Raw sweets are often based on coconut, date and nuts for good reason: it’s a delicious combination. I’m crazy about cardamom and rose so I like to keep these around for a sweet treat and to accompany a nice cup of tea. They are best served nice and cold. I recommend Perl’Amande raw almond butter.

For those who don’t believe that vegans can possibly be getting enough protein, one easy answer is hemp, which is 33% protein. Add to that the essential fatty acids and vitamin E and you have a very important food. Hemp seeds are nice eaten by the spoonful, generously sprinkled on salads, added to smoothies or [...]

A green smoothie is a fruit smoothie with lots of fresh greens added to it. I think they are delicious and are a great way to add even more greens to your diet. There are loads of great recipe combinations available online and whole books written on the subject. My fave is a recipe my [...]

If you are thinking about eating more raw veggies, dipping crudités is a great place to start. But of course some of the most popular dipping delights are creamy and cow-milk based. A great alternative for almost any creamy sauce can be made from nuts and seeds: like today’s recipe which is based on cashew nuts, which are a [...]

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 [...]

Sunday Recipe: Raw Flax Crackers

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

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 [...]
