Italian Recipes
this is one of those “i can’t believe it’s raw” dishes. my entire family loves this. you have to make A LOT more than this if you want it to last as it reduces to not very much… plus, it’s delicious.
the recipe is adapted from my favorite cookbook, “verdura.” the book itself is neither raw nor vegan, but many of the recipes happen to be both (or easily modified)! there is an entire section on raw pasta sauces.
Wonderful veggie lasagna. I was going through my mother-in-law’s cookbooks and saw this recipe for Portobellow Lasagna and I thought “i can do that raw!”... here is my attempt. It was my first time ever using raw eggplant, so if you don’t like it or can’t get it soft enough, just use zucchini instead!
These mushrooms I found last week at the growers market were literally as big as dinner plates. I marinated them all day and made a beautiful sauce and some fresh basil olive and red capsicum topping with a sprinkle of nutritional yeast.Mushrooms make fantastic pizza bases but GIGANTIC ONES? mmMMM!
this is one of my mothers recipes, i grew up on this soup. to my surprise, its even better raw!
Sweet, tangy and spicy, definitely filling and a sensory meal. Takes a little prep time, so start prepping and dehydrating about 4 hours in advance, but worth it.
Absolutely delicious! I tossed this together on a creative whim as a take-to-school lunch for my companion, who is a middle school music teacher. I included a bag of celery sticks in case he felt like eating it as a dip.
My favourite way to make pesto.
You can add in a little ‘sprinkle’ if you want to make it a bit cheesier.
I came up with these when I was experimenting with things to make for an Italian dinner party. I had purchased my first ever jicama and it was perfect! This is definately one of my favourite dehydrator recipes I’ve made, along with the raw pizza that is in the picture with them. The bruschettas are the things round the side. You don’t need a dehydrator to make these, you can just spoon the tomato mixture onto raw jicama slices. They are much more authentic with dehydration though!
all the flavors of the italian classic in a light crisp cracker, perfect with caponata
Warm, delicious, Italian inspired…kind of reminds me of Chef Boyardee if Chef Boyardee tasted good
This garlicy pate is excellent on its own. A slightly modified version of this pate is also an ingredient in a raw lasagne recipe. Remember to allow for the sunflower soaking and sprouting time!

This is a recipe for a spinach caesar salad (make a more traditional caesar by substituting 1 large head of lettuce for the spinach). Recipe by Rhio in her book Hooked on Raw.
