• no. i looked it up and it is flash-pasteurized. my yoga studio seems to think this stuff is like the fountain of youth in a bottle and are promoting it like crazy. i want to gently tell them “IT”S PASTEURIZED!!!!!” plus, it’s cheaper to buy a coconu…

• i love using the dehydrator to warm and soften veggies for dinner when it’s cold. you only have to stick them in for 40-45 minutes on 115. here’s a little routine i do: “sauteed” veggies: you can slice rather fine slivers of red peppers, onions, &am…

• try this, it’s a directory for everything raw & holistic NYC i usually find it’s a good idea to call places who have certified teachers and find out where they trained, what they recommend.

• if you are raw, i would find it a bit frustrating to study at a place that wasn’t teaching about raw. it just would seem a little backward to me. would you be open to studying at the hippocrates institute in florida? they have a 9-week program to be…

• samilicious. totally get the caution. yeah, i guess until you are sure that “this is me for real” on raw, it’s hard to be confident that you’d want to start telling people. audrey—here’s how it played out today: -my employer (in a conversation where…
