Raw Food Love

Well hello there I hope you’re all having a good week and are looking forward to some fun weekend plans. I’m glad I’ve found myself sitting down to write a post today- I’ve been struggling with bloggers block. Plenty to say but no way to say it!

I’ll start what will hopefully be the first of many posts, with a little peek into my quirky kitchen. As you may know from my previous posts/blog, I originally started blogging so I could share my raw vegan creations with you, along with their role in my ED recovery.
Not only has raw food helped me immensely on my recovery journey but it has helped me to feel inspired again by food in general. One of the most exciting things about visiting NYC with Nicky was having the chance to sample the city’s raw delights. We toasted to my grandma in the Caravan of Dreams, had dessert in Pure Food and Wine and got takeaway treats from One Lucky Duck….happy times with a special friend

Nowadays raw food has found it’s rightful place in my diet. Most of the fruit and veg I eat is raw (unless I’m having a good old roast, of course) and one of my favourite pastimes is creating new raw treats in the kitchen.

This week has been a biscotti and chocolate week

Cherry-pistachio Biscotti
-1/3 cup dried cherries
-1/3 cup crushed pistachios
-100g ground almonds
-pinch cinnamon
-pinch nutmeg
-juice of half a lemon
Mix all the ingredients together into a paste and then press onto your dehydrator tray in your chosen shape. Dehydrate for 6hours or until the biscotti is to your desired crunchiness

These go well with a big mug of green tea in the afternoon or a good old mug o’ joe
