Since I’m getting into marathons, I decided to increase my protein intake to help me recover faster. Actually I was quite happy with hemp protein shakes but I was wondering if I would feel any different if I amped things up. The reason why I wanted to explore rice protein powders was because I heard [...]
I LOVE raw coleslaw and I pretty much love drizzling raw mayo (recipe here) on other things too and one of them is zucchini pasta. I’ll sprinkle a ton of black pepper and top the noodles with yellow and red baby tomatoes to make the dish more colourful. This is another summer meal I like [...]
Lettuce wraps are creeping back into my meals in this warm weather. And I’ve suddenly had an aversion to nut pates which were a staple in winter for me. All I want are smoothies, nut milks, juices, and avocado. The odd flax cracker may get a nibble but I’m wanting them less and less. Thank [...]
I am a terrible blogger — I forgot I had pictures of Grezzo, Alissa Cohen’s Italian raw restaurant in North End, Boston, which I took back in April. I’m a big fan of Alissa’s un-cookbook, Living On Live Food, and you would’ve read that some of my recipes were taken or adapted from her book. [...]
When I’m not feeling well, or hung over, or it’s the time of the month, I tend to crave more cooked food. This is probably an unhealthy confession and I’m trying to get over it, but I feel guilty when I eat cooked food in the day. As a general rule, I am always raw [...]
Of late, I’ve been changing up my smoothie habits. I used to put spinach in every single smoothie I made but I’ve had different cravings lately. This is frozen pineapple, banana, hemp seeds and cilantro/coriander. I cannot live without hemp seeds now and I just love how they make the flavour of my green drinks [...]
I made one serving because I don’t like keeping rock hard raw ice-cream in the fridge. Defrosted ice-cream ain’t the same. Recipe (in a blender): 1 cup cashews, soaked 8 dates, soaked 3 tbs cocoa powder 1 vanilla pod (tiny) Pinch of vanilla essence 1/2 cup water Let this smoothie chill in the fridge for [...]
Every once in a while I’ll ferment some kimchi in my own home. I don’t like store-bought kimchi because it has fish sauce (smelly!) and rice flour. I would say this is high-raw kimchi because I used Korean red pepper flakes and toasted sesame oil, but still pretty wholesome in my opinion. My humble recipe [...]
Check it out….I’ve gone Japan-mad: I’ve got a Hello Kitty bento set. The same friend who gifted me the Totoro bento gave me this set. She knows how much I love bento-making… I used it as a dessert and fruit bento: a raweo and dried cherries, plus blueberries and half an orange. The orange made [...]
It’s been a long time coming but I would really like to talk a little about this e-book that was published late last year. Me Raw You Cooked is written by Emma and Rod MacDougall from the UK and it’s about their story as a raw-cooked couple and tips on how to navigate such a [...]
