Tonight I gave a demo at the Raw Spirit Festival called "A Taste of Thai." I thought you might like to share in the fun and so I am posting the recipes here for you to enjoy. And for all who came to the demo tonight, you rawk! Thai Slaw (serves 4-6) DRESSING ½ cup of your favorite raw butter ¼ cup coconut oil, liquid form 1 tablespoon agave nectar Juice of one lime 1 silver of ginger, peeled and minced 1 small clove garlic, minced 1/2 tablespoon red pepper flakes 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Combine ingredients in a large bowl. Use a whisk to blend into a smooth, creamy consistency. Add extra coconut oil a teaspoon at a time, if needed.
SLAW 4 cup finely shredded Napa cabbage 2 cup finely shredded red cabbage 1 cup finely shredded carrot 4 sprigs fresh mint, leaves only, shredded
Combine cabbages and carrot in a bowl and toss with dressing. Marinate for two hours before serving. Overnight is best.
Thai Red Curry with Sweet Potato Noodles (serves 4) 1 clove garlic, minced 1 Thai chili pepper, finely chopped 2 teaspoon curry powder ½ teaspoon ground red pepper Juice of one lime ½ tablespoon coconut oil 1 tablespoon agave nectar 1 cup coconut milk ½ red onion, chopped 1 red bell pepper, chopped 1 sweet potato, peeled Basil, cut into thin strips
In a bowl mix garlic, chili pepper, curry powder and sea salt. Add lime juice, coconut oil and agave nectar. Gradually add coconut milk until curry powder breaks down. The sauce should be a saucy, soup-like consistency. Add onions and bell pepper. Spiralize the sweet potato to make thin spaghetti noodles.
Pour curry on the sweet potato noodles, gently toss to coat. Garnish with basil.
Honey Mint Ice 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped coarsely 1 cup honey 2 cups water juice of one lime
In a blender, puree ingredients until mint leaves are small pecks of green.
Transfer mixture to popsicle molds, ice trays or paper cups. If using ice trays or paper cups, add popsicle sticks to the center of the popsicle as soon as its solid enough to hold stick in place (about an hour). Continue to freeze for 4-5 hours.
It started simple enough. Jonathan Weber’s Spicy seed mix (p. 117) transformed from thick, soggy glob to a very crunchy, seasoned snack, in a relatively short amount of time. The spices were on point, Man on the Raw thought the nibbles was just spicy enough without overpowering the taste buds.
Beware of John Larsen's Tasty Sea snacks (p. 117). I found a half of cup of Nama Shoyu a bit too generous, causing it to be to salty. Although, Man on the Raw enjoyed the flavor, he suggested I tone down the Nama Shoyu, if I were going to take a batch to an Oscar party I was attending. On a second batch, I decreased the amount of Nama Shoyu to one-fourth of a cup, made them bite-size and was off. Ha, ha happy ending.
This is the point where happy endings turn sour and my mild obsessive tendencies came to surface.
The story actually begins on February 19th, when I came across some incredible Raw Zucchini Chips featured on the blog Green and Crunchy. They were beautiful, crispy, crunchy little discs. By far a perfect substitution for Lays or Pringles any day.
Life moved forward, as it does so often, and I quickly forgot about the little bits of heaven, at least until I saw Bitt of Raw’s posting of Zucchini Chips and her cute dog eating raw zucchini. Adorable.
Zucchini chips were not going away any time soon, thus the seeds of my obsession was firmly planted in my brain.
I went to The Complete Book of Raw Food, you know my endeavor and all, searching for a recipe comparable to what I had read on the blogs. I found what I was seeking on page 178, Shazzie’s recipe for Curly Crisps.
On the surface, everything seemed to be moving in the right direction. I had a cool hand-held mandoline, a few small zucchini, a beet and a couple of plump, light green, stubby things called Mexican Squash.
Using my cool, hand-held mandoline, I sliced the vegetables into thin rounds, a shy away from being paper thin, but not quite. I choose a variety of basic seasonings, including garlic, onion, wasabi and barbecue powders, nothing too spectacular or out of the ordinary. Well maybe the wasabi, but I digress.
My first batch, I placed in the dehydrator for 115 degrees for about 12 hours. The edges of my produce curled, taking on a slight crispiness, but nothing compared to potato chips. The middle of the vegetable discs were something less to be desired. They were soft and pliable, resembling nothing like a chip.
I popped them back in the dehydrator for another few hours.
Nothing changed, except the size of my zucchini chips, they shrank.
This whole process continued over the course of a week. Attempting varying sizes and thinness of different root vegetables, with Teflex sheet, without Teflex sheet, with salt, without salt, with oil, without oil. Good, eatable food was thrown in the compost bucket because they weren't crisp enough.
I was relentless, Man on the Raw was impatient with my compulsive, slightly psychotic behavior.
But I couldn’t help it. I wanted a crispy, crunchy chip and I was bound and determined to create one.
Finally, I received a reprieve.
I had a promising batch of zucchini and beet chips on Sunday. They came from the dehydrator after 30 hours at 115 degrees and they were actually a good, crunchy consistency. Success, the girls enjoyed them and I finally had something the Man on the Raw could give his seal of approval on and he wouldn’t have to send me away to a psych ward. That was the case, until the girls ate most of them and the ones that remained were left uncovered and I suppose the moisture from the Colorado air (yeah, right), turned them back to a soft, pliable chip taking on the texture of a mildly waterlogged potato chip.
Of course, when Man on the Raw came home after an exhausting evening of work, he wasn’t in the correct frame of mind to believe me when I told him my chips were crispy at one point in their life.
He just kind of heaved a sigh and his chin sank to the ground.
I bite down on the side of my lip and quickly promised I wouldn’t attempt another batch of vegetable chips until I ended my juice feast and I was able to taste test them myself.

