When I served this, the kids at the table loved it… “Looks like blood!” Well, that’s not exactly how I’d put it, but.. yes… it sure is a striking dish. Substitute several mangoes instead of the cantaloupe and you’ll have another gorgeously simple dessert or breakfast option. It’s absolutely company-perfect, and you could probably whip [...]

The light, fresh taste of this super-creamy Banana Pudding is so compelling, you’ll want to just gobble up the whole batch! In fact, it would be a filling meal and great for a quick refreshing supper on a hot day… or a late-night treat. Shoot… gimme some for brekkies! There’s no milk in it, no [...]

I could eat this every day, for any meal. In fact, if you would kindly rummage a plate up for me now, I’d be quite pleased, thank you. It’s lusciously juicy, creamy, crunchy, sweet… with a bit of good salt to perk things up all the more. And completely pedestrian. No exotic superfoods here or [...]

At times this is a staple in our house. It’s just so brainlessly easy to make, and so ridiculously delicious, I love having it on the table to go owith whatever else is rummaged up. Fresh papaya is so succulent and rich… like juicy butter! It’s such a wonder that it has no fat in [...]

The way tomatoes taste in heaven… This is a sweet, tropical answer to the Bloody Mary, and I’ll bet you’ve never had anything like it! The intent of this recipe was to make a Tomato-Rose Sorbet sweetened with Mango, made creamy with Zucchini, and made aromatic with Rose Water. But it was so delicious, I [...]

This is another sorbet recipe given texture (but no fat) by using fresh zucchini! I love this sorbet for breakfast. I’m partial to papaya in the morning, so this makes a great recipe to keep in the freezer for a refreshing start to the day! The mango gives more body and substance… and certainly  makes [...]

My favorite way to enjoy this is actually as a slushie, straight out of the blender, when it’s flavors are so bright and untouched by the freezer. After all… and I’m actually a purist in this regard… something that’s been fully frozen is not technically raw. The cellular structure of the living foods, such as [...]

Since moving from New Jersey to Tampa, I’ve had to enlist a whole new crew of tasters of my recipes. Conveniently, my little nephews are 11 and 14 years old,not in the least “raw”, and thus perfect candidates in my mind for some good recipe feedback. I loved little 11-yr-old Jayson’s response… “Wow, this is gooooood! [...]

This is a serious beta carotene blast with explosive ginger flavor! And it retains a smooth, creamy texture in the freezer, unlike many raw sorbets which get kinda “sharp” and hard pretty quickly. I made a Ginger Float outa my portion… I scooped some of the Carrot-Mango-Ginger sorbet into a bowl and poured some of [...]

Raw sorbets commonly get “sharp” and crystalline when frozen. This one however remains smooth and creamy, without the use of any nut milks or oils. It’s also naturally sweet enough that you don’t have to add a sweetener, if you prefer to minimize the sweets (in fact, it has a faintly “grapefruit” freshness without grapefruits [...]
