3 Hello Thank you for joining me here. If you are looking for some inspiration to help shape your week into one that is more deliciously raw, then I hope that these recipes will extend your culinary canon and become a regular feature in your repertoire. Some of these recipes might sound like the sort of thing that someone else makes, but you really don t need much experience or fancy equipment in the kitchen department to be able to make these. In fact, I love the fact that there is no cooking involved which in my experience makes these recipes a lot more likely to succeed. Please feel free to bring your own character to each of the recipes.. a handful of goji berries soaked in orange juice with some chopped ripe pear added to the coronation kale, or some seasonal fruits on the vanilla cheesecake, or luscious raspberries at the bottom of the chocolate mousse. Whatever you choose to make, being creative in the kitchen can help to transform your food from the everyday raw to the extraordinary and therefore you are more likely to keep on track. If you like these recipes, you might like to glance towards the back of this ebook to see what else is on offer. Deliciously yours, Deliciously Raw 03

4 THE RECIPES

5 The Delicious Green I just love green juices they are guaranteed to put a spring in your step and a glow on your face. This one is a classic.

8 Hot Schokolade When it gets to Thursday, I m generally ready for a little bit of indulgence. This raw hot chocolate is so rich, thick and creamy that you could almost think it could be in one of those little cafes in Switzerland. Free from cream, dairy and sugar so it s a perfect healthy treat. Yield: 1-2 servings Time: 10 minutes TIP I always feel a little bit more comforted if I warm the mug first. It gives the feeling of a hot drink and makes it feel even more indulgent. 3 cups almond milk ½ cup cacao powder 1 tbsp agave or maple syrup (to taste) 1 tbsp of ground mesquite 1 tsp vanilla A pinch of cinnamon 4 tbsps grated cacao butter, melted 1. Warm the almond milk in a saucepan. 2. Add the cacao powder, sweetener, mesquite, vanilla and cinnamon and stir until well combined. 3.

9 Spicy Dressing THANK GOODNESS IT S FRIDAY By the time it gets to Friday evening, all I want to do is relax and not spend too much time in the kitchen and this recipe hits the spot perfectly. It works well poured over red cabbage and broccoli providing the mouth-watering feel of eating a stir fry but with a lot more freshness. It is also a very useful dressing to serve over steamed veggies, if the rest of the family are eating cooked. It is delicious with steamed rice too. Yield: 5-6 Effort: Easy Time: 5 minutes TIP This will keep in the fridge for two days if covered. 6 tbsp tamari 2 tbsp sesame oil 1 2 tablespoons agave 3 tbsp lime juice 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated 1 spring onion, chopped 1 small red chilli, minced In a jam jar (mason jar), shake all the ingredients together until well combined.
