Guest guest Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 Lane, I don't know about chestnut puree but I have just begun making these delicious mock S.A.D. recipes. Alissa Cohen's recipes are so easy to make (from spaghetti to fake dairy that you can use in your recipes. I made the " sunny pate " and it's incredible and I added a couple of tomatoes in the processor at the end...rolled it in lettuce leaves and rolled it up. To live for! I did order Bryan's book " Raw in Ten " because his pics looked so good and I like simple recipes and he includes shipping, LOL. Just get the recipe books and you can go crazy and this way of eating becomes fun. Yes, you can make anything mock, just about. Raw food tastes better than gormet cooked. Gormet raw! I'm getting now to the point where I look at a regular recipe and figure out how to make it with raw.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 If I was to use a recipe, it would be masking my desire for cooked food. Not that that's a bad thing.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 No, it's not a bad thing...it makes variety more normal as to what we are used to. Something pretty, and tasty. My main concern is that the recipes I use are not real complicated, not too time consuming and do not have combinations that I consider will cause fermentation from wrong combinations...or have to many combinatios of things mixing. Raw food recipes are so plentiful in number that we need to pick and choose according to our tastes and diet preferences.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 Diana, I've been curious about the " Raw in Ten " book. Could you give us a review when you get it? I just received Alissa Cohen's book yesterday, so haven't had a chance to try any recipes yet. Looks like a great book! thanks Terry rawfood , Diana of Dewberry Hill <cozad76078> wrote: > Lane, I don't know about chestnut puree but I have just begun making these delicious mock S.A.D. recipes.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 OK, Terry...I'll give you a book report on " Raw in Ten " . I think it's hot off the press and I may not get it for a few weeks. You will adore Alissa's book. I've got both Cousin's books at the duplex and will get them tomorrow if I can get off this iced mountain (LOL!) I'm on the Rainbow Green list and it sounds pretty complicated...will see. May experiment. But I'm very at home with Alissa's book. Oh! I tried your corn salad and it was delicious...I actually spun it once in the food processor to make it easier to chew...LOL! I have good teeth, I was just lazy;=) D of DH Diana, I've been curious about the " Raw in Ten " book. Could you give us a review when you get it?

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Thanks Diana. I've spent a wonderful hour with my Alissa book - it is great. I've already recommended it to a person who is just starting out on raw. The recipes all sound good - however, I don't use honey or Braggs, I'll just substitute salt and date juice and see how it works. I'm on a very tight budget, so I really liked the way she broke the first four weeks down into what to buy. That has been my hardest thing - making sure I have the right ingredients on hand when I want to whip something up. Looking forward to hearing about the other book too, tho. I am almost never home so my prep time is at a premium. Glad you liked the corn salad - that book has a lot of good stuff in it. I use the tomato dressing almost exclusively now - add a few other things from time to time, but stick with the basic recipe pretty much. Spinning the corn salad in the processor. Know what? If turned to chunky mush, I bet it would make great dehydrated crackers ... hmmmmm. May have to try that next time! cheers terry rawfood , Diana of Dewberry Hill <cozad76078> wrote: > OK, Terry...I'll give you a book report on " Raw in Ten " .
