Elisabeth Saucier: Founder
Zaza Raw Founder, Elisabeth Saucier, grew up with friends and family calling her Zaza. Her nutritional needs, culinary expertise and love for a challenge inspired the launch of the business and the creation of each product. As my kids were growing up, they noticed certain foods were causing among other discomforts, stomach aches, ear infections,
rashes and lethargy. Some reactions were much more obvious than others which complicated the discovery of the food allergies. One of the greatest comforts of motherhood is having healthy, happy children.
While cooking raw, vegan and gluten free food takes planning and time, it is worth the effort to see my children energetic and happy after each meal. Once they identified and eliminated gluten, soy, and dairy, my kids and I needed to figure out how to navigate the daily challenges of a specialized diet. I wanted my kids to be able to go to a friend’s birthday party and share the joy of cupcakes and other desserts. When I discovered that raw food was gluten free, dairy free and amazingly good I began creating kid friendly vegan, raw desserts. I spent a few years challenging myself to create healthier and more interesting raw desserts. In 2011, I started Zaza Raw to make raw, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, and soy free dessert available to others.
