  • 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 :-)

    Tweet Raw desserts are fresh, delicious and nutricious – and can be rich, sweet and traditional enough to please whoever is lucky enough to eat your food this Christmas. Here are recipes for 'Christmas pudding' and creamy vanilla custard flavours and textures but in a quick-to-prepare pairing of a fruit salad and a creamy raw […]

  • 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! It was as delightful as it looks, with a timbale of perfectly seasoned nuts, soaked bulghur wheat, herbs and spinach (not ideal food combining, but hey) and an exquisitely seasoned raw chili and tomato sauce. […]

  • Raw Food Potlucks

    Tweet Just letting you know there are raw food potluck groups meeting regularly in Edinburgh and Glasgow and you can find out more on www.meetup.com  Another one may be starting in Stirling and if you send me an email I'll let you know when it gets going. There's a post about the potlucks down below […]

  • I’m on Scottish Television – The Hour, Wednesday 29th July 5.00-6.00 pm

    Tweet And as I write this the evening before, I'm busy preparing food to offer to the presenters, Stephen Jardine and Lulu. I figured people already think about salads as raw so I'm presenting a raw soup that you could serve cold or warmed, a dip for sitting around and relaxing, a new take on […]

  • Raw Food photos

    Tweet I have a back log of photos of raw food in my collection and since to many people raw food of the plant variety means lettuce, cucumber and tomatoes with the occasional apple or banana I thought I'd post some photos that show what is possible with this relatively new way of eating. Some […]

  • Was that Swine flu?

    Tweet I hope I've just about finished having Swine flu, because if that was it it wasn't too bad and I needn't have any further concern on my own account. The symptoms have been some mild headaches and in between a bit of empty headedness (no jocular comments please!). And the edge of a sore […]

  • Raw Curry

    Tweet I don't have a photo of this yet but it looks like, well, a dryish curry. It's more of a concept than a recipe and if you have a dehydrator it is very easy. Or if you have an Aga stove you can try making it in a wide dish on a folded tea […]

  • Raw Potlucks in Scotland

    Tweet If you are in Scotland and interested in meeting people who eat raw food, and of course getting to talk about food, wellbeing and related topics AND sampling each others' creations you might want to look at www.meetup.com/Edinburgh-Raw-Food-Meetup-group  Which is the potluck group started by me in Edinburgh. There's also a raw food potluck […]

  • Caught eating potato crisps in the pub

    Tweet Yes, caught with my hand in the packet and hamster cheeks :-) One of my friends turned and asked 'But I thought you only ate raw food?' I quite liked my answers, good blog material….. Years ago a naturopath friend of mine used to say that if you eat just the right things most […]
