Asian Refreshing Pressed Salad December 20, 2011
This make-shift salad press does the trick! The pressure makes for a crispy, watery salad
Raw, dehydrated spinach bread December 8, 2011
My favorite Indian spice – this cousin of cumin – is sweet, nutty and pungent. It’s just the right touch in taking dehydrated breads to a new level, to transport you to an exotic far away place. Kala Jeera (black cumin) is a member of the parsley family and is used in Indian breads, soups and sauces, often used in conjunction with fennel, nigella, black mustard and ajwain seeds.

Raw vegan version of a Caprese Salad October 16, 2011
I served this version of my Caprese Salad today at a Raw Food potluck. Used a green tomato and the ‘cheese’ is pine nuts blended with olive oil, green tomato and basil. Marinated the fennel and green apple in lime juice.
Vegan version of a Caprese Salad October 15, 2011
I served this vegan version of a Caprese Salad for a group of 14 women at Stillheart. It was a HUGE hit …. the flavors, the textures and the adventure of eating it — with a steak knife.
Tomato “Cheese” Stack, a vegetarian version of a Caprese Salad October 14, 2011
T’was hard to select a star player of our meal when two of the three dishes really stood out. I’ll give my vote to this one, tho, because it clearly can stand on its own. This vegetarian version of the Caprese Salad was very very good! What a beautiful presentation, too.
Sweet and Sour Lentils, Quinoa w/Basil Butter October 7, 2011
Yummm, I put together 3 things that I had in my fridge to make a tasty, satisfying breakfast porridge. The flavors — basil, butter, orange, ginger, tamarind — brought me to all parts of the world.

Candied Orange Peel generally has a lot of sugar…. so, I came up with my own sugar-free version. It is just as good as the real deal: just as sweet, just as intriguing, intense, enjoyable.
