  • Greens growing in the snow

    Tweet A whole day yesterday of tumbling flakes, six inches or more. Beautiful and, taken in the right spirit, an invitation to stay home and get things done  near the wood stove. We had run out of a few things so not enough greens for green juice. I missed it. But it is good having […]

  • My Christmas present to you – Christmas dessert recipes :-)

  • Eating raw-ish out and about

    Tweet One good snack that is relatively easy to find is cucumber and hummus. Find a corner shop, delicatessen or supermarket and you'll probably find a cucumber and hummus. Get hummus with olive oil if you can, and of course organic when there's a choice. Hummus isn't totally raw. If you are lucky the lemon […]

  • What to eat when you are out and about and cold and hungry?

    Tweet Autumn is rapidly turning into winter here in Scotland and it's a bit of an art form carrying around warming snacks for hungry moments.

  • Sometimes all you have to do is ask!

    Tweet      Here's me in the Chapter House of Bristol Cathedral smiling in pleasure and anticipation at my raw dinner!

  • Juices/juicers Smoothies/Blenders

    Tweet People have been asking me about these and I'm prompted to write something for all of you reading here. Green vegetable juices are great for healthy nourishing drinks for between meals. They are easy on the system because there is no fibre and all the nutrients can be assimilated fast. For these and for […]

  • You saw it here first!

    Tweet Emma, Stephen, Gail, Paddy and I, all members of the Glasgow Raw Food Meetup group, were interviewed by Mark Smith of The Herald for an article on Raw food.
