Raw Grasshopper Pie
Grasshopper Pie is an American favourite, using Oreo cookies for the crust with a mint cream filling. While I’ve never had the original version I’ve always liked the sound of it so I came up with this raw recipe. Not only is it free of all the bad stuff like refined sugar and flour, it’s…
Pomegranate & Fennel Salad
Pomegranate always makes for an impressive addition to any dish when you have guests. These beautiful little ruby-like jewels are bursting with flavour and packed with health. Over 8000 years ago they became one of the first cultivated fruits, and ever since have been a symbol of prosperity and abundance in many cultures. They are…
Spicy Kale Chips
This is a variation of my regular Raw Kale Chips. By adding dried onion and tamari you get more of an umami flavour and the cumin seeds give them a middle eastern twist. Healthy snacking! Ingredients 150 – 200g kale leaves, weighed once you have removed the tough centre stem 70g raw cashews 45ml fresh lemon…

Chocolate & Coconut Puffed Rice Cakes

I really love coconut – coconut cream, coconut milk, coconut water, coconut oil, desiccated coconut; anything coconut! – and…

Peanut Butter & Chocolate Mousse Mini Pies
These are a bit of a strange invention, I have to say! But they’re pretty decadent and yummy and I was totally happy with the outcome 🙂 You will need to prepare the day before by soaking the cashews overnight, putting the top layer of peanut butter in the fridge and putting the coconut cream…
Broccoli & Pea Buckwheat Pasta
