• I was a coffee addict. I still drank it when everything else I ate was raw, for about 6 months. I quit cold turkey and had no withdrawal and haven’t had a drop since, and that was 3 years ago. I think it was because I was 99% raw that I had no withd…

• I put it in sauces, it is great in curry sauce. Put it out of the fridge before you use it so it blends easily. I tried to use it in a shake and I had to drink it right away because the coconut oil started to solidify! Kate Wood uses it in her cakes…

  in Coconut oil and butter how do you use them? Comment by Zoe
• I tried to put coconut butter in a smoothie but it curdled, I had to drink it right away, it was lovely then. You can put it in sauces where you would use nuts, and in cakes. In cakes it helps to ‘set’ them and make a lovely texture. My favourite is…

• An interesting weight loss idea is to eat coconut butter/oil, it is an unusual healthy kind of saturated fat which helps you to lose weight. I eat it, because I love the taste of it. A farmer gave it to his cows to make then put on weight but he fou…

• Dehydrated food is cheap to make and very filling, I think it is a good way of keeping costs down at first when you’re eating a lot. It is common to eat tons of food when you first go raw, it gradually decreases in most people as your body needs les…

• I’ve got a Siamese and I hav lways been told that you mustn’t give milk to a Siamese. I wonder why people say that about Siamese and not other types of cat, I mean, they’re all the same in the inside aren’t they? It is amazing to feed your cat raw m…

• Oat groats aren’t normally found raw, they are steamed so bugs don’t eat them, so they won’t sprout unless they are really raw. You can buy really raw ones from raw food websites. Buckwheat is sold in most health food stores, I always buy mine and s…

• No. Eat as much as you like! I frequently eat up to 3 avocados a day, and hemp oil and maybe coconut oil too, and I just feel better and better. There are two trains of thought on this in the raw community. There are people like me who find that as …

• fasting one day a week every week is really nice. Supporting your eating with yoga, massage and maybe colonics and enemas if you’re that way inclined also helps speed up the detox and get the nasties moving out of your system.

• The greens thing is pretty amazing! For me, after I had been raw for a while I just started craving greens, and from then on, I really can’t get enough of them. I make huge salads and spinach curry, green smoothies etc. It is the same for most peopl…

  in How to balance the raw diet Comment by Zoe
• Personally I eat intuitively. This means that I eat whatever my body wants. This varies from day to day. Some days I will eat a lot of fat, some days none at all, just juice. I am 100% raw and I don’t eat nuts any more. But it takes time to get to t…

• you can use any nut or avocado to replace coconut. White nuts would work best. Or cacao butter could work well too, as it goes hard like coconut butter does, but it doesn’t taste as good, I love coconut butter though. I f you want your cheesecake to…

• When I first became vegan, after two weeks the smell of milk made me heave. Someone gave me a cup of tea with milk in. I didn’t know, but after the first sip, I nearly threw up. I couldn’t believe that I went off it so quickly. I used to drink a lot…

• I don’t like it, I think it makes things seem plasticy, or waxy. I think coconut butter is a better ingredient, and it is usually raw when good quality, and less processed. Try it in your chocolate recipes, the bars I have tried that are made of coc…

• marinated mushrooms are delicious and fill the olive shaped gap ;) I just marinade them in raw oil, garlic, salt and a touch of lemon juice. You could add any herb to that too if you like.

  in Hi! Help! Comment by Zoe
• If you marinade mushrooms with some salt, a little raw oil and garlic if you like it, then the liquid you are left with tastes exactly like soya, nama shoyu, braggs etc !