Did you Know? Oct. 17th is National Pasta Day, October 25th is World Pasta Day and October is National Pasta Month.
This raw recipe for alfredo sauce is very creamy and full-bodied. The longer it sits, the richer the flavors become. Try it with one of the pastas below.
Zucchini Noodles with Alfredo Sauce 2 cups cashews, soaked 1½ cups water 1 garlic clove, minced juice of one lemon 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 teaspoon sea salt ½ teaspoon white pepper red pepper flakes (optional) Process cashews, garlic, lemon juice, one cup of water, olive oil, sea salt and pepper in a blender. Stream in remaining half cup of water until you achieve a creamy sauce.
Serve with zucchini noodles on a bed of spinach. Garnish with red pepper flakes.
Servings: 4
1 zucchini
Use a spiralizer to make the zucchini noodles. No spiralizer? No worries, use a vegetable peeler to create pasta noodles.

image Detoxifynow.com On an episode of "He Said She Said" Man on the Raw and I talked about food combining and offered an overview of the principles of food combining. I wanted to touch base with it again after Traci left a comment on the post.
I want to stress that during "Everything I Eat -Raw" thus far, I am not practicing food combining at all. Not to say that I won't. In between Living Light's culinary school creations, I actually was thinking about trying different raw food "diets" (mono, juice feasting *a third one? IDK*, 80-10-10, etc.) and documenting those experiences. For now, I am enjoying sharing the raw goodies that are out there to be had.
On to the question.
Traci asks "What are examples of "concentrated carb/concentrated protein?"
Concentrated Carbohydrates are considered foods that are on the the top of the glycemic index, mainly starchy vegetables and fruits.
Here is a brief list of various vegetables and fruits carrying a high glycemic index:
High glycemic fruit blueberries dried fruit figs grapes kumquats loganberries mangoes mulberries pears pineapple pomegranates prunes watermelon (however, it has a low glycemic load)
Other resources on raw foods and food combining: Raw Food Living has a chart with digestive times. Raw Food Explained offers several articles on the subject Food Combining for Optimal Health by Angela Stokes-Monarch Food Combining Wallet Card
My goal for The Daily Raw is to publish my original recipes without many repeats. From time to time I will posts my Keep It Simple Snack. These are recipes of various recipes (that I have blogged) that are used together in a different way. It's a way to show that as long as you have the items in the fridge you can whip up something in five minutes or less.

Today’s recipe started out as Shazzie’s Guacamole (p. 274) but spiraled into our own creation. I’m sure we aren’t doing anything new and spectacular with this recipe but it’s ours all the same. Or shall I say it belongs to Avery. She kind of took over the kitchen when avocados entered the picture. She should be called Baby Avocado, she eats them with a passion. Just takes a spoon and scoops the sweet flesh from its shell. She was very insistent when it came to preparing this recipe.
Guacamole 4 Hass Avocados, halved, pitted 2 tomatoes, seeded, chopped 1 red chile pepper, seeds and ribs removed, finely chopped* 2 garlic cloves, minced Juice of two limes 1 ½ teaspoon sea salt, or more to taste
Scoop the flesh from the avocado halves into a large bowl, add the tomatoes, pepper, garlic, lime juice and sea salt. Smash all the ingredients together with a potato masher until you get a smooth, yet slightly chunky consistency.
*If a guacamole with more heat is what you seek, add the chile’s seeds to the mix.
Note: If the mood strikes you, add a handful of cilantro leaves and a tablespoon or two of chopped white onion . We were out, but I know for a fact they are welcome additions.
