The strawberry and coconut macaroons I made in my dehydrator the other day didn’t last long, so it was time to make the other recipe in Ani’s Raw Food Desserts that had caught my eye. My cheapy food processor chopped the dry cashews okay but it didn’t like the bananasContinue Reading
While I was thinking about what next to make in my dehydrator, I remembered I had a copy of Ani’s Raw Food Desserts and remembered that the reason I’ve never taken much notice of raw food ‘cook’books in the past was because a lot of the recipes needed a dehydrator.Continue Reading

There are so many gorgeous-sounding (and looking – they’re all accompanied by a photo) recipes, such as creamy spinach curry with tofu paneer, sweet potato and greens burger, and shaved asparagus and roastedContinue Reading
