Summer
Color has exploded
everywhere the eye can see;
Summer is smiling down on us
wherever we may be.
Gentle breezes, refreshing rain,
and the dancing sun take part
In giving earth the summer touch -
tonic for the heart.*

You're Rawsome,
- Alex Malinsky

New Raw Food Interviews with Carol Alt, Breatharian Marcos and Kate Wood


Can you describe a typical day in your life?

Well, see... I don't have typical days. I travel, I'm in different countries, different cities, different studios everyday. Sometimes when I go to studios they will ask me what I want ahead of time and they will order raw food for me and I will tell them what I want. Sometimes people panic and they say I'll take you...

Where do you get your nourishment (minerals, vitamins, protein...) How are you still alive?

This is one of those crucial questions involving breatharianism. When the
physical body frees itself from the need to obtain stimulus from food, its natural ability to obtain its nourishment directly from natural sources is reactivated.

How do you come up with a recipe?

The best ones are spontaneous, divine inspiration. If something’s good then I’ll write it down, then make it at least three times, usually more, to perfect it before I publish it. A good recipe has to be replicable, you can make it over and over again and it always works.

1 teaspoon purple corn extract

Toby Roamed by Shazzie

1/2 cup of cacao nibs
1/4 cup of raw carob powder
1 dessertspoon of Pure Synergy
1/4 cup of raw agave nectar
1 teaspoon of Blue Manna powder
1 teaspoon of maca
2 dessertspoons of coconut oil
1/2 cup of cashew nuts

Oooh, this is so much like that triangular chocolate that we all love. Er, except this one's got masses of brain food in it.

Grind the cacao nibs into a fine powder. Grind the cashew nuts into a fine powder. Grate the white cacao butter and add to a bowl. Pour some warm water into another bowl and sit the bowl with the butter in into this bowl. Don't get water into your cacao butter. Wait until the butter has melted, and then add the other ingredients. Stir very well and then pour it into any pretty moulds.

But there is one significant difference. All the food laid before mum Jatinder, husband Derek and their three children, Raman, 17, Priyanka, 13, and seven-year-old Mohan is raw.

April 21, 2006 - For Earth Day ABC7's Hungry Hound gets in touch with nature by exploring the raw food movement, a diet and lifestyle that requires zero cooking. The living food movement has been taking off in California the past few years, but even Chicago's own Charlie Trotter co-authored a raw food cookbook a few years ago. It's perfect for vegetarians and vegans at one North Side restaurant, it has literally transformed one chef's outlook on eating.
