According to the critics, SAF is THE raw food restaurant to go to in London. Well – to be fair – there are only three but that doesn’t mean it isn’t sensational and doesn’t give every mainstream restaurant in town a run for its money. It’s not raw food as you know it and if I can’t [...]

Raw Winter Rainbow Salad

Eating organic, local and seasonal fruit and veggies is not a trifecta win set aside for the fortunate few on the countryside acres, those with super-sized roof tops or allotment lottery winners. While supermarkets stock their daikon from Thailand and avocados from Cuba, right now, at my local markets in Portobello, with Winter dragging on, [...]
How does Wikipedia define a raw foodist?
Posted in Raw food news, tagged hypocrite, raw foodist, rawism, veganism, vegetarianism, wikipedia on March 24, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I always go to Wikipedia for a matter of fact opinion/view of the world. And so I thought it would be interesting to read a matter of fact description of a raw foodist. According to them (whoever ‘they’ are), raw foodism (or rawism) is a lifestyle promoting the consumption of un-cooked, un-processed, and often organic foods as [...]
Raw Porridge is the Ultimate Comfort Food

I used to love porridge the way my Mum makes it; boiled for a long time in warm, sugary, full cream milk and honey, with a blob of salty melting butter and dash of cinnamon on the top. As incredible as it is – it is a total no go in terms of maintaining a [...]
Where is the Raw Food in Tignes?

Raw food is everywhere in the Savoyarde region of the French Alps, but your willpower will have to work its pants off to ignore the gooey, cheesey, dreamy, creamy, heaven-sent dauphinoises, fondues, raclettes and tartiflettes. Not to mention the tarte tatins the size of tractor tyres and the mountains of fresh pain au chocolats, eclairs and mille feuilles [...]
Is water raw?

Having yet another debate with my carnivorous friends about the point of a raw fruit and vegetable diet, I was asked what seemed to be a ridiculous question. Is water raw? My answer was immediately a resounding ‘yes’, however, rather annoyingly, my research could be interpreted to suggest otherwise. Raw water is defined as the [...]
From Nursing Times: Nutrition is essentially a very simple thing
Posted in Raw food news, tagged eggs, healthcare, Mark Radcliffe, Nursing Times, nutrition, nutritionists, plants on March 9, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Mark Radcliffe writes about kebabs, Viennese whirls and why nutrition is simply common sense. Now, I don’t have anything against nutritionists and I don’t mind omega-3 but, as healthcare professionals, shouldn’t we be cautious of intervening too much? Nutrition is fundamentally a simple thing, summed up wonderfully by the American writer and campaigner Michael Pollan: [...]
Raw Food Dover Calais Ferry Trip
Posted in Raw restaurant reviews, Raw travel diary, tagged apple, banana, clementine, Langan's Brasserie, P&O Ferry, raw food on March 3, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I was pleasantly surprised that there was any raw food available in the ‘international food court’ on a P&O Ferry crossing the Channel at midnight. However the trio of a banana, a clementine/orange and an apple was the extent of it. And at £3.50 for the three, it’s no wonder that every average punter, was [...]
