Raw hauls

Since I live in Tokyo, I don’t get access to many “cool” raw food items but I really need the variety to keep my meals exciting. I’m lucky that the non-raw fiance flies to the US regularly so I get him to buy me some raw goodies. But he has a rule: no liquids. That’s [...]

Raw Food Journal: Late Spring 2011

Thanks for all your lovely and kind comments on my Midnight Pancakes post. I was feeling very emo and needed some support… Today, I thought I would write what I eat for folks who are interested in what a typical day of food is like for me in Tokyo. It really changes all the time [...]

Green smoothie nausea – help

Lately, I have been a bit dismayed that green smoothies are making feel nauseous — it’s so strange because I adore green smoothies. [And no, I'm not pregnant...] I had a large serving of my raw banana split one night and the day after everything felt wrong. I couldn’t stomach raw food. I had a [...]

Tokyo Is OK 東京はOKです

Hello my lovelies, I have decided to make another video after a long hiatus from Youtube. I have been bombarded with many questions about Tokyo after the Mar 11 earthquake/tsunami/nuclear disasters so I thought a video would be a much better way to address these concerns.
