Living Foods vegan Strawberry Cheesecake

I’ve long been promising myself to make a raw cheesecake and yesterday was the day! Using a simple recipe from The Rawtarian I made a gorgeous cheesecake to rival any dairy offering I’ve ever had. I absolutely LOVE making raw desserts because they look and taste amazing and they are far healthier than their dairy [...]

A Raw Dinner for four..

I have been making lots of raw dishes for some months now and I really love it (my ever expanding recipe book shelf is testament to this!), so last night I bit the raw vegan bullet and made dinner for four, using recipes I have learnt from the brilliant chef David Bailey. Dinner was Raw [...]

Quick and Healthy Kid’s meal..

Here’s an idea for a very quick and simple kid’s lunch/dinner…Gabe can be pretty weird about some foods but for whatever reason (and I’m not questioning it!) he loves brown rice and tofu, so I’m going with that and getting the greens in there too.   Ingredients: Shortgrain brown rice Salad sprouts of your choice [...]

Smoothie Operator.

Here is a smoothie recipe that is refreshing, healthy and full of protein, it’s from a recipe given to me by David Bailey of Wholefood Heaven. The only change I made was to use Maca powder instead of Lacuma, simple because that’s what I had to hand. I love having one of these as something [...]

Sneaking Veg…

When my son was a toddler he would eat almost any vegetable I gave him, beetroot, spinach, carrots and mash. But as he’s gotten older he’s getting slighter more picky, not unlike many other children his age who just want ‘plain pasta and cheese’ for every meal. The thing with my boy is though, that [...]

Super Quick Lunch ~ Raw Basil Pesto Noodles.

I was amazed today at how quick this dish is to put together. To be honest, unless dehydrating or soaking is involved, most raw food takes minutes to prepare and that’s a huge plus if you’re hungry for some healthy food. The Basil Pesto is the recipe I learnt from David Bailey on the Gourmet [...]

Learning from the best ~ Gourmet Raw Food School

I feel like yesterday I totally lucked out, like I got away with having one of the best raw/vegan/vegetarian chefs in the UK teach me before somebody realised what was happening and whisked him away to cookbook and tv greatness. David Bailey was one of the two founding chefs at London’s premier raw/vegan restaurant Saf, [...]

Raw Lemon Bars ~ Think Coconut & Lemon Curd loveliness!

I’m pretty new to raw foods and it’s taken a few years for me to go any further than a slight toe dipping in the waters of all things uncooked….however, had I been introduced to this recipe from The Rawtarian in the beginning, I suspect I would have been fully immersed a long time since. [...]
