The "slight" time consuming moments of Raw Food
| 09 May 2010
One would think “cooking” Raw would be as simple as slicing and dicing.. as mentioned before it took hours in preparation for each experiment… I was not sure if trying to set up my telephone line in the Caribbean took a shorter amount of time… regardless, it was a test of patients in comparison to actually heating up a sauté pan and whipping up dinner!
In order to do some of the experiments we had to sprout dry seeds –which took between 30 min-6 hours…
It was all worth the time and effort-the natural energy levels that I had after just 2 days of eating raw was one that I had never experienced. It was unreal, in my opinion it was a natural feeling only achieved by “going raw”
Below is the making of "whipped cream"-it was beyond good (that is if you have the patients...)Walnuts-soaked in cold water for 2 hourscocounut water-from fresh cocounutmaple syrupvanilla extractpinch of cinnamon

Raw Food Snacks

Food Blogging- what is it?
For me, it is not about writing on meaningless topics & nonsense (especially critiquing restaurants) .. it’s about sharing things that have expanded my knowledge, inspired my creativity, or bring back an emotional tie. In addition, educating others from my experiences is my goal-whatever the topic may be. Its simple, keep it real.
My ultimate goal is to inspire others to–TRAVEL. COOK. & EAT.
“Un-cooked” madness-
After 2 days of nipping at raw seeds and nuts, I realized I needed to put together some “snacks”.. this being a bit challenging because most people grab the box of wheat thins and kick back in front of the tube… Not this week—it was all about that wonderful food I was set out to create all with the wonderful and challenging factor of that magic 120 degree mark!
Some of the snacks that were basic and fairly tasty were…
Cinnamon and nutmeg dusted banana chips (make sure to use raw bananas!), papaya chips, Asian marinated beef jerky (which turned out more like crackers…) I was a big fan, but had mixed reviews from the co-pilot.
Each of the above items took between 24-36 hours to dehydrate… tisk tisk.. there is no question I should have started preparing these items in advance.
Rules & Guidelines of Raw Food Experiment
| 02 May 2010
After years of pondering what would it be like to only eat RAW food I decided to take the challenge… I did not do this for the trendy diet/cleansing aspect but for the culinary challenge. After a little convincing and flattery I somehow managed to get a co-pilot for this experiment! (ahh, the art of flattery…)
