Joined October 19, 2008<p>I live in Belgium with my cats, bunnies and dude.</p> <p>I have been a vegetarian since aprox. 8 years, since I was around 15-16 years old (ad I am 23 now) it’s something I had wanted for quite some time. I’m still eating eggs and cheese, so I am not really vegan, but I am very interested in Raw food, and have been experimenting with it, a few months ago I first tried a broccoli soup (wich didn’t really impress me, but it was okay) and a strawberry short pie (wich was rather good!), since a month I have been trying a few recipes such as oat yoghurt, raw chocolate, raw granola (chocolate granola with oat yoghurt or soyamilk is quite good!), raw flax crackers, raw tu-NO salad, green smoothies, raw soup of butternut and things like that. It does take some getting used to, it’s hard for me to find everything raw, and I find nuts such as almonds are expensive, but I guess if you’re 100% raw, that price is compensated by the things you don’t buy when you are raw.</p> <p>The funny thing is I made the granola without a dehydrator or oven (can’t really afford a dehydrator) I just put the recipient near and on the central heating.. It worked really great, I have half sprouted buckwheat (as soon as I saw even the slightest millimeter of a tail, I put them to dry) that way and dried the whole granola that way, and they did get a little crunchy, and I’m pretty sure the heat doesn’t go above 21°C, surely not above 40°C, so it stays raw :)</p> <p>I don’t know if I’ll ever be 100% raw; I take it easy, I experiment and I enjoy.</p>
