This must be the best raw pad thai I’ve made. Adapted from RawFu’s Lowanna’s video, this will quell any noodle craving. Kelp noodles: Soak in water, lemon juice, and soy sauce for at least 30 min Vegetables: marinate cabbage, carrot, cucumber, basil, garlic, ginger, green onion, red capsicum in shoyu, lemon, and black pepper, for [...]
I just listened to Karen Knowler’s The 4 Juiciest Secrets to Going and Staying Raw and I feel comforted, relieved, and inspired. I would highly recommend this recording if you are restless and discontented. I’m at a crossroads where I find it hard to be raw (emotionally and socially) but yet I feel enormously awful [...]
I’m addicted to this malty drink. It’s not chocolatey but definitely in the sweet dessert drinks’ zone. Recipe: Nut/seed milk (I like to use pecans and pumpkin seeds but you can choose any mix you want or stick to one seed/nut) Sweetener; 3 dates and/or a handful raisins (sometimes I use 4 dried papaya sticks) [...]
This is a very simple bento I put together as a snack while I was out. The top layer had a fluffy, yummy raw onion dip and baby tomatoes (this is a fave snack of mine). The bottom layer held raw Italian flax crackers and dried papaya sticks. Recipe: 1/4 white onion 1/2 cup macadamia [...]

I think it’s about time I update my foray into the raw food diet. Readers of this blog must’ve thought my tentative steps into this radical lifestyle were just experimental, but shortly after starting I fell in love with the exuberance raw food gave me. Unfortunately, the great new physical well-being came with some emotional [...]
These are gooey bits of cinnamon-flavoured raw cake. Messy but oh-so-good. Do freeze them to retain their cake-like texture as they become a bit too liquidy at room temperature due to the apple. Takes an hour in the freezer to get the perfect consistency. Verdict: Ice-cream-like apple cinnamon muffins – heaven! Recipe for muffin (food [...]
I headed out of town for a beach party at Zushi, an hour and a half away from Tokyo. Long hours away from my kitchen means…bento time! Marinated mushrooms topped with raw cheddar cheese on a leaf of kale, plus some parsley as decoration. I filled the rest of the space with baby tomatoes. In [...]
Yes, I do get moments where un-cooking is a chore. So I dig into my stash of raw breads to make a sandwich. Today’s sandwich consists of raw onion bread (the best!), avocado, tomato/cucumber salsa with a sprinkle of black pepper. The onion bread was very dense so two small sandwiches were enough to satisfy [...]
I used to love cream of mushroom but had always got tummy troubles due to my lactose intolerance. When I turned raw, I wanted to re-create it and tried various recipes and the cream replacement was invariably almond milk. I wasn’t overly fond of the slight almond aroma mingled with mushrooms but obviously most raw [...]
