beans

So when you are eating cooked food, then green beans present no problem, but what to do with them when you want to eat them raw and have a load from the garden. You could just pick them up one by one and drag them through a tasty raw humous. My internet search produced a number of yummy looking salads and some snacky dehydrated bean on a site picklemetoo.com. I found a couple of similar recipes. One of them is partly raw and the other is … [Read more...]

kohlrabi

In years gone by I used to get seed from Europe where Kohlrabi grows soooo well and we used to grow it as part of our discovery of new vegetables. I have not grown it for years as you never see the seed, but I do buy it whenever I see it. I have just bought 4 bulbs and immediately went onto the internet to see whether you can eat Kohlrabi raw. I was delighted to see that kohlrabi can be prepared in a number of rawfood dishes. My usual method … [Read more...]

kimchi1

I have made Kimchi on a number of occasions and found that this is for me the most successful raw recipe. Traditional kimchi requires anchovy or fish paste to be added to the sauce but being a vegetarian I give that a miss and add either red miso if available or a soya type sauce such as tamari or nama shoyu. Remember that these all all very salty and should be used with caution. An essential ingredient for Kimchi is the special Korean chilli … [Read more...]

spina-w-sauce

I was really excited when I saw this recipe with a base that was made with something other than nuts. In addition, the base can be used for an other savory pie or made into small pies. This pie is very tasty, inexpensive and not difficult to make in spite of the number of ingredients looking a bit wow! I made half the ingredients. The spinach which is the most quantity can be adjusted according to your pie dish. Oh, and another thing, I smeared … [Read more...]

crisp

Well  I have made quite  a number of different  dehydrated crackers that have been absolutely delicious. Crackers are something, I think, that makes a dehydrator such a worthwhile purchase. But, NEVER have I seen raw crisps like these that look JUST LIKE your standard junkfood greasy crisps. Fortunately, they dont taste anything like them. When I make my crackers I process with either the Vitamix blender or the Oscar Juicer (with the … [Read more...]

crock-pot-sauerkraut

Growing up in a South African home with British influence, sauerkraut was not a food that I was ever offered.  I was familiar with what it looked like because our Jewish neighbours  grandparents were from Lithuania where sauerkraut was a regular part of the diet. So, although I had never tasted it, it was like I already kind of knew it. Many years later when I discovered how good it was for digestion and the colon and I purchased a tin of … [Read more...]

soup

One of the most popular uses of the super blender  is to make a tasty raw soup in the winter. So many times, like most of us, we rushed into the house arriving right on mealtime with nothing instant to  eat and not wishing to compromise by eating junk (which you don't really find in my house anyway). It takes approximately 4 1/2 min to make soup for 4 to 6 people with a super blender. I use either the Vitamix or the Hi-Blend to make my yummy … [Read more...]

Whole young coconut

Do you do Raw and miss yoghurt or perhaps you just do not do dairy. Young coconuts make an amazing smoothie, and then if you like you can go one step further, and make some raw, non dairy yoghurt. South Africans from western descent are not that familiar with young coconuts as these are truly tropical fruits. This was the situation until recently where you can now even find young coconuts in Cape Town to satisfy the needs of raw fooders and … [Read more...]
