You wouldn’t suspect it to look at her, but Brenda Hinton has a few surprises up her shirt sleeves. That German chocolate cake of hers for instance — the one with the velvety chocolate frosting and light-as-air layers that she made last week for her 30th wedding anniversary — well it wasn’t baked in an oven. Nor was it made with refined sugar, refined wheat flour or traditional dairy products. But it does have zucchini as an ingredient. And the creamy chocolate mousse? It owes its color to cocao powder, its texture to avocado and its sweetness to agave. And so it goes. This week Hinton is introducing a group of Japanese visitors to the mysteries of raw food in general and raw desserts in particular.

Ahh … it’s that time of year again—summer! And what better way to celebrate then to enjoy some delicious, healthy raw food? We just got home from the Monday farmers’ market in Los Osos and purchased some locally grown yummy produce. Our hungry bellies were calling so I decided to create one of our favorite fresh soup recipes to satisfy and nourish our souls: chilled avocado-cucumber soup. Serve this soup in a bowl with some flax crackers and a nice big glass of coconut water to drink. Hope you enjoy! |

Hi everyone! Jim here with a really special treat for you today. I’m interviewing our friend Joe Prostko, who we’ve known for a good year or so through the Pittsburgh raw food meetup group. You may remember Joe from our cacao pod video a while back.
We just had a big raw food potluck costume party here, and Joe showed up as an Oompa-Loompa. At first, I admittedly did not get the deeper part of this joke. I simply thought it was a novel costume because it was a character from the Willie Wonka book / movie. Later, however, it really sunk in, as I decided to flip through the Willie Wonka book to read up on Oompa-Loompas. Here’s a quote from Willie Wonka author Roald Dahl: |

Philip McCluskey, Author of Three Books, Talks About His Weight-Loss Journey at Catch a Healthy Habit Cafe on Unquowa Road in Fairfield. Philip McCluskey wasn't the healthiest person a few years ago. McCluskey, who spoke Thursday evening in Catch a Healthy Habit Cafe on Unquowa Road, said he weighed 400 pounds, consumed 6,000 to 8,000 calories a day and was wiped out after walking up a flight of stairs. He said he couldn't look people in the eye because he lacked confidence and that his weight "led to depression, sadness and no zest for life." McCluskey said he'd tried more than 30 different diets and was on the verge of undergoing gastric bypass surgery when he decided against it. "At the very last minute, something inside me said, 'No, that's not the right way to go,' " McCluskey said. |

Bestselling Raw Cookbook Author Ani Phyo Talks to HBD About the Freshmen 15, Raw Misconceptions and Smart Shopping
It was only a decade ago that a raw foodie was considered theodd man out. From another planet, even. The idea of someone who didn’t mess with meat, sugar or a stove was a bit wacky to your average Joe.
Nowadays, we like to call those freaks of nature … cool. |
