carolg,
try ordering your dulse from goldmine natural foods company. they are a large macrobiotic company located in california that has a great catalogue. they may have bulk dulse.
another possibility is to place a large order for a case of dulse packages from your local Whole Foods Market. they discount 10% for all case orders.
you might also want to try scouting around your neighborho

i personally love a soaked and strained hijiki salad mixed with a rich sesame tahini dressing - raw tahini/sesame oil/garlic/nama shoyu. I toss in some chopped cucumber and cherry tomatoes and sometimes top it off with a few raw cashews or sunflower seeds as well. it's a great salad. hijiki really lends itself well to the flavors of sesame.
another favorite is mixing the hijiki with a cashew &

hey james.
crumbly could mean that you spread it too thin, but my guess is that the crust didn't have enough dates to stick the whole thing together well.
california dates are notoriously dry and medjool dates are moist and tacky. if you use drier dates in recipes its sometimes helpful to soak them in some room temperature water for a while to soften them. the water will also lend itself t

The Raw Gourmet by Nomi Shannon is to me the best raw cookbook by far. More raw chefs I know used her book as a primer for jumping off from than any other raw cookbook. It's got clean recipes, easy to understand instructions,colorful pictures, no use of questionable food items like cacao or agave or excessive use of coconut oil, and they can be enjoyed every day without getting you ill.

if you are interested in making a raw fruit "ice cream" with a texture like a creamy sorbet, I have had success using a food processor when I was too tired to be bothered with my Champion.
To start, you place solidly frozen fruits into your food processor like bananas or blueberries and grind away. Slowly drizzle in a few tablespoons of water a little at a time till the fro

Vasana,
Depending on the recipe you are trying to create, you can often use a food processor and grind your food really well with it instead of using a Champion with the blank. The texture will not be the same as with a Champion, but it will be similar and you will get a close enough mouth-feel though not as creamy.
The Champion blank is irreplaceable however when trying to make raw

I just noticed Natalia Rose didn't specify ground *or* rubbed in her ingredient list.
*But*, it's my culinary experience that unless a chef specifically wants you to use Rubbed Sage, the sage to buy and use is GROUND SAGE. It's the most common.
Chefs will write in the words "rubbed" when they need you to use it because it's so unique.
peace....

if a recipe says use "ground sage" you get ground sage.
if a recipe says use "rubbed sage" you get rubbed sage.
for the ranch dressing recipe you want to make - buy some *ground sage* since that's what the author specifically mentioned.
happy creating!

oh, btw...ground sage is different from rubbed because of its texture. If a chef specifies "ground" you want to get "ground sage", not the rubbed kind. Another shopping trip may be in order to get the right flavor of the salad dressing.
The measurements of spices in recipes vary depending on the texture and taste of the spice. Rubbed sage, if I'm not mistaken, is lighter i

hey there moonie.
all recipes, whether cooked or raw, will specify "dried" or "fresh" herbs in their ingredient list. Dried herbs and spices are the ones you buy in bottles and pick up in the spice isle or baking supplies isle in grocery stores like Wal-Mart and Whole Foods. They can be organic or non- organic and they often have pale or muted colors. They are super conven

Sprouted and/or soaked raw Buckwheat and Quinoa and Oat Groats are some of the ways my community of Raw friends incude non-sweet carbs in their diet.
If you eat grains, they are a great way to go in terms of energy if you won't eat fruits or dried fruits. There are many ways to do a living-food diet and you need to see what combination of things works and makes sense for you and your personal

If your doctor has checked your B12 levels with a blood test and your numbers are in the 650+ range, as a vegan you ought to start taking good high potency sublingual B12 tablets NOW and consider them for life.

After 11 years as a vegan and 4+ years as both a high raw and a 100% raw vegan, my body became extremely B12 deficient. Your liver only holds stored B12 for 7 years. Afterwards you're on your own. Chlorella, spirulina, greens, whatever I ate was not enough to bring my B12 into healthy levels and suffred as a consequence.
I now regularly take vitamin B12 injections ( 2x monthly, used to be ever

For electrolyte imbalance try adding Celtic Sea Salt to water. Probably about a teaspoon or two per cup. Shake and drink.
My own doctor recomended this for me when I was nearly passing out from heat during exercise.
For running protein needs, I'd highly recommend a high quality protein powder. Try adding raw hemp protein shakes to your diet, or if you are still transitioning you may want

Mona,
Just a thought...
Most traditional cultures have cuisines that only seem as if everything is starch based and fried. This usually came about after colonization by some conquering country that brought their bad eating habits with them and introduced it to the community ( think Native Hawaians, Native American, etc.) Most countries have a cuisine that is very natural, clean, and non-fried

Mona,
While you may want to teach a 100% raw food class, when dealing with the public who lives on traditional foods and never was introduced to the ideas, you may want to consider teaching transitional raw menus instead. Include some cooked and lots of raw items to eat. I would teach about the value of a high raw diet and how to incorporate raw food into every day vegetarian dishes or meals.

There are a few raw restaurants who sell 100% raw bread that tastes really "bready" made from sprouted kamut or rye or buckwheat. Rawvolution by Matt Amsden in California sells raw bread at his restaurant and he also ships raw food. Quintessence Restaurant in NYC also makes good raw bread too and they do mail order as well.

how 'bout a refreshing salad?
a light juicy salad made with:
chopped romaine lettuce, alfalfa sprouts, diced cucumbers, diced red bell peppers,shredded carrots. Olive oil, celtic sea salt drizzled on top. No tomatoes.
Add sprouted soaked grains (either dehydrated after soaking or eaten wet) for extra carb energy to get you going. Buckwheat groats is my suggestion.

Paul Nison is a major force in the raw and live food lecture scene and a devout and preaching Christian. You may want to look up his web site and email or call him. From the few encounters I had with him a number of years back, I'm certain he'd be happy to speak with you and support you on how to address your relatives as a Christian live food path.
Hallelujah Acres is another good resource.

Hi.
I agree with Jodi about connecting with local farmer's markets in your area.
In the event that they do not carry 100% organic produce or that their organic prices are too high for your budget, keep in mind that the small farmer's conventionally grown fruits and veggies are considerably more "alive" than your regular supermarket varieties of fruits and veggies. Fruits and veggi

Drinking wheatgrass juice and lots of dandelion juice has been incredibly cleansing without my needing to take any particular packaged detox program packs. Wheatgrass is an all over blood purifier and cleanser for the body and dandelion is one of the best, if not the best leafy green for super great liver detoxification.
