Two weeks ago, I went on a short getaway to a lodge in Chiba, a prefecture north of Tokyo (but it is considered to be in the Greater Tokyo area). My friends drove up late Saturday afternoon and I thought a bento would be great if I needed to snack on the way up.
As I [...]
Sometimes if you don’t follow a recipe to the T, you will get a very different result. Today’s recipe is called an accidental thousand island dip because it was meant to be a “cheesy cheddar cheese” spread.
I took the recipe from a raw blog whose name I’ve forgotten. Although the ingredients were pretty much the [...]
I’m trying to get back to loving salads. I have a strange habit of not eating salads when the non-raw fiance is on his long business trips. Honestly, I’m not crazy about salads, but I adore raw soups, which are really blended salads.
But a raw girl needs variety, so I’m reaching out of my comfort [...]
I had a new pate lying around in my fridge so it was perfect for a super fast bento for a super busy day out.
Recipe (in a food processor):
1 cup soaked cashews
A handful coriander/cilantro
Juice of half a lemon
Pinch of curry powder
Salt to taste
A touch of water
This is not an original recipe of mine and I [...]

Yes, you read that right. I was so enamoured by all things raw, but recently, this way of eating has seem to have brought more stress than joy.

Nori rolls are a staple in my diet. It’s perfect for when I want something quick and easy, but not too plain. I only use toasted nori sheets but the rest of my ingredients are raw.
By hand, mash up one ripe avocado, shred one small cucumber, add 1 tsp of dried dill, ½ tsp of [...]
NOPE…
Raw vegan chocolate is pretty damn awesome.
The brand I like best so far is Gnosis because it is rich without being too cloying and one small piece really goes a long way for me.
I was never crazy about milk chocolate because I honestly don’t like the taste of milk. I used to eat it [...]
This is an old fave that I revisited recently. With the cold and taking on a more intense work out regime, I just wanted something very sweet heavy, which is unusual for me these days.
I thought of a raw muesli treat after my usual berry-hemp-spinach post-exercise smoothie.
I chopped up hazelnuts, cashews, walnuts, pecans, sunflower [...]
