This is not my own recipe — though I wish it was. I nicked this from Kirsten’s Raw blog and I loved it. I’ve always been a fan of cherries and chocolate but never thought it would be possible in a smoothie. I didn’t freeze my fruit like what Kirsten did but I chucked some [...]
Pure decadence. I made Alissa Cohen’s raw blueberry pie and I loved it. But I like variety and non-raw fiancé wasn’t around to help me eat it, so I whipped up some vegan chocolate sauce (two tbs of cocoa powder and a huge drizzle of maple syrup) and poured it over a slice. I also [...]
This must be my lazy-gal salad of all time — I don’t even have a dressing for this. As I travel along this raw path, convenience (after nutrition — always number one) trumps everything else. Okay, flavour is important, too, but seriously, doesn’t making food several times a day get you down sometimes? Other than [...]
It’s been a week since I got back from the US and I’m feeling a little swamped. On top of never-ending piles of work, I’ve been training for a half-marathon that’s happening at the end of May. I’m happy to report that eating a high-raw vegan diet has helped my aches and pains melt away [...]
A friend came to stay in my apartment in Tokyo for a holiday and she got me this Totoro bento set as a gift. Totoro is a character in Hayao Miyazaki’s famous anime movies, My Neighbor Totoro, and Spirited Away. I packed some leftover raw coleslaw, an avocado, and a few frozen raw chocolate truffles. [...]
Found this at a Whole Foods in NYC… It’s rich, creamy, and the eternally perfect combination of cherry and chocolate is just divine…
“Maximum yield” were two words on my mind when I shopped at a Whole Foods near my hotel in SF. I didn’t want to weigh myself down with fruit that needed to be cut nor did I want to make anything more complicated than a smoothie. Also, since I was going to be less raw, [...]
It seems like a lot of effort to buy produce to keep in my hotel room so I could have a blended raw breakfast, but it feels worth it. I may go cooked vegetarian for lunch and dinner, depending on where we stop and what’s available, so my raw brekkie keeps my insides whirring. I [...]
