Corned Beetroot
Erm… WHAT and cabbage? Strange as it may sound, I honestly had no idea what “corned beef” was, or how such a thing was made, until just a few short weeks ago. I suppose it’s possible that some morbid curiosity at the name was what led me to sit still for long enough to find out… Cheers for the cringes, Food Network! 😛 Perhaps that’s only to be expected from someone who never really engaged in consumption of such things (though I can hardly believe that my 25th...

Happy Spring! In the spirit of all things fresh and green, I’ve decided to share my “Pi Day” project as part of a series of answers to commonly requested recipes. Please consider this as my St. Patrick’s Day gift to all, of which this post shall be the first installment.

That said, it became rather imperative for me to make a point of arranging something extra special for my Vernal Equinox blog post (you deserve it, and I am so grateful), despite still living in a sort of Luddite bliss with neither a...
Read MoreBuckwheat Preparation & Benefits
All About Buckwheat Buckwheat has been something of a staple in my diet for quite a few years, as it is a tasty, high-energy, gluten free food which is so easy to incorporate into many exceptionally satisfying raw vegan recipes for any occasion. Despite the rather deceptive name, buckwheat is neither related to wheat nor grain — it is actually a highly nutritious fruit seed related to rhubarb and sorrel! I recently noticed a great deal of feedback from readers, students, and attendees of Lorax...

Happy November! Is it just my imagination, or did October pass by with extraordinary speed? Although I am most attached to Summer, October has always carried a feeling akin to “Summer’s last breath.” For me, Hallowe’en is not only a celebration of harvest season, but also the harbinger of Winter Solstice… The very last celebration of life itself, just preceding the moment when everything goes into extreme hibernation mode until the arrival of Spring Equinox. In my mind,...
