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).

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 »

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!

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 »

Howdy folks, I’m back again with this: Remember this cheesecake/tart from my Potluck? Well I made it from Matthew Kenney’s Everyday Raw but I changed it up a bit, but you can find the original recipe in his book. And there was another dessert I made and forgot to share… Chai Gelato.

I knew you’d all have no idea of what it was like and were wondering so thought it a great post idea. Glad I did. So today was the famous Raw Potluck and what a blast.

I live on a compound. I guess to most people, that conjures up so many different kinds of images, but I thought I’d shed a bit of light on where I live, because if I didn’t live here I’d be curious too. When I first moved here to Saudi Arabia, I came from London where I worked as a flight attendant also, and shortly after arriving, met my future husband who worked for the same company – different department. Erm that’s NOT my husband So even when I resigned from my flying career, I wasn’t required to leave as my husband lived here already. I guess it’s hard to understand what living in a compound more »

I’m just back from a Women’s Group meeting (my first!) here on camp as they were showing The Business of Being Born, a documentatry made by Ricki Lake (yep of talk show fame) on natural childbirth. Source I actually watched it prior to giving birth as well, but it was a little more emotional this time as I could really relate. One point that stood out from the talk today, was that we are losing the knowledge on how to give birth naturally and it is up to us women, to keep reminding other women (our daughters, friends etc) that our more »

Share on FacebookEating Raw | My Food Philosophy | Video
Often I am asked if I ONLY eat raw foods as I am so passionate about bringing more raw foods into both my life and those around me. My thoughts on diet and nutrition are very non judgemental and non biased and I don’t believe the way one person eats, should necessarily be the way everyone should eat to obtain optimal health. I believe there are healthy vegetarians, vegans, and omnivores (meat eaters) just as there are unhealthy ones and the way each person approaches their own diet is very individualised. I speak more about this in the video below, but I would love to hear your thoughts too on your food philosophy for great more »
