I’ve been having fun creating superfood recipes lately, and this one was inspired by a box of ripe mangoes and a dinner party invite. Almonds, coconut, lucuma, honey, mango, banana, macadamias, vanilla – this cake is more chock-full of nutrients than most people’s meals. Protein and mineral rich almonds, immune-system and weight-balancing coconut, vitamin-C packed [...]
When life hands me blueberries, goji berries, and “really raw” cashews, what do I do? Why, make goji and blueberry cheesecake, of course. Silly question. The colors and textural interplay in this cake are amazing. Bright orange cream filling, violet blueberry sauce, and dark chocolatey crust create a striking image – and we eat with [...]
If that title doesn’t have you salivating yet, how about this photo? Yeah, this recipe is a stunner. I’m not going to bother with too much chatter here, because I think it really speaks for itself. Let’s just say I had two dinner guests last night, and I served them a main course of salad [...]
“F Turkey” (overheard by a guest remarking on his colorful Thanksgiving plate) This post is a homage to one of my food blogging inspirations, the talented and creative Heidi over at 101 Cookbooks.

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 [...]
One day, while strolling in the Adelaide Botanic Gardens, I happened upon a large tree heavy with golden fruit. No, this is not the beginning of a fable, but rather my introduction to the tangy tree tomato, or tamarillo. Being a curious and fearless raw foodist, I went ahead and plucked a ripe fruit for [...]
This apple pie is so sweet and delicious, thanks to lots of juicy California dates – that’s why I called it “American.” It certainly rivals its cooked cousin in flavor, and a crust made from dates and almonds will do so much for your body than one made of flour and lard. My version is [...]
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 [...]
