Guest guest Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 After a few years of toying with the idea, I finally bought my first living foods (un)cookbook ( " The Raw Truth: The Art of Preparing Living Foods " by Jeremy A. Safron.) I picked it because it seemed the least complicated book and I wanted to start off easy and work my way into things gradually. Today I made Apple Sauce. It's just the right combination of tart and sweet. It certainly doesn't look like the stuff in jars (it's brown) but it tastes better (in my opinion.) Applesauce Serves 2 to 4 (I found it to be a perfect bowl for myself, but I could see it serving 4 if it were a little dessert after dinner, maybe along with a torte or something.) Ingredients 1/4 cup raisins 3/4 cup filtered water juice of 1/2 lemon 2 large, crisp apples, peeled and diced (I used Galas) Ground cinnamon, for garnish Ground nutmeg, for garnish Directions: Place the raisins in a small bowl, cover with the water, and soak for 1 hour. In a blender, combine the raisins, their soaking water, and the lemon juice and blend until smooth. Add the apples and blend until smooth. Sprinkle each serving with cinnamon and nutmeg.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Good for you - and what an adventure you're going to have, eh? I've filed your recipe - under Rawfoods, under Sauces, Gravies and Dressings, and under Sweets, Puddings, Desserts (I think that covers it!) Thanks a bunch. Now when you try more, please let us know!

For instance, it never even occured to me to sprout quinoa before! They look so cute with their teeny tiny little tails! And the easiest thing I've ever sprouted: I soaked them for six hours and then I put a coffee filter in a funnel and poured them into it. I let them sit in their coffee filter for eight hours, running water through them one more time half way through, and then they were ready. Amazing. > Thanks a bunch. Now when you try more, please let us know! Definitely! I don't have a dehydrator (yet) so everything I'm going to be trying early on should be pretty accessible to anyone. There are some salad dressings I'm eager to try because I'm always carting my own dressing to restaurants to make sure I have something I can eat but I'm not thrilled with any of the dressings I know how to make so far and some of these raw ones look stunning!
