As the temperature rises, our kitchen becomes cooler since we prepare more raw dishes and less hot ones. The one thing I have against raw food is the names. Pictured above is a raw "spaghetti" we ate last week. It was delicious, but I made the mistake of calling it "raw spaghetti" to my family. They in turn expected a warm, noodley dish with melting Parmesan on top instead of the cold zucchini "noodles" swimming in puréed fresh tomato sauce. There probably would have been more chance of it being eaten without protest if I had called it Saucy Grates or something like that. So when I made the raw strawberry shortcake, I just called it strawberry crumble and everyone ate it up. Just keep it in mind to rename raw dishes if you plant to serve it to your family is all I'm sayin'.

ReplyDeleteI totally agree about renaming raw recipes, makes all the difference sometimes!
ReplyDeleteDo you use lecithin in the raw strawberry shortcake? I'm kinda confused on this one....I always thought it was a big no-no in the Nourishing Traditions world but recently I have been hearing of people using it (particularly the sunflower lecithin).
ReplyDeleteI don't use lecithin. I'm going to use real raw dairy cream instead of the one used in the strawberry shortcake recipe. :)
ReplyDeleteThe plan for a week looks very good, love to try some of the meals and dishes you wrote about
