I’m planning to embark on a new culinary journey. One that creates tasty eats without heat. In the middle of winter! Am I crazy?
I don’t think so, but that’s probably best for others to decide. Maybe I’m bored with my green smoothie routine and want to add a little more excitement – not that smoothies aren’t tremendously exciting by themselves, they are.
Actually, I think it has more to do with curiosity. I keep coming across Raw Food references describing the health benefits of cooking without heat. So, on Monday, the adventure begins. First, however, let me set the record straight, I am not looking to convert the family to becoming 100% Raw Foodists any more than we are only partial vegetarians now (is that possible?). My goal here is adding culinary variety to our diet while also enjoying additional health benefits. I also want to be realistic, affordable, and sustainable in our shopping choices.
Before I dive in, however, there’s some reading, planning, preparation (and grocery shopping) needed. Feel free to follow along on my adventure. Cheer me on, send me your favorite salad recipe, or just kindly let me know if I’ve gone off the deep end
