Day 24a: I can’t stop snacking on this. It is very rich, though, so I only pick at a little at a time. I made more pasta just so I could put this on the top. I halved the ingredients and it was plenty. I’ll put the full recipe below. Ingredients: 2 cups raw pine […]

Basil Pesto with Truffled Parmesan
Day 24: The pasta sauce is adapted from Raw Food by Elrica Palmcrantz and Irmela Lilja . I added a whole bunch of basil rather than one sprig. I had never thought pesto could ever work without Parmesan cheese, but it totally does. Plus, if I used it on vegetables or some kind of vegetable […]
Roasted Root Vegetable Salad with Almond Protein Dressing
Day 23: I did not expect to make this today and I was pleasantly surprised by the dressing. It is from Gena Henshaw’s Choosing Raw website. Ingredients: For salad: Handful of baby organic spinach leaves 1 large parsnip, cut into fingers and roasted 1 large carrot, cut into fingers and roasted Handful of dried cranberries […]
Noodles and Gravy
Day 22: Yes, this is a vegan dish! Noodles and gravy is what my friends Mary and Jeff would call this dish. They are both Italian-Americans. Me? I would call this pasta with neopolitan sauce, but in America, I’d be wrong. In Italy, and in England, they call the standard tomato sauce Neopolitan and the […]
Spinach Flan
Day 21: Getting fancy. Everyone in my family loves this dish including my ‘what’s-the-meaning-of-tofu’ husband. I have only ever made pastry with butter – yes, BUTTER – but I was delighted by the flakiness of this pastry. This is from Isa Chandra Moskowitz, courtesy of my friend Nicole. I added sliced mushrooms – just add […]
Creamy Lettuce, Cabbage and Pea Shoot salad with Citrus Dressing
Day 20: I’m in the double tens! Whoop! I just love organic lettuce from the farmer’s market picked that day. It is incredibly creamy, delicious and unlike anything I can buy in a supermarket. I just mixed it with some cabbage and peashoots and a light, lemony dressing. Ingredients: 1/2 ib fresh mixed lettuce Handful […]
Beet Rawvioli
Day 19: Okay, so today I braved a full-on raw dish. We have so much beetroot from our Winter CSA, I am trying out all kinds of beet dishes. This one comprises marinaded, sliced beets with a nutpaste (‘cheese’ – it’s nothing like cheese-) filling. There are a few of these recipes around and this […]
Ganesha’s Sweet Potatoes
Day 16: We have so many sweet potatoes, I am looking all over for recipes. This is from Kimberly Snyder. I halved the amounts. Ingredients: 2 pounds sweet potatoes, cut into 2-inch chunks 2Tbs coconut oil 1 Tbs Curry Powder (I use hot curry powder) 1/2 Tsp turmeric 1 Tsp Celtic or Himalayan sea salt […]
Spinach, Green Beans and Roasted Sweet Potatoes
Day 15: I wanted something simple and quick to add to leftovers from the previous days. Ingredients: Handful of ready washed, organic baby spinach leaves Handful of organic green beans, lightly steamed 1/2 cup sweet potatoes, cubed 1/2 Tblsp olive oil Vinaigrette: Pinch sea salt 1 Tbls balsamic vinegar 3 Tbls olive oil Toss sweet […]
No Salt and Vinegar Kale Chips
Day 14: I love these kale chips. My husband loves these kale chips. My baby loves these. Even my died-in-the-wool-New-Englander mother-in-law loves these. She went from ‘they sound terrible,’ to ‘they’re quite good.’ I have tried all kinds of kale chip recipes. I am not a fan of the cashew nut based ones you get […]
