warm comfort food

in Food Preparation

hi I am making the transition to raw at the moment. The biggest issue for me is to break old eating habits and get used to new routines for raw food preparation. i enjoy salads and soups, but sometimes when i come in from the cold after a long stressful day I feel like some comfort food. Something warm filling and wholesome.

Can anybody suggest some raw foods and recipes that would fill the spot? Can they be prepared quickly?

    well well – thank you for all the great suggestions, I can’t wait to try them. My dehydrator has been gathering dust for months so it is time to dust it off and get it cracking. Using pepper to “heat up” the dish is a great idea. I put a chilli in my breakfast smoothy this morning and that certainly raised the heat level! I will buy some zucchinis today too. thanks for your help.

    I live in Brisbane Australia – I’m glad you like the photo, I am a sagittarius so that is why it resonates with me – also it is time to make some changes in my life and plot a new path…

    keep the suggestions coming they are most appreciated.

    so many wonderful ideas

    Winona quick question about your cheese – do you sprout the sunflower seeds first or use them dry? Do you put the pine nuts in whole or process them first? it looks delicious

    I have been making breads in my dehydrator and storing them up. Adding a lot more spices and chillies has made a difference too. I think my big problem in the past was not making tasty warming meals, and relying on quick drinks and salads. This would lead to cravings and desire for some TLC which led me to breaking my raw diet.

    I have also learnt to make smaller loads for the dehydrator. I used to think that I had to fill all 5 trays otherwise it was being wasted. This also meant that if I did not like something then it was a big waste. Now by making smaller quantities I am practicing as I go. Also I do not have to take up the whole kitchen to make something. The smell through the house is great too.

    Does anybody else have any favorite comfort foods they turn to when they need some TLC?

    hmmm winona

    I just printed off your linguini recipe – looks very flavoursome and can’t wait to try it. I am drying some cheese at the moment. I didn’t have any pine nuts, and the ones in the shop looked old and stale, so substituted barely sprouted pumpkin seeds. The whole house smelled rich and spicy when I walked in… feeling groovy now it is time to turn them over

    omshanti – I love that photo too but no it is not me – what are smashies?
