I can’t believe the colours available despite it being winter here! Raw Thai food obsession lately…using up so much coriander from the garden :)

I threw this together for dinner 2 nights ago after finding some huge zucchinis and surprising cute little summer squash at my local organic. It tasted fresh and delicious, but I just ate the leftovers 2 nights later and wow! It was amazing. The salt and oil have very lightly pickled the zucchini and squash, and the flavors have really melded together. I recommend making this at least a day and advance for optimum flavor.

This is my hemp-ified version of a classic. Hemp provides the perfect base for this pesto. It has a slightly nutty and green taste, which compliments the cucumber and the greens as well as, well, everything else in the recipe! Hemp hearts are a great source of Omega fatty acids and easy to assimilate proteins. So, eat up!

Fresh herbs and tart seasonings with chocolate are a fresh take on this traditional dish. This creamy, spicy chili will leave you satiated and content.

Eggplant and mushrooms in chili, who would have thought? But the combo is actually brilliant, and really different from other raw chilis that I’ve tried. The eggplant and mushrooms soften from marinating, and they absorb the flavor of the sauce. The result is a substantial texture and bursting flavor. The raw corn also adds a nice crunch and color contrast. I am a fan of all chili recipes, but this one is really standout for me.

Make sure you start this early enough to let the vegetables marinate for at least 6 hours. The success of the dish depends upon the softening of the eggplant and mushrooms. I start it at lunchtime and eat it for dinner, but you could also marinate the veggies overnight and have it for lunch.

Delicious vegetable chow mein which is super easy to make.

This has a lovely combination of the soft noodles and the crunchy vegetables.

The soya sauce is not raw. This dish requires a very small amount of it.

Use any vegetables you want to, add nuts, seeds or anything else you want to. I added a sprinkle of hemp seeds.

This is inspired by harmonylia’s Butternut Squash Con Agli Olio which is gorgeous.

Tasty and fun.

The BEST Fettuccine Alfredo I have EVER tasted. Tastes so much like the real thing. And to think I made it by mistake!

Wrap_thumb

Super simple, quick and easy, nutritious and delicious. What more can I say? The funny thing about this is I do not care for any of these items alone but together… together they are one of my favorite foods!

Modified a recipe that I picked up at my local greenmarket. The quantity and measurements are approximations as I just eyeball things. Any kind of oil could be used instead of hemp and almond butter can be used instead of the cashew. For the peas I used a mixture of snow and snap.

I made these into patties and had on top of an English muffin.

Heaven on a piece of heaven topped with a slice of heaven! I was really missing meatballs, and I wanted something with a similar taste, texture, and protein content that meatballs imbue. Here it is!
