Sunny Citrus & Cilantro Cooler
Happy Spring! As mentioned in my previous posting, last month was largely spend fasting on water and saline cleansing my entire system. After all of that was finished, I opted to take my “reacquaintance” (re-introduction to caloric intake) melon in juice form – mainly because I really don’t care much for watermelon in solid fruit form. I realise it sounds a bit strange to the rest of the world, but I honestly cannot stand the sugary, sticky consistency in my mouth/teeth (or cleaning up the...

This rather large, raw, & completely vegan brunch was so incredibly filling! Also pictured here is some of the raw/vegan “butter” I recently shared on the blog, which has since been made by numerous readers & even described as “The Holy Grail of raw/vegan butter” by another blogger (who appears to be neither raw nor vegan). It had been years since having been able to utilise that recipe in any way (there’s little need for margarine or “butter” in a raw, largely...

Oh… My… Goodness! Life has been a bit of a whirlwind since Spring began & the new site was launched.

I was able to focus a great deal of energy on my studies (yet another...

This raw/vegan “butter”/margarine recipe is not only quick and easy, but also free of palm & hydrogenated oils. The base is comprised of one of the healthiest (and most delicious) fats available: a very mildly flavoured, raw, unrefined coconut oil. Despite having been unable to eat any of my own experiments over the past few weeks (I have been fasting & juicing only), my “taster” assured me that this particular batch was divine and tasted “very much like salted butter.”...
Read MoreHempseed Mayonnaise
“Mayonnaise” made from hulled hemp seeds started off as an experiment, and has since evolved into one of my most highly praised and requested specialty condiment formulations. It’s one of my elementary menu items for teaching in workshops which I also enjoy using in various dishes on occasion. This simple blend is rich in protein and valuable omega fatty acids, whilst adding a creamy consistency to every dish blessed with its presence. It works exceptionally well in mock tuna salad, and also...
Read MoreAvocado Pesto
After 30+ days into my Lenten fast from tree nuts, I’ve found myself simplifying meal preparation by using fewer ingredients requiring of less processing. Thanks to my absolute favourite farm-direct source for fresh fruit (via Lorax Community’s weekly food cooperative) I found myself with MANY avocados on my hands – many of them ripening simultaneously! As such, I felt it wise to use several at once in various new ways and so… Avocado pesto was created. Ingredients 2 ripe avocados (skinned...
