Morocco might be famous for tagines, couscous and pigeon briouats and I was fully prepared to deviate from raw on my recent trip to Marrakech but I was over the moon to find a magical treasure trove of raw delights. Surrounding snake charmers, witch doctors, African drummers, dancers, story tellers, fortune tellers and hawkers selling [...]

796* raw foodists in Czech Republic
Posted in Raw travel diary, tagged czech republic, prague raw food, raw food, vegetarians, world vegetarian day on September 25, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
I was in beautiful Prague for work last week, which sounds exciting but sadly I had just the one opportunity to leave the office, eat out and test a typical Czech restaurant menu for ‘raw food’. The menu at this particular beer-based ‘restaurant’ was more of a manual of ‘how to eat meat with meat with [...]
Wall St Journal: Raw-Food Movement Pushes Deeper Into New York City

I’ve seen a huge rise in hits on my blog in the last six months so am therefore well aware of the raw food revolution’s rise in momentum worldwide. Sumathi Reddy writes this great piece about the very wave of raw food love washing across the US in the Wall St Journal on Monday 1 August [...]
Raw Thai street food

It’s easy to be raw on the streets of Bangkok. Mashed against and tangled between walls and curbs of both the tiniest windiest alleyways and the most overwhelming motorways are its many raw street food vendors. If you can turn your head away from the deep frying chicken, tripe, insects and fish balls, amongst the [...]
Diary of a fasting hypocrite

I’m typing this up on day nine of my fast. It’s my last day so please excuse the potential lack of lucidity. I knew it was time to break when a woman eating her fermented cabbage salad changed tables to avoid my obsessive stares. Day 1 Mood: excited healing crises (physical symptoms of detoxing) – [...]
Fasting for the fast lane

I’m back in Thailand at Spa Samui detox ‘spa’ and 7 days into my fifth annual fast. Spa Samui is by no means glamorous but it is by far, for me anyway, the most effective and most relaxing (thanks to Thai culture), reasonably priced detox spa I can find. It also has, as they describe, [...]
from the Guardian: Day of the lentil burhgers: Ghent goes veggie to lose weight and save planet
Posted in Raw food news, Raw travel diary, tagged Belegian food, Ghent, raw food in Belgium, vegetarian, vegetarian restaurants in Ghent, vegetarian thursday on May 15, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Prior to spending the weekend in the beautiful Flemish town of Ghent, my understanding of a Belgian menu extended the short distance from moules and frites to chocolate. And so I traipsed to Belgium fully armed with raw fruit balls, raw spinach pesto, a pineapple(??), and ingredients for a raw mango salsa. It was a complete waste of time and bag-carrying energy. Ghent may not have [...]

Travelling raw can be tough and knowing the limitations of Eurostar, I made a few snacks to fill the five of us on our way to Belgium. Thankfully these raw fruit balls satisfied all of us on the 2 hr journey, including my potentially toughest critic, 1yr old, 2-toothed Hunter. Phew. The ingredients 1 big grated [...]
Raw Food on Eurostar

Compared to carbon-greedy airlines, Eurostar has always struck me as a relatively progressive and eco-friendly brand. So when my friends and I booked our trip to Belgium I was sure they would have healthy food for both someone like me who can easily dabble in cooked food if they have to and someone much nicer who eats raw food [...]
