• I just received the cookbook Raw by Juliano as a gift. I have yet to make the recipes, but they look to be an interesting mix of dishes. And, the pictures are great, too. The only drawback is that many of the recipes have long ingredients lists. Als…

• It sounds as though you’d like Rainbow Green Live-Food Couisine. I was hesitant at first to make the recipes as there aren’t any pictures, but have really enjoyed everything I’ve made so far. And, there is a fairly wide variety of cultural influence…

• If you have the time, raw lasagne really helps with pasta cravings! For a quick fix, I like to make noodles out of zucchini, like in this marinara recipe.

• Hi: Do you take pills or liquid? I’ve had the liquid before and it really tastes like what I would imagine dirty socks would taste like. Funny, great description! I take B12 in a lquid B complex that my nutritionist has. At first, I found the smell …

• I’ve had similar cravings, but for chicken. I’ve never been sure whether the cravings were physical or psychological, as my Mom made a lot of chicken and fish when I was growing up (I never really had much red meat). Anyhow, my nutritionist advised …

• I’m getting the hang of warming food up in the dehydrator! I made the zucchini ratatouille, which warms up for about an hour. The sauce was so thick that I could swear it had cheese in it. Anyhow, it really helped with my warm food craving.

• You can “heat” them up a little using a dehydrator. Oooh, this sounds like a great idea! How long does it take to warm something like a soup up? Do just put it in the dehydrator in a bowl?

• Congratulations for seeking out a nutritionist! She basically said that its great because you’d be getting plenty of veggies and fruit..but she didn’t buy into the whole “living enzymes” because as she said “your body has enzymes to break down food”…

• Hi Hallie, When I starting eating raw, I also went through a detox with a naturopath here in Portland. Even going raw alone, though, is quite detoxing. Anyhow, Dr. Ariel had us write in a journal every night – just free form about anything that came…

• Whenever I just see Braggs in a recipe, I use the Liquid Aminos (this can be substitutes in any recipe that has Nama Shoyu or other soy sauces, plus the Braggs website says that this is a live food product that hasn’t been heated). Personally, I jus…

• I was pretty shocked by the price of my dehydrator as well, but it has become a replacement stove and microwave, so I suppose that makes sense. I mostly use mine to make bread and cracker recipes. Lately, though, I’ve been using cucumbers instead of…

• I’ve only used the Excalibur – I have the 5 tray with a timer. It is just fantastic and the folks at Excalibur are really nice (they’ve added Teflex sheets to my orders, sent more than I paid for, etc). The timer is key for me because I often make i…

• Thanks for the link – these look fantastic!

• harmonylia, you should feel fine rating your own recipes, if you’d like (I definitely think some of my own are better than others). As far as those with no stars – I see those as blank slates and try to make recipes that haven’t been rated here and …

• Thanks for both of your advice! I am getting the hang of defining a raw lifestyle for myself and following my senses on what to keep and what to leave from my diet. I’ve completely given up coffee, but still enjoy herbal and green teas. I was such a…

• I don’t have any other vacations planned so I can be really steeped in the raw ways before I have to do it again. Hope you’re feeling better after the holidays! These seem to be the toughest time for everyone to eat healthy.

• Hi Paula and Bri…So glad you’ve both joined. And Jenny, too. I’m a bit concerned for the holidays. This is my first year visiting with family as vegan and eating raw foods – just as they were getting used to my vegetarianism! I’m definitely bringing…

• This is pretty frightening – I wonder if there are ideas of the reasons for this? I’d love to also see a graph like this that shows nutritional value to cost in various items!

• Thanks for the tips on using almond meal – both in the cinnamon rolls and crackers. This has gotten me on an almond milk making kick! I also added a basic raw almond milk recipe that I’ve been experimenting with. If you have any variations or additi…

  in Almond meal Comment by kandace
• OK, pretty sure I can do this (making almond milk). I would also like to make the raw cinnamon roll recipe and it calls for 1¼ cups almond meal. What quantity of almonds would I start with in making the almond milk to make sure I had enough? Also, h…

  in Almond meal Comment by kandace
• I haven’t tried this yet, I believe you can use almond meal as a sort of flour when dehydrating raw breads. I’ve seen raw cinnamon rolls using almond meal, but haven’t tried them myself. I’d love to hear if you come up with any variations or ideas o…

• So glad to hear about this restaurant in Seattle – we’ll put this on our list of places to visit! I wonder if there are any raw restaurants on the Oregon coast – we visit there frequently and the amount of fish is overwhelming!

• Hi divenprana, Did I cut too much too quickly? When I first started eating raw, I went on a cleanse and began eating raw at the same time. So, there were many flu-like symptoms. I also had pains in my legs. But, those were expected and soon passed. …

• Hi Jenny, If you like curry, there’s’ also a Curried Carrot Soup up. I love just about anything with curry in it!

• Great, thanks. I was soaking pecans and sunflowers for the sunburgers. I just threw the pecans in with the sunflowers part of the way through. One less dish to wash!

  in Soaking nuts and seeds Comment by kandace
• I have a recipe that calls for a couple kinds of nuts, both to soak 1 to 2 hours. Would these be OK to soak in the same bowl, or should all soaking be separate?

• What about cashews? Soakers or non-soakers? :)

  in Soaking nuts and seeds Comment by kandace
• Thanks for the tip, Kristen. I didn’t realize I could soak ahead of time and dehydrate so I’m often caught off-guard when I want to make a recipe and realize I need soaked nuts. In Rainbow Green Live-Food Cuisine, there is a chart that gives time fo…
