Raw cabbage? Not necessarily my idea of fun - or at least it wasn’t until I tried this recipe! Cabbage doesn’t always “feel” right in summer, but at this time of year when lettuce loses some appeal, this is the perfect replacement. I invite you to suspend disbelief long enough to make this and eat it… you’ll be very glad you did! Ingredients For the wraps: * White cabbage leaves * Avocado * Tomatoes * Black pitted olives * Coriander (cilantro) For the dip: * Olive oil * Water * Lemon juice * Lime juice (optional) * Coriander (cilantro) *…

It’s only natural that at this time of year what you put in your shopping basket is going to be very different to what you put in it during the summer.

My December festivities begin this weekend with a black tie 25th wedding anniversary celebration in Hertfordshire where over 20 guests will be present.

About 8 of us will be gathering at my home for a potluck dinner first and…

Although not technically in winter yet, it sure feels like it today! And it’s at this time of year that people curious about eating raw are asking, “How on earth do I go or stay raw in winter?” Others, those who may have been eating raw for a few months or on and off for a few years even, may find that this is the time of year where cooked foods start to becme a very attractive proposition indeed!

In part one of this two-parter I spoke about how your inner and outer world can absolutely support or deny your raw food journey, and how. Today I am here with our final part to share why moving forward and weaving that cocoon is, as hard as it may be to hear it, our only real choice if we are to thrive (and keep smiling!). Before we get going then, I want you to sit comfortably without distractions and take a few moments to picture yourself walking along a bright sunny path surrounded by grass, trees and whatever else would…
