I never go back for seconds of Brussel sprouts with a smile; they are a food I know is good for me and therefore I eat them. Until now. This dish is delicious! It is adapted from The Vegan Road by the amazing Patrick McGilvray. He is an avid athlete and studied plant-based nutrition at […]

Okay, I gave this another go. Changed the base, hoping to make it less sweet and finding a way to harden the pie without freezing it by mistake (which is what I did last time!) Much better this time. I dehydrated the base but you can still harden the base by placing it in the […]

As pignolis seem to have become more expensive than gold these days, and my windowsill basil continues to grow in the New York City sunlight, I am experimenting with different types of pesto. This is inspired by a recipe in the book Eat Taste Heal mixed with one in Raw Food. Ingredients: 1/4 cup walnuts […]

Ah, Autumn is upon us and Holiday season will be here before we know it. What does this mean for our CSA? SWEET POTATOES! Sweet potatoes are something to which I have become accustomed since moving to the States. I never really encountered them in the UK other than their similar counterpart, the yam. These […]

I had this in a Greek restaurant and, thanks to the internet, now I’m making it at home. This comes from Nancy Galfyllia on About.com in their Greek food section. I followed the recipe exactly the first time, and it was waaaayyyyy too pungent for me and my fellow diners. So, I tried again and […]

This is from an old and amazing Robert Carrier book, Gourmet Vegetarian. I love this particular salsa. I’ve been making it for years. And as organic tomato season comes to an end, it is a good one to celebrate the round, red fruit! Ingredients: 2 ripe beefsteak tomatoes 1 large red pepper, diced (I used […]

Marinara sauce, in Italy, is a seafood sauce – makes more sense with the derivation –  and Neapolitan is the classic tomato. Why did the names get switched around in the US? And, in Naples they call the classic Italian tomato sauce, salsa. I never thought a raw version of any of the above would […]

I love, love, love these! Thank you, Denise Mari from Organic Avenue for this delicious alternative to all that Halloween filled-with-chemicals-and-so-bad-for-you-in-so-many-ways candy. Instead, have raw brownies! I know, you’ll be disappointing the kids. But pleasing your tongue. So, there you go. I got all my ingredients from vitacost – you’ll see a discount code to […]

I have been drinking this every morning, this week. Yes, I know the photo looks like a rhino hide, but it is delicious. Mix it up – use coconut water instead of milk, etc. I just made one with 1.5 cups of coconut water ,no almond milk and 5 spinach leaves. It all tastes good. […]

As millions are poured into the Washington State fight to prevent our food being properly labelled, there is already a way we can identify genetically modified fruit and veg. It’s on the PLU. The romantic acronym for Price Look-Up. If it comprises four letters, it is a conventionally grown product. If it is five digits […]
