You take some macadamia nuts, and you take some lemon juice... The macadamia nut dip is the one on the left. I garnished them all with green onions and did a little design with a spoon to make it look a bit fancy, but the recipe -- very, very simple. Lemon and macadamia nuts … [Read more...] about Raw Macadamia Nut Ricotta

“Raw” Granola: Dried Apricot, Almonds, Sunflower Seeds, Sprouted Oat Groats Sweetened with Date Paste
This recipe sprouts for 1 day, soaks for one hour, takes 30 minutes to prep and then 2/3rds of another day to dehydrate. Why would anyone got to the trouble of making this? Well, I'm a sucker for recipes that end with the instruction to "enjoy", and I suck at "real" (sugar … [Read more...] about “Raw” Granola: Dried Apricot, Almonds, Sunflower Seeds, Sprouted Oat Groats Sweetened with Date Paste
One of the Strangest Things I Ever Made: Dehydrated Butternut Squash
Starts like this: Turns into this: Then turns into this: Weird, huh? Yeah, I thought so too. So you take a butternut squash, peel it, cube it (1-inch cubes), soak the cubes for 8 hours in cold water (or overnight), drain, put them on a baking sheet, and stick it in the oven … [Read more...] about One of the Strangest Things I Ever Made: Dehydrated Butternut Squash
Pauper’s “Raw” Sun-dried Tomato Pesto and Life-Lemon Juice at Chez Snips, Part 2
I ran out of lemon juice, but I doubt that jives metaphorically with life not giving me lemons anymore. My point is that there was plenty of "life-giving-me-lemon"-juice left over after I made a pound and a half of roasted jerusalem artichokes, and plenty of free time. What do … [Read more...] about Pauper’s “Raw” Sun-dried Tomato Pesto and Life-Lemon Juice at Chez Snips, Part 2
Oven-Dried Tomatoes
So I figured I'd missed the Montreal "sun-drying" opportunity. Fortunately I've been dehydrating like mad and feel very comfortable with my oven door slightly ajar. When I bought expensive tomatoes from my farmer John to make sauce he told me not to make. He said they're too … [Read more...] about Oven-Dried Tomatoes
“Raw” Zucchini Noodle Pasta With Sun-Dried Tomato Spinach Cashew Sauce
I wanted to make zucchini noodles. It's basically impossible to find Quebec organic zucchini now. The season is over. If you see them it's unnatural, and it reminds me of strawberries in December (not jam), but I bought them anyway because I wanted to make zucchini noodles, and I … [Read more...] about “Raw” Zucchini Noodle Pasta With Sun-Dried Tomato Spinach Cashew Sauce
A New Farmers’ Market: Almost “Raw” Banana Cream Pie
You might think I'd be getting farmers' market-ed out by this point. How can I keep up my frenetic pace of purchasing fresh produce? Well, it's not like I buy a week's worth of groceries everywhere I go. I buy one or two items, and only what I need for specific recipes I have … [Read more...] about A New Farmers’ Market: Almost “Raw” Banana Cream Pie
Dehydrating Things…
I kind of love the idea of taking a whole head of something green and easily turning it into something deliciously snack-able. I decided to try more dehydrating since it was so easy and I never otherwise eat chips. Back to "Making Love In The Kitchen" from the National Post, from … [Read more...] about Dehydrating Things…
My Second “Raw” Dessert Recipe (Sort Of): Orange Chocolate Cheesecake
So I thought this was my first "raw" recipe (not including salads and raw vegetables, of course), but then I remembered my raw chocolate mousse made from avocado, cocoa powder, lemon juice, agave nectar, sea salt, and shoya shoju (I think it's called)...but I did cheat and use … [Read more...] about My Second “Raw” Dessert Recipe (Sort Of): Orange Chocolate Cheesecake
