  • The most common raw bread here on this site is onion bread. There are various recipes around to try: http://www.goneraw.com/node/16319. http://therawchef.blogs.com/russell_james/2006/... http://www.goneraw.com/recipe/australian-country-bread http://…

  • I use maple syrup (or agave) instead and just reduce the prescribed amount of liquid that goes into the dish. If you can't get lucuma, substitute with vanilla seeds or extract instead. Joyce is right, lucuma is not a substitute for maple syrup, it i…
  • I don't think it is fair to repeat the recipe - you should get the book. However 'cheese' is great in courgette flowers or squash blossoms. There are quite a few versions here on this site, but my favourite is blended pine nuts, scallions, lemon jui…
  • I found this on the web. The cleanse here is slightly longer than you indicated. I don't know anyone who has tried this. http://www.naturalnews.com/026529_coconut_oil_detox_candida.html
  • My family always get badly bitten every year, yet I never do and it always ends up as a talking point. We have put it down to eating raw garlic. I have also heard that B vitamins act as a repellent, but I don't know if that is a myth or not.
  • Try ginger, lime, spinach, cucumber and pineapple to ring the changes. If you want something more substantial, blend in an avo.

  • Any type of fruit that you can just grab and go I would consider a staple. Bananas at the top of the list. Sunflower and pumpkin seeds for when the munchies come. Green smoothies. Onion bread. Don't think I would call it a staple, but it is always g…

  • I have been doing this now for around 3 weeks using sesame oil, and weirdly, I have become quite addicted to it. I first started it in conjunction with the master cleanse as a way to get through the first few days of nausea and it works brilliantly.…
  • I used to be a big bread girl and can understand why you feel the way you do. I used to eat it even to point of constipation and candida just for the taste of it. Here are a few things that might help you think about it some more and also a small ex…
  • It works really well with cacao. For example, chocolate mousse made with avo's, dates, cacao and spirullina is good. Also frozen chocolate pie, which is made mostly with ground cashews, agave, cacao. Adding the spirulina gives it some real depth.
  • Hi Holly! Congratulations on your choice and welcome to this site. Everyone here is always so supportive, and even after all of this time being raw, I still turn to this site first for inspiration from others. We have all had our ups and downs and d…

  • I'm not very experienced in chocolate making, so I tend to throw the ingredients in the blender with the melted cacao butter. By hand, it helps if the agave goes in last so it has other ingredients to work with. Here is some summer chocolate inspira…
  • Try orange juice with spinach. (Search for orange julius on this site). If it is still too hard core for your taste, add a banana. Sorry if this is incoherent, I'm mobile.
  • Put your oven on the lowest setting but if you can't get it to 100 degrees, prop the oven door open slightly. Try it out first with something simple like tomatoes before you go to the expense of dried bread.

  • I plan to do a detox this weekend. Its hot so melons are on my mind. Any tips for a melon detox?

  • Suasoria, thank you so much. I know where 118 degrees is so will certainly give that a try on my next visit. I will also check out the other one. Thanks again. Karen.
  • Hi to everyone in SoCal. I travel very frequently to Irvine for my job and would love to try some raw food restaurants next time I go there. Please are you able to recommend? Thanks!
  • I NEED one of these. I saw it reviewed in a UK mag a few weeks back and forgot to investigate further. Bluedolfin thanks for raising. Have not seen much of you on here for a while. I always loved your threads and the way you write. *Sploosh* * splas…
  • oooh I forgot tomatoes and cherimoya's.. Now that is tough to think what to edit out. Maybe mint, maybe pears......?
  • Here is my top ten: 1. hemp milk 2. bananas 3. mangoes 4. oranges 5. pears 6. spinach 7. mint 8. onion bread 9. dates 10. avocados
  • Tina Marie. Welcome and congratulations on making the leap. There are alot of threads on this site about weight loss and cleansing. People here are very giving and willing to share what works for them. Everyone's journey is different and here is my …

  • I have done so many coffee withdrawal exercises over the years, I'm now well practiced. I used to go cold turkey but as I got older it made me nauseous, so here is an example of how I do it painlessly. The example starts with 4 cups, but if you drin…
  • I'm not sure that any food genuinely burns fat, although there are things that supposedly help to stimulate the metabolism., such as eating breakfast, strength training (as well as cardio), drinking lots of water (to flush the system), staying clear…
  • I can relate. It makes you feel a whole lot worse when you have experienced what 'good' feels like and then you slip. I know this is contraversial on this site but I disagree with the Master Cleanse when transitioning (and I also read your other thr…
  • Hi Fee. Thanks for letting me know about the foodie from Billingham. It is still about 150 miles away from me - boohoo. I live in Northumberland but work most of the time in Newcastle when I'm not travelling. Thanks for your note about my choc energ…

  • Soaking times chart: http://www.raw-food-living.com/soaking-nuts.html Sypita. I often don't bother soaking my nuts, so it is not that bad. Just depends on how well your digestion can cope.

  • Nuts and seeds naturally contain enzyme inhibitors. By soaking them, you not only release the toxic enzyme inhibitors, but also increase the life and vitality contained within them. The soak water will contain the enzyme inhibitors, and is very acid…
