This is one of my favorite raw food YouTube Videos. David Wolfe and Nick Good are having a ridiculous good time while discussing the importance of being grounded, living your destiny and getting enough minerals through your diet.

Andrea, who lives in Northern Ireland, recently visited Grezzo during a trip to the U.S. She kindly took the time to write a restaurant review about her experience at Grezzo. For those who are unaware, Grezzo is Boston's newest raw food restaurant, owned by Alissa Cohen. Andrea writes:
"Grezzo was, as expected, amazing. On the website, the only way of booking was by phone, but we wanted to secure a table since we were only going to be in Boston for 3 nights, and our UK cell phones don't work in America, and so we emailed them and got a reply back with a confirmation of our booking. A great and very profesional and helpful start!
We found the restaurant (at 69 Prince Street) easily enough, in the heart of Little Italy, which is a really fun and lively district of Boston and a great place in which to eat out during the evening. Grezzo is small, with only around 10-12 tables, and not much space to move around in, but it was cosy and elegant and had a really good vibe. For starters, my husband, who isn't a raw foodist, but will always enjoy at least one raw meal on holiday in a restaurant, went for the Grezzo Sliders – house-made patties on vine-ripened tomato. It was good, and there was plenty of it, but we both agreed my Gnocchi Carbonara was amazing—hand-rolled dumplings, creamy rawmesan and fresh English peas with pea shoots (the pea shoots were delicious) and crispy egg-plant. This was a really stand-out dish.
For the main course, I had the Lobster Thermidor—a terrine (so stacked like a lasagne really) of tarragon and mustard seed cashew cheese, black grapes and baby spring vegetables. The black grapes really made this dish stand out, as did the addition of papaya – delicious! My husband had the star-anise encrusted papaya steak, which is really Grezzo's signature dish and it was delicious—imaginative and filling, delicately flavoured and refreshing, it also looked really cool. We both loved the use of papaya, so imaginative! We've never had that in any other raw food restaurant before, but it really made the dishes fresh and flavoursome.
For dessert, I had the rich brownie sundae, which is another one of their signature dishes and it was amazing—really indulgent, filled with house-made gelato (lavender from what I remember, although I may be mis-taken), chocolate truffle and brazil nut crumble. Raw foodists don't usually get such indulgent desserts and this was fabulous! The alcoholic cocktails featured sake and my husband had one of those (can't remember which one) but we felt the drinks were expensive compared to the food. The tap water was plentiful though and our glasses kept being refreshed. Of course, we went back again the next night. My husband had the Gnocchi Carbonara as his only course. I had the Vietnamese Coconut Soup, which I was a little disappointed with, simply because I had been expecting more lemongrass and ginger to give it a kick. I felt it was maybe a bit bland.
My husband didn't have a main course that evening, but I had the Land & Sea—a mushroom dish made from locally-harvested maitake, yellow oyster, black trumpet, hedgehog and honshimeji mushrooms. It came with lemon ricotta, dulse and kelp. I have to say I was disappointed by this dish. I felt that the mushrooms could have been marinated in something to bring out their individual flavours more and it was just a bit too heavy on the mushrooms (and I love mushrooms!). I wish I had ordered something else and wouldn't had that dish again, but would jump at the chance for any of the other dishes. The photo at the top shows the Land & Sea mushroom dish.
My husband didn't eat dessert either, but that night I had (from what I remember) the chocolate torte, with chocolate and golden raisin crust with salty almond gelato (pictured).

Aloha!
I had an amazing, exceptional experience at the Tom Bird Write Your Book in 8 Days retreat in Sedona in October! My book actually morphed into two books. I am in the editing process now, enjoying the process of preparing these for publication.
I highly recommend this retreat—if you’ve got a book in you, Tom will definitely help you get it out! I had been meaning to ‘get around to’ writing my book for five years! With such a busy schedule producing festivals and events and radio shows, I hadn’t had a chance to sit still long enough to do it.

These are notes I started while listening to Harvard anthropologist Richard Wrangham talks with host Jacki Lyden about his new book, Catching Fire: How Cooking Made Us Human on NPR http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=104755975.
In the talk Wrangham mentioned, 800,000 years ago is the first time period for which archeaologists have hard evidence of our using fire. Wrangham thinks we may have been using fire for cooking as far as 2 million years ago when our jaw and stomach size shrank. It was an evolutionary advantage for us to be able to also eat cooked food, partly because of time saved in gaining nutrients. Similarly some humans developed a mutant gene in order to be able to digest dairy as an adult.

For those of you who are experiencing “night” at 5pm these days – this is for you! Right now, if you’re anything like me, you’re wondering one of two things: “Where did the summer go?” or “Where did 2009 go?” Either way, you’re probably as shocked as I am that these dark nights have apparently fallen from nowhere and I don’t know about you, but I really do not want to venture out in the dark these days – I’m not sure if it’s an age thing, a female thing, or what… but it takes a lot to have me…
