…make raw croutons!!
I went on a juice fast for a few days ( well it didn’t last that long…) and I was making humongous amounts of juice. I am sure that anyone that makes a lot of their own juice wonder what to do with all the leftover pulp. It is really [...]
This recipe is inspired and adapted from Matthew Kenney’s new cookbook, “Every Day Raw Desserts”. I got his book back when I was in Oklahoma studying in his academy and I have to say that cookbook is an amazing resource for delicious homemade raw desserts. I was particularly drawn to a recipe in [...]
Papaya and oats…Sounds odd?
Oats need no introduction…Papaya is a very powerful medicinal fruit with many health benefits, amongst them being that it helps with digestive issues. It is high in papain, an enzyme that aids the digestion of proteins.
I just made this oatmeal for breakfast [...]
It’s Brussels sprout season! Ok maybe not everyone finds these news as exciting as I do…But I happen to really love Brussels sprouts. I like the way they look, like tiny little cabbage balls-which is actually what they are, anyway! Also they have strong anti-cancer properties, like their cousin Mr.Broccoli.
So many people [...]
No recipes for a while…traveling with friends, cooking for friends and playing with friends
Right now I am in Spain, with OmShanti family crew. They are organising a huge yoga conference in Barcelona this summer. To learn more about it, go to the Barcelona Yoga Conference website where you can see [...]
After a long stay in the States, I got back home and just realized that Christmas and New Year is JUST around the corner! Wow. That was fast. I also realized how much I have neglected my blog lately-it has been hard to keep up with updating while traveling. So what have I been doing the [...]

I really wanted to do a post about sprouts the last few days. While grocery shopping at organic stores in New York, I realized how readily available sprouts are around here. You can get almost any type of sprout, ready to eat. From the typical alfa alfa sprouts to broccoli sprouts and everything in between. Although [...]
It’s been 4 days now since I graduated Level 1 of my training at 105 degrees Academy. Out of this course, all  7 us us came out as certified raw chefs. I like this, it’s kind of cool to think that the raw food chef community is growing. I like it, because it also means that [...]
Isn’t this the biggest eggplant you have ever seen??
Another week in 105 Academy has gone by… so what happened the past few days? we did a lot of fermenting : we made nut cheese, coconut yogurt and kefir( blah!). Â We also made tofu, eggplant bacon, coconut bacon,granola, cookies, gorgeous savory & sweet crepes (which I accidently [...]
The second week of my chef training at 105 Degrees Academy is over. 2 more weeks to go.
So this week was all about working with raw flours, making various breads, wraps, crackers and of course chocolate ( chocolate is part of every week, which is okay with me!!)
I have to confess that I am not a [...]
This week has been quite easy, but we did a lot of things :
We opened a lot of coconuts, chopped a lot of veggies, tempered chocolate, worked with seaweed, made ice cream, nut milk, smoothies, spiralized veggies, segmented oranges and of course soaked nuts! Oh and we even went on a road trip to Rush Springs [...]
After a very long flight, a missed connection flight, a night at a creepy crappy hotel room and a lot of waiting around on stand by at various gates, I finally managed to get to Oklahoma. Why the hell am I in Oklahoma? (as the man in the passport control asked me in a severe [...]
Seriously, why are cupcakes so cute? They have some serious photogenic skills going on! I mean, look at them. I seriously believe they are better to look at than to eat. Don’t get me wrong-I love cake, I’m just not a fan of all that frosting piled up there. I guess I’m more of a muffin [...]
Sea Spaghetti. It sounds weird, I know. I like weird. If you like seaweed, you will love this recipe. If you hate pasta, you will probably like this recipe. If you love spaghetti you will might like this dish. Now if you love pasta and hate seaweed…you will probably hate it!
I happen to fall into the [...]
In England, flapjacks are all over the place. It’s like the Greek pasteli or something.When I was studying in London flapjacks where an essential(!) part of my diet. One of those little fuckers can keep you full for hours, days even-okay maybe I’m exaggerating, but it is definitely possible. That’s why it was a cheap solution. [...]
