Hi everyone, thanks for your enthusiastic comments in my last post on dealing with raw turbulence. I’m enjoying the dialogue and it’s why I keep this blog alive. Today I’m going to talk about a brand of chia seeds, MILA, that was introduced to me by a fellow rawbie in Tokyo, Trine Mork. She very [...]
Last April in New York, I went to Rockin’ Raw with my bestie again. I think it’s becoming a ritual — me likey. I can’t get enough of this place and when I look at the pictures, I want to fly back just to eat their food. We did a relaxing session of Yoga in [...]
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 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. [...]
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 [...]
Lucky me: I got to eat at not one, but two, very famous raw restaurants in the US. NYC’s Pure was fabulous, so I had pretty high expectations for Café Gratitude in San Francisco. I knew that Café Gratitude was not fine dining but I heard pretty awesome reviews about their food. The non-raw boyfriend [...]
“Is this the big one, babe?” the non-raw boyfriend teased. Despite all his bravado about how he cannot think without meat, he was the one who nudged me to try Pure Food & Wine. I mean, I definitely wanted to go but none of my friends were keen because it was pricey or they just [...]
It is incredible how the universe works her mysterious ways. Would you believe that the person who inspired me to go raw was actually at Quintessence at the same time as me? I’d actually heard of the raw food diet two years ago but I read very dry articles on it and filed it into [...]
I told you I was on a raw vegan/vegan restaurant hunt during my trip in the US. I’ve still got a few more reviews up my sleeve, if you can believe it. Before trotting off to the American Museum of Natural History, I took myself to Columbus Ave (between 82nd and 83rd Street) to try [...]
Located in Williamsburg, Rockin’ Raw was one of the best raw restaurants I went to in NYC. The food was Creole and Peruvian inspired so it was full of flavour and packed a real punch. My bestie lives in this lovely hippie corner in NYC, so we did lunch at Rockin’ Raw to fuel up [...]
