After a year and a half in Paris, today I finally visited Pousse-Pousse and my bitter regret at not having gone there long ago is exceeded only by the intense joy I experienced while eating at this Raw oasis in the city. Pousse-Pousse is a small and elegant raw organic vegetarian restaurant. We arrived and [...]

Bob’s Juice Bar
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged 10ème, Juice, Organic, Raw, Restaurant, Review on February 1, 2009 | 5 Comments »
There are a number of juice bars in town, but unfortunately a lot of them try to get away with pouring you some pasteurized juice from a bottle. If I am going to hit the juice bar, I want them to really get the juice out of some real fruit for me, which is one [...]
Freeze-dried Durian
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Groceries, Raw on January 29, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Durian, a.k.a. “King of the Fruits” or, less flatteringly, “Stinky Fruit” grows throughout Southeast Asia. It has a dangerously spiky exterior but inside hide rich and smooth soft pillows of delicious delight. There’s nothing like fresh durian but I was excited to find these freeze-dried packets at Tang Frères for ony 2€10. I found it very [...]
Sunday Recipe: Raw Arugula Soup
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Organic, Raw, Recipe, Soup, Sunday on January 25, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Arugula is pretty easy to come by here in Paris. And I think at 14€ a kilo even President Obama would approve! I paid 78 centimes for the organic arugula in this recipe. Arugula is an excellent source of antioxidants, rich in vitamins A and C, folic acid, calcium, manganese, and magnesium. It contains carotenes and [...]
Essene Macaroons
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Groceries, Raw on January 18, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I don’t know if the Essenes, the mysterious Jewish sect that flourished from the 2nd century BCE to the 1st century CE, really ate macaroons or not but I do know that I like the ‘Macarons Essene’ that Gaia makes. These macaroons are a sweet, naturally gluten-free treat, made from sprouted quinoa and sprouted buckwheat [...]

It’s cold in Paris, so I thought it would be nice to have a little taste of the tropics with this Raw Banana Coconut Cream Pie in a macadamia nut crust. Recipe: Crust: 2 cups raw macadamia nuts, chilled 1 cup shredded dry coconut 2 tbsp lime or lemon juice 2 tsp vanilla extract 1/2 [...]
Coconuts

One of the first staples that I made sure to track down after deciding to move to Paris was Young Thai Coconuts. Yes, Young Thai Coconuts. There are lots of fun things you can do with a coconut, but the one I like best is chopping the top off and pouring out the fresh coconut [...]
Sunday Recipe: Raw Flax Crackers
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Raw, Recipe, Sunday on January 4, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Today’s recipe is the raw food classic, Flax Crackers. Flax seeds are great because they contain high levels of lignans and Omega-3 fatty acids. Lignans are said to benefit the heart, possess anti-cancer properties and all kinds of good stuff. Here is what my old pediatrician Dr. William Sears has to say on the subject: Flax oil and flax seeds are [...]
Sunday Recipe: Raw Green Pea Hummus
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Groceries, Raw, Recipe, Sunday on December 28, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
My sister introduced me to this very quick, easy and yummy hummus recipe. And it’s raw! I use the organic frozen peas from Picard or Naturalia. Peas are generally frozen shortly after picking (but some brands may be blanched prior to freezing.) Frozen products are still considered raw: although a small amount of enzymes are [...]
Vegan Soaps and Creams

When you eat vegan, you also start thinking about what you’re putting on the outside of your body. After all, your skin is your largest organ. So I am a bit particular about the soap I use. I had heard a lot of good things about the company Lush. It’s absolutely great that they are [...]
