Hello, fellow chocolate snobs. Or should I say, true chocolate lovers. This recipe is for you. It’s all about using the best quality raw cacao ingredients that you can find. In Australia, that means Loving Earth – their single origin, fair trade, organic and truly raw cacao products are insanely amazing. Unfortunately I don’t know about [...]
Check out this cake! I’ve been thinking for a while about what I’d like to call the Fun Principle. So often this whole raw-health-nutrition scene gets so serious. And yeah, on one level it IS incredibly serious. We’ve talking about our health here, and as the old saying goes, what have we got if we [...]
When I feel emotionally drained, stressed or otherwise out of sorts, I find the most soothing thing to do is to get into the kitchen. As I begin chopping, mixing, molding and, yes, tasting, I feel myself relaxing, my posture softening, my breath slowing, my mind quieting. I work on instinct, sometimes referring to various [...]
This is a celebration cake! It features a chocolate cookie crust filled with layers of rich chocolate ganache and orange cream. I actually made it about a month ago for a raw potluck that got canceled at the last minute, so instead of attempting to devour the whole thing myself, I stuck it in the [...]
Grrrrr-awnola and Buckwheaties: Crunchy goodness in a jar. Breakfast rocks! There’s something so lovely about waking up, with a whole new day stretching before me, and thinking to myself, “What would I like to start my day with today?” The answer depends both on what’s on hand and my appetite. I always start with a [...]
Our amazing tour guide under a coconut tree. Perfect weather, sparkling beaches, chilled-out residents, daily rainbows, copious tropical fruits: these things and more make Kauai heaven, as I gushed in my previous post. But the reasons that I found this island to be my personal paradise run much deeper. Perfection can be found in the [...]
Most people are used to having what you call “weekends” – two consecutive days off from work, usually Saturday and Sunday. But in the hospitality biz, other people’s weekends are our busiest work days. So we take our days off when we can get them. Last week an amazing thing occurred: I actually had two [...]
Just in case my oreo pie recipe didn’t clue you in, I’ll let you in on a dirty little secret. I love oreos. In my pre-raw days, I used to indulge in a box of these seemingly innocent little biscuits more often than I’d like to admit. I say seemingly innocent because in advertisements, they [...]
I’ve been detoxing for the past week. Meaning I’ve given up alcohol, coffee, and cooked foods entirely for 30 days, as well as taking a natural liver cleansing pill. Man, do I feel great! The first few days were difficult, to say the least. I developed a headcold, felt tired and irritable, and generally hated [...]
This is one of my first original raw dessert recipes, and it’s intense. A dark, bittersweet base reminescent of an oreo cookie crust is topped with a vanilla cream filling and drizzled with dark chocolate. How amazing that such a decadent treat is actually full of nutrition! Chocolatey, creamy, dark and dreamy… NOreo CheeZeCake Crust [...]
