This is an excellent side dish for a raw pot luck, or to perk up an everyday family meal. Citrusy, crunchy, creamy, slightly sweet, refreshing, and unexpectedly minty, it would make a great accompaniment and counterpoint for many other dishes. Oh, and also… it’s very pretty on the table. For someone preparing a cooked meal [...]
Creamy milk, heavenly vanilla…and a bit of vodka to jack up the festival spirit. This soothing raw vegan cocktail is not just luxurious, but refreshing as well. “Momma’s Milk” was originally a dairy cocktail made with cane sugar, and here I’ve transposed it into a version made with fresh almond milk. I am forever seeking [...]
This dish is a winner, with its pairing of fresh sweet papaya just exploding with juice and giant medjool dates, which go beautifully with garlic, lime, and olive oil. Topped with chopped salted macadamia nuts, it’s a beautiful dish for entertaining as well as for your own private table. A simple “raw compote”, this dish [...]
When I released my “Super Chocolate” Raw Chocolate Truffle Bar recipe, I had a request from one reader for a “milk” chocolate recipe…and so here it is. Lighter, creamier, and smoother, it still has that intense chocolate flavor that dark chocolate lovers adore, but is milder for those that prefer the milkier variety. Obviously, in [...]
With its soothing texture and hit of lemon, this warm, creamy soup reminds me of Greek “avgolemono soupa”. You can prepare the soup quite mild, for children, or add lemon and garlic on the heavy side to make the soup explode with flavor. Jacking up the fresh herbs in the recipe will also give an [...]
To be honest, in my home this martini is known by a slightly abbreviated nickname with a much steamier connotation. Chalk it up to my bawdy Greek sensibilities. But by whatever name you choose, this is a lovely concoction made from two of the fruits most famous around the world for inspiring amorous sentiments: the [...]

My Background I’ve been a lover of great food as far back as I can remember. I relished working side-by-side with my mother from childhood to prepare the exquisite Greek dishes that were such a part of my upbringing, and I started pouring my attention over cookbooks in elementary school, launching an early passion [...]
If I had little kids, I know that some variation of this recipe would be a daily staple on the kitchen table. This mild-flavored dish is sweet, creamy, and sooooo much healthier than cooked grains with milk. It’s chockfull of calcium from almonds, and essential fatty acids, protein, fiber (and many other good things…) from hemp seeds [...]

Anyone who knows me knows I am a HUGE fan of Greek-style spaghetti. It is a highly enjoyable part of the non-raw, non-vegan portion of my diet. Yet I’ve wished many times that there were a way to create a healthy raw vegan equivalent that also actually tasted great and gave that hit of “comfort” [...]
