Guest guest Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 Hi, and thank you for being here for me to bounce thoughts and questions off of. I and my boyfriend have decided to get raw. So, I'm doing lots of research. We live and work on the road, traveling from small town to small town, and we do so, on a bugget. There fore, my may concern is will I always be able to get what I need? I need to be able to work with what is availible to me(saddly we still find our selves at wal-mart, though I hope this life-style change will help stop that). I also am designing a skoolie(school bus conversion into rv) and would like tips on a raw kitchen set-up. What are some good things to have at my exposer? Thanks agian for any help. Hope to hear from some one soon. Jenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 HI Jenn, Welcome and congratulations on discovering raw!!! I think that the best single piece of equipment is a blender, you can make fruit smoothies and salad dressings with it. Since you'll most likely be wanting to stick with a more simple approach on the road I think that along with some bowls and a good knife would be all you would need. When you are on the road try to find produce stores, produce stands, and asian and other ethnic markets. They tend to be much less expensive grocery stores. Wishing you all the best!

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Raw Pizza - try using a large flat leaf of something green or a slice of zucchini or eggplant if you like them (I don't), spread it with lots of tomatoes (or sauce made in a blender w/tomatoes, sundried tomatoes, either dates for a sweet sauce or chives, celery and basil for a 'savory' sauce) add a ground not " meat' of sunflower seeds blended dry then mixed with 6- 8 unsalted raw olives. (mind you this isn't 80/10/10 but it's tasty and a good transistion thing. Raw Sushi - buy raw nori, roll veggies inside - red & /or yellow peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, asparagus, green snow peas, green beans, sprouts, zucchini, dates, avocado... pick 3 -5 of your favs and have fun rolling them up, (optional mix avocado w/cucumber & spread the mix on the nori first then roll up the vegies) Again w/the avocado - be aware this could be a higher fat item and choose how often to have these. fix about 2/3 sheets or nori for each person but please feed them a banana lettuce smoothie while they are waiting to eat the nori. Raw Nachos -- THIS IS FANTASTIC people! Use kitchen sissors to cut red cabbage into triangle 'chips' - make a bowl full! Make salsa by dicing tomatoes, celery, red & /or yellow peppers, cilantro (if you like it-I don't) & chives. Make Guacamole by mashing avocado w/cucumber. Make ground 'not meat' by blending 1 cup dry sunflower seeds then mixing with 6-8 unsalted kalamata olives. If you just have to have cheese - blend pine nuts with water for consistancy - you'll have to play with this, I haven't done it in ages. My SAD Book Club is begging me to bring Nachos back for our next movie night (btw I served them last time w/o the 'cheese' and didn't get to eat any myself - darn!) If I were traveling often (I was my first 3 wks of raw) I would invest only in a personal size (and inexpensive) blender (get 2 or 3 mugs if there are 2 of you), if I had to make other transistional foods I would pick up a really cheap food processor too - like a black n decker $14 one - most of us move past the 'it has to look, feel and taste' cooked in order to get through this phase fairly quickly. Get a good knife (see if you can find a travel knife w/it's own sheath and roll up cutting board. You'll be good for a LONG time with that. Have fun, take what you need and leave the rest!
