    Keeping Track of the Recipes from The Complete Book of Raw Food

    For the next few months (or year?) The Daily Raw Blog will work its way through the 350 plus recipes in “The Complete Book of Raw Food” edited by Lori Baird and Julie Rodwell.

    Modifications: Did you notice I was changing some of the recipes? Well, that's going to happen. I'm not a purist as far as this endeavor goes, and there will be some changes based on lack of ingredients, equipment, ambition, etc. I will let you know what I did or didn't do. No biggie.

    Recipes. Have you bought the book yet? If not, I don't blame you. I'm not hating, I'm broke, too (but I'm going to win the Powerball any day now).

    The recipes posted will be my versions of the original recipe or if the recipe is really, really good and I will forget about copyrights for a moment.

    If not...

    Here are some suggestions for if you want the recipes I don't print:

    #1 go to the page number in the book (if you have it)

    #2 try the link of the creator of the recipe. They might have it on their website.

    #3 Google it

    If you still can't find it or just too lazy to do the above mentioned (don't worry, I ain't mad at you), shoot me an email (yahoo.com) and I'll type it and send it to you. On the downlow, of course. Shh.

    But don't get carried away. Believe it or not I do have a life away from the computer. Okay that was a total lie, I'm constantly on the computer.

    But I have to make an appearance in front of the kids or they get worried how their going to be fed. This little challenge of mine is to have fun. I'm having a total ball doing it and I hope you enjoy reading about it.

    Anyhoo, I thank you bunches for reading my blog after my hiatus and I have it on good authority that I will be around for a very long time.

  • My "Slight" Obsession over Zucchini Chips

    My "Slight" Obsession over Zucchini Chips

    This past week was a frenzy of dehydrated treats.

    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.

    I want to give special shout-outs to Valarie and Karen for being patient while I got my ducks in a row. These two wonderful women asked me questions a while back and I have one answer and I need advice from you guys on another.

    Valarie is about 8 months pregnant and she asks:
    "any advice that you could give, now that i will have a baby to take care of, on being organized eating raw. I have a hard time trying to manage the sprouting and dehydrating. Thanks"

    Valerie,

    Yeah, I feel you there sister, the last thing I wanted to do was sprout or dehydrate, let alone prepare.

    Here are some ideas to get you started.

    Green smoothies. It takes about 10 minutes to make 4 quarts of delicious, nutritious smoothies. Store in Mason jars in the back of the refrigerator and you have four snacks at your disposal.

    Also, have your husband clean, chop and store fresh vegetables for you to throw in a bowl for a salad or to snack on with a raw dip. Add pumpkin or sunflower seeds.

    Here is my favorite salad dressing that keeps in the frig for about a week.

    Juice of 3 lemons
    1/4 cup olive oil
    1 teaspoon sea salt

    Place ingredients in a bottle and shake.

    Karen says:
    "I am severely allergic to Avacadoes and am looking for substitutions for them. I am also allergic to soy so tofu/miso is out. I thought maybe you would have an idea what I can use as a good substitute for the Avacado?"

    Thanks,
    Karen

    Karen,
    Okay this one has stomped me. I have searched and I don't know of anything that can substitute an avocado. Nothing beats the simplicity of the rich and creamy fruit. It is in a class by itself. Having said that, I have came up with a substitute dish that highlights avocados. Guacamole!

    I'm not sure what dishes you were thinking of creating with avocados but here is a recipe for Sweet Pea Guacamole to get you started.

    RAW RECIPE (photos)

    Sweet Pea Guacamole
    3 cups fresh peas (or use a 20 ounce package of organic frozen peas,* rinsed, defrosted and patted dry)
    1 small bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
    1/2 red onion, chopped
    1 jalapeno, chopped
    1 garlic clove, minced
    Juice of one lime
    sea salt and pepper, to taste

    1 Place peas, onion, jalapeno and garlic in food processor. Process until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.

    2 Transfer into a bowl, stir in cilantro and lemon juice.

    3 Season with sea salt and pepper.

    If anyone knows of a true substitution for avocados, let me and Karen know. NOTE:*Frozen peas may not be truly raw. Send an email to the company and ask if they blanch the peas before freezing. Also, please keep in mind that you will lose some enzymes because of the product has been frozen.

    Normally, I wouldn't comment on news articles but with this one I'll make an exception.
    It was a fairly good article (Pam's Apple Pie Salad caught my attention) until the "note" regarding pineapples at the very bottom.

    I'm not very rigid with my raw culinary ingredients. I use honey, red or rice vinegars, frozen fruits and, if you're familiar with my chocolate sauce, I even use maple syrup.
    But under no circumstance would I ever, ever, ever prepare a raw dish using anything that comes out of a can!
