Fab Friday Giveaway | Better Raw Rawfood 101 DVD
Happy Friday! Any exciting plans for your weekend? We had a Harley Davidson rally here on the compound yesterday which happens every year, and it’s the closest thing we have to a festival as our friend’s band played with their heavy metal/rock band for 45 minutes at the cricket ground. It’s pretty much a family day with food vendors, jumping castles and other entertainment, so it was lovely to get out and about. Our friend Chris, who is a wonderful photographer, and has taken some great shots of my tasting events, happened to snap this quickie of Manus and I (without his hearing protection which we had for when the band played). Anyway onto some more »
Share on FacebookMaking Raw Food Simple
Morning! Happy humpday to you! Lately, I’ve been eating a little more simply with my raw foods, because so often I feel the need to make more gourmet complex dishes for showcasing here on the blog, or I am in the theme of making more transitional foods especially when in the thick of doing my classes as what I usually teach is the impressive dishes on how to make raw food more appealing. Plus it is what I am trained in. But as I’ve mentioned before, usually the longer you have been interested in raw foods, the more simplistic your tastes become, and spending hours to process, dehydrate, juice etc for every.single.meal. becomes a little more »

Well howdy! Sorry to disappear on you like that, but between being in the kitchen plenty coming up with new recipes, testing old ones, planning my raw food launch and classes which begin next week and a slight emergency involving our little munchkin – all is well now thank goodness! I’ve just found it difficult to get on line to share my raw BLT I promised to you! Anyway plenty of you guessed all the components, but here’s how I made my scrumptious raw BLT last week.

Well it’s the start of our weekend here now and lucky us, we get a long weekend, with the work week starting back on Sunday not the usual Saturday, so tomorrow we are off to Bahrain for some fun, dancing and chilling by the pool.

Hi everyone! If you follow on facebook, you will see that last week I was so excited to receive my first organic box in our CSA (community supported agriculture) which is organic as well! And yesterday I received our second box. I’m even more excited, because in the 4 years I have been living here, I have found it difficult to find organic produce let alone local and now we have both – at least until the growing season ends (not sure when that is). If you want to check out more about where I shop I wrote about it here and here. Here’s what our box includes: 3 heads cauliflower 3 heads broccoli 3 more »

As someone mentioned on facebook, this is a jar only a raw foodie would love! Today I am going to show you how to make kimchi. It’s something I enjoy a great deal on top of salads or even straight out of the jar, however I forget to make it so it doesn’t make an appearance on Girl on Raw, if ever. This was the last time I made it. Whenever I do make it I realise just how easy it is, and question why I haven’t made it in so long, so perhaps I’ll be on a fermented foods kick.

When first venturing into raw foods, people tend to expect they need to fit out their entire kitchen with the most expensive of kitchen gadgets and hardest to find (and pronounce superfoods!) but I’m hear to tell you that’s not the case! Of course if you do want to start a raw food cafe, or create some pretty intense gourmet raw dishes, you’d be hard pressed to do these without a fantastic blender (vitamix or blendtec), food processor and dehydrator, but to generally just increase your raw and begin to feel the effects of a healthier diet here’s all you need!
