As promised, here is my recipe for coconut-banana vegan ice-creem. I would love to call it a fool-proof recipe, but I have tried out many so-called fool-proof ones that actually don’t work. So I will just say it is the first successful vegan ice-creem I’ve managed to make. My ingredients: 1 (400ml) tin coconut milk …
Since getting into raw foods, and going vegan, I have not done any baking at all. Not sure why this is, but probably linked to the idea of a low-carb diet being healthy. We’re not so now sure that is the case, and carbs have stated creeping back into our foods. Add to that the …

Karen’s parents, who are hard core carnivores, are here for Xmas, so we needed to produce something ‘meatlike’ for Xmas lunch yesterday.

Pizza 1 – Red pepper, sweet onion, spinach, fennel & walnuts We first tasted these raw pizzas a while ago. They were delicious and filling, and I have been wanting to make them myself for some time. Finally got around to it. I did a test run before letting them loose on our guests. I …
Carrot flax cracker biscuits I am beginning to sound like a stuck record, but this raw food concept is just amazing! (I usually hate that word!) The food is not only so tasty, but extremely satisfying without leaving you feeling full or bloated. Another of my pet hates is wasting food. The other day I …
