This recipe is an amazing winter treat for all those burger lovers out there who miss a warm, delicious sandwich. It is simple to make, has great flavor and texture and can be eaten with veggies or between two slices of raw bread.

Mushrooms are fleshy, nutrient dense and low in calories, making these burgers a great option for people who are watching their weight. Moreover, mushrooms contain more vitamin D than any other vegetable, and are a great addition to the diet during winter days.

Mushrooms offer a wide range of nutrients, including essential amino acids, vitamin B, as well as minerals like copper, iron, selenium, manganese, magnesium and phosphorus. They also contain a special amino acid called ergothioneine, which is found only in mushrooms and yeasts and that functions as strong antioxidant.

The sunflower seeds are added both for their fiber, protein and essential fats, as well as for their texture and taste. I often add sunflower or pumpkin seeds to my raw vegan recipes, as I find it much easier to incorporate them in my main meals than eat them as they are.

Mango and passion fruit must be my top 2 favourite fruits! So I was really keen to get them in a raw dessert together. Adding a bit of coconut rounds out the Caribbean influenced flavours really nicely. This is a dessert to be savoured.

A simple, scrumptious apple pie that will have you wanting more, but it's okay because it's healthy! ;-) This crust is one of my favorites because it tastes like a graham cracker crust. The filling is sweet, sour and warm all at the same time. It is definitely a flavor explosion that I enjoy very much. The dehydrated apple chunks give a wonderful texture and also give an added burst of sweetness. I hope you enjoy! Visit my blog for more recipes! http://amandanicolesmithrecipes.blogspot.com

I'm in Tuscany, Italy and here walnuts and pears are in season at the same time...I’m sure it’s because they taste amazing together!

To celebrate here’s a really simple walnut spread I came up with that goes SO well on sliced up pears. It’s really easy to make, and a smooth and creamy taste experience!

I love beet but my boyfriend isn’t a beet fan. He does, however, LOVE these. There’s something about the linseed and parsley that mellows the flavour, and the seed creates a great burger consistency.

They are SO simple. 4 ingredients and 1 session with the processor. You can eat thesem straight or dehydrate them (about 5 hours and they’ll be slightly crisp on the outside but soft in the middle!).
