Raw Foods. Food Raw. Raw Food Diet. The Secret to Raw Food Recipes is Time.

One would think “cooking” Raw would be as simple as slicing and dicing.  Previously mentioned  it takes hours in preparation for each experiment!  I was not sure if  setting up my telephone line in the St. Thomas took a longer 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 that we endured (along with my patients to get the other half fed!)  The  natural energy levels that I had after just 2 days of eating raw was one that I had never experienced.  I felt like I was in a formula 1 car 16 hours a day!

Below is the making of walnut “whipped cream” and fresh fruit dessert.

*The walnut whip cream had a denser texture that had an incredible aroma of vanilla, creamy texture, and full of great nutrients.  How could you go wrong!

   your dishes sound very good but the prep time and effort
   are more like Sous vide cooking. Tried the raw food restaurant on
   Greenville. Not for me. The only energy rush I got was when I got
   the check!

   They actually didn’t close, they just moved locations. They are right by my office in the Park Cities (in Preston Center on Berkshire Lane). I haven’t been since they moved, but the best thing I tried when I went there was the elixir sample tasting, 3 different types, all delicious!
