• Hi Dianne: Welcome to Gone Raw. You’re on a really fantastic path right now – we’d love to hear how your days are going! When I first started eating raw food, I tried to really treat myself by making food that I was craving – food that I would love.…

• I enjoy the process of cleansing. My first cleanse was a 2-week program offered through our nutritionist. It was right when I was transitioning away from dairy and into a vegan, raw diet so it helped quite a bit to work on getting detoxed and disrup…

• Many people do just fine with raw foods without taking any supplements at all. Myself, I take a B12 supplement (prescribed by my naturopath who is a raw foodist herself). I don’t take any other vitamins or anything like that. It probably depends on …

• I just got me dehydrator delivered from the states today! Congratulations on the dehydrator! Eating raw was absolutely revolutionized for me when I got mine. Right now, I have cereal, crackers and lemon cookies in mine – can’t wait for this evening!

• That’s funny, I was just reading about all the raw food folks on myspace. I have an account (/kandacerae), but haven’t really known what to make of or do with it. There are a few raw food groups on there, which is cool.

• Wow, welcome everyone. We’re so glad you are here! Sarah: Gone Raw is based out of Portland, too. Small world! Anyhow, these fudge bars all but kicked my chocolate cravings. They’re just so good! Also, try out the chocolate Laura bars.

• I was using Nomi Shannon’s Raw Gourmet recipe (that’s what she calls it) Oh, got it. I must have copied the name wrong, as the recipe actually is Nomi Shannon’s (she gave me permission to post).

• Hi Joy: I wasn’t sure if I should even mention this, and I hope I haven’t broken any rules or anything. Oh definitely question everything. There aren’t rules here about what you can ask – we’re all in a process of learning more about vegan and raw f…

• you have to bring your cookies That’s right – the lemon cookies. We ate them so quickly I almost forgot about them! Luckily, I’ve found out that one dinner is going to be taco night, which is pretty easy. I just pack a couple lettuce leaves and some…

• Dried fruit is great for traveling, but I usually eat fruit fresh otherwise. Although last year, my first year with a dehydrator, I had a lot of fun dehydrating fruits that were in season and carrying them with me whenever I left the house. I’m sure…

• I just discovered another raw lasagna recipe (link) by the raw chef. It looks really good (even uses a variation of the taco meat, which I’d love to incorporate in a future recipe). I haven’t tried this recipe yet, but have read a couple reviews. Mo…

• I ended up having the lasagna Sunday. I put it in the dehydrator for about an hour to dry out and warm up and it was absolutely delicious. I’m looking forward to hearing what the family thinks (I dropped some off for them), as they are not vegan or …

• Everything is made and in the refrigerator! I ended up making the marinara sauce Thursday night so that there would be less to to this morning. Actually, making everything took much less time that I originally thought. We’ll see if it is worth all t…

• Where do you get them? Quite a few of our local grocery stores have raw nuts in their bulk section: Whole Foods, New Seasons, Peoples. I believe even Trader Joe’s has them. I’ve also bought raw pumpkin seeds (and I believe a couple varieties of raw …

• I whipped this up for lunch today. Much, much better than I was making. Thanks! I can’t believe the difference. I think I was assuming that I needed way too much garlic and lemon.

• This helps. Is sounds as though the slicing disk and mandoline basically do the same thing, right? Another gadget I’m thinking about is the spiralizer. I love the look of zucchini pasta (right now, I just use my peeler, which is nice, but not the qu…

• Here’s a general recipe, inspired by one in Rainbow Green Live Food Couisine. You’d want to cut the eggplant into rounds and cover with salt water for the day (@ 8 hours). Then, toss with some oil and seasonings (olive oil, thyme and sea salt are go…

• rae-dean: Try checking out the potlucks on meetup.com. The next one is March 10th. It looks to be a great, diverse group of folks. I’ve been meaning to make it to one of these for a while. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised at raw foodists from …

• We’re awfully lucky here in Portland (Oregon). There are enough raw-foodists to support a few monthly potlucks, a mostly raw cafe and the local co-op even has a small section of the store devoted to raw food items!

• What are your thoughts on the benefit of fruitarian vs. raw foods? I haven’t really had a chance to explore the differences. What has been your motivation?

• I’m not sure about tahini specifically, but I’ve certainly become more aware of the weight of cooked food since bringing raw food into my life. Have you tried raw tahini? It is still pretty heavy, but I haven’t experienced any odd feelings with it a…

• Yeah, I don’t see zucchini making it well through the freezing process tasting great, either. With the lasagna recipe, perhaps try making a larger batch of the sauce and cheese and freezing part of those. Then, assemble the lasagna each time so that…

• Freezing is just fine from the standpoint of food still being considered raw – many raw desserts are purposely frozen in order to keep their shape! You’ll probably find that some recipes freeze and thaw better than others in regards to taste, though…

• This was a fun experiment! I thought the banana sort of overshadowed the lemon taste, but gave some really good ideas for a new cookie in the future. Anyhow, I posted my favorite of the lemon cookie batches. Love to hear what you think. Raw Lemon Co…

• Hmmm…I haven’t seen Maraw’s cookies (or is this a recipe)? So, I’m going to just give it a try. I bought cashews and lemons (and have shredded coconut and agave on hand). I’ll see what I can whip up this weekend.
