[@kathymay8821]

How can I get the recipe when it isn’t posted? I would love to try this but I need directions please.

[@charisses]

I love these recipes from Zest! Best restaurant ever! I so hope Angelique can find a new spot in the area! If we wanted to use the rice bran oil how much would it be?

[@papiyonmov]

Oh, about 3 oz for the recipe I demo'd would be good.

[@dianatrans1804]

The Villages Florida!!

[@Shirmagedrusclau]

I just started watching your channel and this particular episode. You stated at the beginning about dehydrator and recipes? Can you tell me a little bit more about that as I do have a dehydrator

[@JoshuaRoevear]

Move to Folsom!

[@GreenNatureTrails]

Yes, please! Or Auburn 😊

[@dianatrans1804]

I wish I was there

[@violetxoxox]

I’m so sad about Zest! I go there every time I run errands. I was just there two weeks ago when I also went to Nugget (my favorite market!). I have many Zest faves, but I think the mushroom panini is my very favorite. It’s an umami flavor explosion tap-dancing across my taste buds. YUM! And kitchari is my go-to in fall and winter, or when I haven’t been feeling great. It’s so soothing and nourishing to my tummy. I know Rubio’s closed down recently, but maybe that space (the one that was at 6706 Stanford Ranch Rd., Suite 3) would be too small. Or maybe not. And it has a nice outdoor seating area.

[@hannambailey]

Hi Chef AJ ❤❤❤ watching from Massachusetts

[@traceykaminski7874]

Love your insatiable curiosity 🎉

[@michelemarston6149]

Love the sauces! What nut-free & seed-free food substitute can you use for the sunflower seeds in the garlic ginger sauce?

[@CHEFAJ]

Hi Colleen!

[@maryleejones3037]

I found the large rice paper wraps on Amazon 😃

[@onelazycat3183]

Can you put the link, I can’t find them, thanks.

[@dianatrans1804]

I use organic ginger, peel And all

[@Koort1008]

Best ever. Yum.

[@dianatrans1804]

Ocala, Florida

[@shelleyanne3522]

Hey Chef aj, just wondering if you are ok in this particular video. You seem a little different. Could be my imagination though. Are you ok?

[@Kalqshkin2]

She looks not healthy out,so skinny

[@jcsmith7898]

How many milligrams of salt in the coconut aminos is in the dressing?

[@TheKentuckylady717]

Where are the Wraps purchased ? I have never had them but my Daughter & I would love to make our own, sure we don't have any Restaurants like that around here ? What are the Restaurants called ? And what are the 2 names of these Wraps Angelique used.....are these good with sprouts on them too..... How long will they last in the Fridge. Thanks Chef AJ.....

[@CHEFAJ]

Please contact Angelique at [e-mail] for more information

[@barbarabrennan6811]

WOW! What amount of coconut aminos was that? Seemed like alot!

[@juliecampbell8791]

What about the site of Amy's Restaurant that recently closed? It's by the Galleria in Roseville.

[@kat4animals004]

Was that yummy AJ!?? Dang looks so good

[@chfa1032]

Is there a link to download the recipe?

[@ronmilford1358]

I want to say there’s some turnkey stuff in Warsaw, Indiana

[@juniajoseph8558]

Hi beautiful people I’m trying hardly to become vegan 🌱 but I always used meat for taste and to share to the rest of my family,my question is do I have to my food separately?

[@barbraw-backtoeden7419]

Chef AJ was hungry 😂

[@skippy6462]

It's a pity you can't buy your own premises.

[@robynkoehler1904]

Can I clarify something? With the orange, do you mean the whole outer part, the skin you normally peel? Sorry, just want to get it right. I can't wait to try all of the recipes!!

[@papiyonmov]

Yes, if you are able to see the video, I show putting the entire orange in, skin,/peel too.

[@robynkoehler1904]

@@papiyonmov Wonderful! I thought that is what it looked like and what you said, just wanted to make sure! Thank you for responding! What a wonderful interview and awesome recipes! Thanks again!!

[@papiyonmov]

My pleasure!

[@melindalachapell4478]

I ‘ve tried rice paper wraps and they are too sticky for me. I feel Like I’m eating cellophane wrap!

[@chantal-isabellebaribeault4033]

How to give up cream in coffee?

[@Flash777-b5p]

You don’t have to, just buy a good clean healthy vegan creamer with no added oils. I use one that in my herbal tea coffee that is pistachio cream made with oat milk and it’s really good. I use it sometimes on occasions. The herbal coffee is amazing too, it taste like coffee. You can also use soy milk in your coffee as well.

[@candjmunoz]

I never thought I could give up cream in my coffee. I used to say I liked coffee creamer more than I liked coffee. I started using soy milk and it's good! It has gotten to where I don't like the coffee creamer at all anymore because it tastes like chemicals to me. If you decide to do it and stick to it, your taste buds will adjust, and your body will thank you for it!

[@TheKentuckylady717]

These look so delicious, but need recipe to make them, she talks fast.....can't catch it all..... Chef AJ how can we get these two recipes?

[@LAKSHMIANGELES]

VERY NICE PRESENTATION AND INFORMATION, BUT WHERE'S THE WRITTEN RECIPE PLEASE? GOING BACK & FORTH ON THE VIDEO MAKES THE OBNOXIOUS 🤖ADS👻 APPEAR, PLUS IT TAKES FOREVER WITH SLOW INTERNET.🤷🏼. 🌺☮️💟🌺

[@heyjbjude]

You didn’t say the name of the book

[@papiyonmov]

Sweet Indulgence

[@JnTmarie]

Why don’t you make a book on wraps vs desserts? Surprised you made a dessert book. Are the desserts full of nutrients ?

[@skippy6462]

There's already a wraps recipe book that Chef AJ promotes. Can't remember the author. I'm certain that the desserts recipe book is nutritious healthy desserts. Hopefully buying it soon. I'm in the UK.

[@AsMr-km6ex]

The blender sounds like a voice, so weird!🙀

[@mariejones7136]

Why do her arms look like that ??

[@BritoWorx]

Malnutrition

Sooooo much talking, interruptions...... she didn't mention ingredients/quantities in that Thai Sauce.....

I WOULDN'T MAKE THE WRAPS SO FAT, YOU HAVE TO HAVE A HUGE MOUTH TO BITE INTO THEM.🙄😆😅

[@CHEFAJ]

🤣

[@HeartHealthyVegan]

Do you guys think the landlord was paid to kick you out by the meat and dairy industry

[@papiyonmov]

Naw, I don't think we're on their radar. It's fairly straightforward.... The building was gifted to a church a few years ago and then recently my lease ran out and the church decided they didn't want to be a landlord and would rather use the space for a clothing donation operation they have.

[@papiyonmov]

This is chef Angelique by the way :)

[@shirleygirl2953]

You talk sooooo much, get on with the making of the wrap!
