Have you ever reached a place either in your diet, body or life where you felt as if you were blocked or couldn’t go any further or higher? I know I have, frequently, and it really doesn’t feel good - does it? Many moons ago I didn’t understand what this feeling was all about. In fact, I didn’t actually give the feeling a name, I just knew it felt yucky and usually I would revert to an old pattern or behaviour which gave me room to breathe, knowing that I could up my game again if and when I wanted…

A tahini dressing is one of the most delicious and versatile dressings of all. As tahini is made from sesame seeds, it is lighter than a nut-based dressing and is high in protein and calcium, making it a nutritional superstar.

EQUIPMENT Blender INGREDIENTS 2 Tablespoons raw sesame tahini 1 Tablespoon pure water 1 Medjool date Juice of 1/4 lemon OR ¼ orange DIRECTIONS Simply blend all ingredients until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Taste test before using. Add more of whatever you need according to your…

When I first got into raw food back in 1993 there weren’t a lot of raw food myths floating around as there weren’t many raw foodists or raw food philosophies floating around either! Since then my, how things have changed! There’s more books, resources, foods, theories, promoters, restaurants - you name it, there’s more of it! And yes, ultimately this is a great thing… the only thing that frustrates me just a little are the myths that are created out of thin air and then get passed around like Chinese whispers and are taken as gospel! So because I’m keen…

As a child I loved strawberry ice-creams and fast-food thick-shakes. Little did I know then what the ingredients were and what they were doing to my body! With the aim to recreate the same taste in a healthier form, I came up with this very simple but even more delicious “strawberry ice-dream” recipe. I know that you’re going to love this recipe for its taste, simplicity and speed. Great for kids too of course! (Luke adores this). EQUIPMENT Vita-Mix or Blender INGREDIENTS 1 cup water 2 frozen bananas (peel before freezing and freeze until hard) A small handful of fresh…

In this issue the topic du jour is the not-often-talked-about issue of emotional, mental and spiritual detoxification and how going raw affects us on every level – not just the physical. The reason why I’ve decided to cover this topic is because this particular aspect of going raw, the whole person transformation, is my own personal most-compelling reason for choosing to eat raw and it soon engages many others. Even though at times it may be challenging to eat raw (socially) the benefits far outweigh the negatives – in fact so many times over as to be laughable! So, here’s…

This recipe is a great one, as it can really fulfill the need for something a little more interesting than salad and not as dense as something dehydrated. All you need to make it is a spiral slicer to create veggie spaghetti (also known as a saladacco), or for thicker pasta you could use a potato peeler. SERVES: Serves 1 large plate or 2 small EQUIPMENT Spiral slicer, Blender INGREDIENTS Your choice of vegetable for making your “spaghetti” (see below for ideas) 1/3 cup pine nuts or macadamias (or combination of) 1/3 cup olive oil Half a handful of basil…

It has always fascinated me as to why some people seem to get into raw foods and stay there while others yo-yo for months, years or even decades. The conclusion I have come to after much observation, thought and reflection is that quite simply some people have a lot more incentive than others. They have an exceptionally BIG WHY. For some – a very tiny percentage it seems - it just resonates so completely and deeply with them from the get-go that no matter what life may bring or what others might say, there is simply no room for manoeuvre,…
