Okay, so I’m going to search out some Raw Food Recipes and post them here for you to try out and get a taste for the Raw Food World yourself! Now bear in mind that I’m not a chef, I’m not making up any of these recipes myself so whenever possible (meaning if I can find out where they came from) I’ll give due credit.
Here’s a Raw Food Recipe for Vegetable Nibbles, looks really good to me, I found this recipe on a site called Raw Brittannia – it’s from Shazzie.
Vegetable Nibbles
2 tablespoons of cauliflower
2 tablespoons of carrot
½ clove of garlic
1 teaspoon of red onion
1 teaspoon of lemon juice
2 teaspoons of olive oil
2 teaspoons of coriander
Finely chop the garlic, onion and coriander. Add to the oil and juice to make a marinade. Roughly chop the carrots and cauliflower into bite sized pieces. Mix these into the sauce and marinate for at least ten minutes before serving with cocktail sticks. (I think they’re talking about toothpicks here or the fancy version of toothpicks anyway!)
Here’s another recipe for someone considering a Raw Food Diet, this one is for cucumber rolls and it came from the same place as the recipe above. I wouldn’t hesitate to eat either of these recipes, as a matter of fact I think I’ll be purchasing the ingredients for them and trying them out very soon myself.
Cucumber Rolls
1 cucumber to shave
½ sweet apple
1 tablespoon of fresh parsley
1 teaspoon of fresh dill
1 cup of watercress
Using a vegetable peeler, shave the full length of the cucumber until you have
three wide strips. Lay these out flat on a worktop. Blend (using a hand blender) the apple,
parsley, dill and watercress together until creamy. Spread equal amounts of
this mixture onto the whole length of the cucumber strips.Roll up the strips and stand them on aplate.Garnish with berries and leaves, and then serve.
