How I cook!!

[Guest guest]

Hello,

 

For those of you who read my post yesterday I just wanted to

share some more information. I am a raw foodist, but my family is

not, so cooking presents somewhat of a problem sometimes. I look for

opportunities to " Customize " as it were, meals. IF you are in the

same situation you might try this sometimes. I often make a salad

with wonderful field greens, tomatoes, avocados, celery, cabbage(

red and green) green onions and broccoli., or other vegetables that

I might have. I Than will take my portion out. Now I do things to

make others happy, for example. I can take this salad and make a

chinese chicken salad, by adding some cut up soy chicken nuggets and

some tiny noodles, and topping it off with a great shitake mushroom

dressing!! This is wonderful by the way, Now I can also add some cut

up Roll tacos, made with black beans or Roll Tacos made with soy

chorizo( You cut up a roll taco into about 7 or 8 bite size pieces

and mix with the sald). Now I can add some great homemade salsa as a

dressing, and some cheese,and I have a mexican salad instead of a

chinese salad. I can also take some tortillas and spread a little

olive oil on them, bake them in the oven, now spread with refried

beans top with the salad, salsa and cheese, and I have a great

tostada Now I can also make this same basic salad with some cut up

apples and walnuts and some soy chicken, with a mayo dressing and

make a great waldorf salad!! There are so many things you can do if

you are creative, and if you also find yourself in this situation

this is a great way to satisfy all involved!! I wish you love and

peace today MARK

Thank you, Mark! This sounds wonderful and reading this while

smelling the ready Challah in the kitchen, my stomach is commenting

as well.

However I do have a question (you have probably heard that a hundered

of times...)

Assuming that everything raw is cold - being a comfort-food person

myself with a big desire for warm or hot food( I adore soups), how do

you cope with that?

I know that humans are the only beings that cook their food, but I

guess I would really miss something. At least some hot tea or hot

water with ginger...

Please correct me (and forgive my ignorance) when I assume that you

live on fruit and vegetables only.

Grains? Potatoes, rice and beans need cooking.

Processed food...even honey is processed in a way, isn't it?

If you could share somemore information with us I'd really appreciate

that.

 

Warm regards,

Gabriella

 

 

And " Shabbat Shalom " to all of you!

While there are so many different types of vegeterian, lacto ovo, vegan ,etc,

there are not so many different types of raw foodists!! I understand your

questions. I do not eat beans and rice. I lived in Japan,and really do miss rice

some times. These obviously must be cooked to eat. I do sprout certain kinds of

beans and eat them such as lentils, mung beans, etc, but sprouting black beans

and pinto beans etc doesn't really work. I do sprout Chick peas(Garbanzos and

make a killer hummus with them that is very close to making it with cooked peas.

I eat alot of nuts and seeds, which is where life, vitamins adn minerals are. If

you are not eating nuts and seeds daily you are missing out. They are loaded

with Minerals, vitamins etc. Brazil nuts adn higher in selenium than any other

food on earth. The brain is composed of GLA(Gammalinoleic acid) and walnuts and

higher in GLA than any other food. They do feed the brain. I would suggest that

everyone find a way to work those into their diet

if they want to supply their body with all the essential nutrition. I

understand about the comfort food. You can heat food up to 130 degrees and not

kill the live enzymes and amino acids in the food, so I do heat up foods in the

winter. I have a great recipe for a carrot avocado ginger soup that is awesome

if you would like it let me know and I will post it. I sprout grains and dry

them in my dehydrator. I also make a killer brownie with sesame seeds and

sunflower seeds that is so damn close you wouldn't believe it. If you would like

that let me know and I wil post also. I have a dehydrator and I make lots of

dried crackers etc in it. Dehydrating is wonderful as it preserves the life in

the food, but also preserves the taste. I do drink hot teas, and I do not feel

that doing so breaks with eating raw foods, as it is extracting the oils from

the leaf or root!! I woudl miss my tea if I didn't !!!LOL Tea(green tea) is

wonderful for the teeth, it has the highest concentrations of

flourine(natural flouride) of any other plant, although drinking alot can be

hard on the adrenals. Herb teas are great also. I loev chickory adn cinnamon

teas. Honey isn't really processed, well some of it is. You can buy a raw honey

however that is not heated or extracted by heat. I do alot of smoothies. Putting

nuts and seeds in your smoothies gives them a wonderful nutty taste and gets you

all the nutrients of the nuts and seeds without having to eat them over a long

period. I hope this helps!!! I loev essene break( sprouted dehydrated bread) it

is easy to make also and if you add spices like cinnamon and also raisins, it

tastes so damn good!!!! I hope this helps. Thank you very much

This was indeed interesting, Mark, although I have to admit that I am

not sure if this would be my kind of diet.

On the other hand, becominug vegetarian and vegan doesn't happen in

one step either, and I certainly don't doubt the positive site of a

raw food diet.

How can one make brownies in a dehydrator?

And bread?

Thank you for the information, and yes, every recipe is more tham

welcome!

 

Warm regards,
