Such a pretty salad… like confetti! And another good template recipe to know because there are so many ways you can play with it. The heart of this one is fresh cucumbers (I generally use the long, thin “British” cukes) with a combination of sweet red, orange, and or yellow peppers. The dressing is made [...]
Yesterday at the “contemporary Mexican” restaurant Sinigual here in Tampa, my mother ordered a romaine hearts salad with a creamy cilantro dressing that had been thickened with a parmesan-like cheese. And my immediate thought… sunflower seeds! They are excellent at providing a dairy-like flavor and approximating a cheesy texture in certain recipes. So I knew [...]
Super-quick, super-flavorful, and made with Utterly Pedestrian ingredients so easy to keep on hand! Enjoy without the meatballs — super-delish on its own, over “noodles” or “spaghetti” made from fresh, raw baby zucchini — or make a side of meatballs for a heartier repast! And even if you make the whole Spaghetti & Meatball affair… [...]
Want something warm, savory, starchy and comforting to go with your amazing “Mushroom Tapenade” dinner tonight? You can make this gently-warmed-but-still-raw “polenta” using corn freshly cut from the cob! Probably takes no more than 5 minutes to make, including cutting the corn off, so — as nearly all of the recipes on this site are [...]
I must be doing something right in the kitchen, because here’s another recipe I just wasn’t fast enough to grab my portion! Sure, as the chef de cuisine, I get my taste, but so often everything disappears before I can settle down for a good munch! In this case, my son scurried away with two [...]
This low-fat dressing is made rich and creamy with… fresh corn off the cob! You’d never know. In addition, while one of the things I have never liked about most fruity vinaigrette salad dressings is that they are too tart, and certainly destroy the ability to enjoy a glass of wine with your salad (which [...]
If the last recipe I posted, an amazingly juicy & satisfying ”meat substitute” out of Mushrooms, is the “Meat” in your living-foods equation, this dish is the “potatoes”… a comforting, filling, satisfying starch dish that will leave you feeling grounded and full. I love fresh, just-picked corn off the cob in recipes because it has so [...]
This is a potential life-changing, culture-changing recipe, one I wish I knew how to make back in April 2005 when I first embarked on a journey of discovery with raw and living foods. You could be a meat-eater and eat this instead of meat, and be satisfied. That is not only my own sentiment, but [...]
Oh for a bit of jalapeño and a handful of cilantro! They would make this salad just over-the-top yummy, yet my fridge was bare of these two staples. Even so… I mangia-ed this entire recipe for my dinner and it was wonderfully satisfying! Crunchy, juicy, sweet, with some of the comforting squoosh from the bananas [...]
Ho ho ho, this is great. If you are like me and crave rich, satisfying, savory, even “meaty” meals (tho they be raw and enlivening), things you can eat with a fork and not need anything else to round out the meal, this is it. Similar to yesterday’s recipe, another “Caesar” salad concoction, this one [...]
