Cooking Raw Food?


Cooking Raw Food?  That really is a bit of a contradiction. The bottom line is this, raw and living food can be quite amazing.  I have picked up so many fantastic recipes while here and it has inspired me to have a raw food dinner party when I return home.  Who's in?  I think the best recipies that I have sampled are a un-tuna and a bruchetta. What are the main ingredients in these? Nuts! That being said, many of these dishes, although delicious, are very rich.  The bruchetta is a raw flax cracker, topped with a thin layer of nut cheese made from mac nuts and lemon, then topped with raw, sun-dried olives and sprouts.

The un-tuna is made with sunflower seeds, lemon, braggs, blended with chunks of celery and onion added for texture.  It is very, very good and can be served as a side dish, or with veggies or flax crackers and the best part, super quick and easy to prepare. How about living veggie burgers, sushi, dessert?   I am not going to give away the secrets of the exact preparations or recipes ...  you'll have to come and see for yourselves.  We will go through the preparation together, followed by a four course dinner.  Date and time to be announced.

One final note ... there is now a place to enter your email address at the top of the blog, I believe this will enable you to get the postings by email if this is easier.
