Why isn’t tomato paired with tangerine more frequently, I wonder? It’s a great combination… gorgeous on the plate, and the sweetness of the tangerine pairs so nicely with the acid in the tomatoes! This particular recipe has so many uses. You can serve as-is. You can add fresh greens and toss for a green salad, [...]
… and not that ground-up cauliflower “mashed potatoes” raw foodists try to pass off as the real thing. One thing I’ve said is that, if you want real mashed potatoes, just have the real cooked thing as it will never be possible in the raw world. Well, today I’m eating my words. If you’re a [...]
I love savory fruit salads, especially when the weather warms up. This one uses just a few completely pedestrian ingredients to give you something that’s both juicy and luscious. My son’s summation: “This salad is awesome.” You could feast on this quite satisfyingly for supper, but I could have this for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. [...]
This may very well be my favorite soup. After Cream of Tomato. It’s so simple, quite bland really, in that mashed-potato blandness that gives such comfort. And that’s the point… it’s warming, comforting, and simple. And there’s so much one can do to dress it up and give it more explosive flavor, if that’s what [...]
Two things I like when I’m eating… something warm and something I can enjoy with a fork, not just drink. And this simple broth brings both together, quickly, inexpensively, and very comfortingly. You can make this broth very mild… or extremely spicy! Make as-is, or jack up with garlic, fresh chiles, and fresh miso or [...]
This is wonderful soup for when you want something comforting, soothing, grounding, and warming… but which will enliven and nourish you rather than put you to sleep and slow you down. And although the recipe is “raw vegan”, it’s not just for raw food purists (which I am not)… there are many health-conscious raw food enthusiasts who do include lovingly raised [...]
This is one of those recipes I wish I’d known how to make back when I first encountered the whole raw & living food world. Would have made staying “high-raw” so much easier. This “hummus” is made from raw macadamia nuts and a few other utterly pedestrian ingredients. It takes only a few minutes, and [...]
This dressing is redolent — as they say — with garlic, and slightly sweet from medjool dates. And utterly scrumptious! If there are dressings that can make restaurants famous… and if I were a restaurant… I suspect this dressing would make me famous. What a fun idea. Ya simply gotta make it. Even if it [...]
This is another recipe I so wish I had conceived of earlier in life — makes me think, “Who knew?” What a luscious, satisfying combination, great for a quick breakfast (especially if you’ve made the Vanilla Milk the night before, from either raw pumpkin seeds or raw almonds), but also wonderful for a light supper [...]
Alone, this dish is like a raw pasta, which you can enjoy chilled or room temperature as a “pasta salad”, or which you can warm slightly to take the chill off in the oven (with temp set on “warm” and the door open, and your plate handle-able with bare hands). For those who are seeking [...]
