Magically Mysteriously Mouth-Watering

-

I just received my copy of Meredith Frantz's awesome new e-uncookbook the "Magically Mysterious Raw Recipe Book", have you?

If you don't have one, I definitely suggest you get a copy! Featuring 27 of Meredith's yummiest recipes for the affordable price of $13.99, the book is beautifully put together with colorful and mouth-watering photos on every page (and a printer friendly version attached too for your convenience). It also includes tips and tricks to help you along the raw food diet.

Meredith has been an incredible inspiration to me on my raw food journey. I randomly found her blog, the Raw Seed, almost a year ago now, when she was coaching Rebecca Troutman through her own transition to the raw food lifestyle (her story can be found at Project Raw). Seeing how much Meredith just seemed to glow with happiness and energy from her choices, I knew she was someone I had to talk to to figure out my own 'whys and hows' of why I too should change my life to raw foods. I gotta say, she was one of my main motivators in convincing me to just go for it. Don't know if I would have made the leap without her as brief as our emails to each other were! (Without her, we also would not have found all those great raw hideouts in PA last week).

Why by this book? Because the recipes look amazing, and your tummy will be happier for it.

Other reasons? Meredith and her hubby, Dustin, just bought a 44 passenger school bus they are looking to convert into a green mobile home. Their plan is to install wind power, solar power, and a veggie-fueled engine on this magical bus which they will then use to spread their raw-food, creative, holistic wellness awesomess all across the country. Obviously, this costs money, don't you want to help them out?

Need more convincing? I'll be working my way through these recipes over the next couple weeks so if you're holding out for any reason, stay tuned to my pics and reviews!

Why Cooking is like Piracy

WARNING : Recipes are like the Pirate Code, they’re just guidelines I find exact proportions in cooking totally overrated. I love the way old medieval recipes were written: they just listed ingredients and then gave you a rough idea of how to assemble them. I admire the confidence that old recipes required that you have in the kitchen, the ‘just wing it’ attitude that compels you to trust your ability as a cook. Consider this awesome fourteenth century recipe for apple pie from The Forme of Cury compiled in 1390 by the master cooks of King Richard III: XXVII For to make Tartys in Applis “Tak gode Applys and gode Spycis and Figys and resons and Perys and wan they are wel ybrayed colourd with Safron wel and do yt in a cofyn and yt forth to bake wel.” In other words, mix together apples, pears, raisins, figs and spices—probably cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves and saffron—mix and put it in a pieshell, the ‘cofyn’, and bake. That’s it! Seems very low maintenance, doesn’t it? It

Eat: Turmeric Milk, the perfect night time relaxant

Oh, turmeric, you and your majestic golden hues, how you warm my nights and allow me to fall peacefully asleep, dreaming of warm humid summer nights, candles, and sequinned baldaquins... too much detail? I discovered turmeric milk thanks to my friend Kristen, who has been using it as a pre-bedtime sedative for quite some time. As someone who often has trouble sleeping, I was skeptical. As much as I love chamomile, lavender, and all the usual tricks, they haven't always worked for me. I've heard of the whole "drink a glass of warm milk before bed" idea but never tried it myself, thinking such a thing would be too heavy before bed. Yet, this new concoction won its way to my heart. Clever, turmeric, you. Turmeric, the beautiful orange spice from India, is from the ginger family. (Go figure, I love  ginger.) Ayuverda and TCM boast that turmeric is anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, and helps deal with internal and external infections. Doctors have more recently fo
