Summer Favorite Easy Raw Dessert Recipes

Gail Ingram Photography

I started thinking about how I might create my own summery and easy raw dessert recipes after getting hooked on the mint “ice cream” sundae at my favorite local raw foods restaurant, Christopher’s Kitchen, a few months back. I had never heard of a raw ice cream sundae and was sort of wondering what it [...]

Raw Gourmet at Christopher’s Kitchen (Video Interview)

Superfood Smoothie

I was out with my mom and cousin the other day and talking up the new raw gourmet restaurant, Christopher’s Kitchen, that recently opened in the Legends shopping center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. “Raw gourmet?” I could tell my mom and cousin were a little suspicious. “What do they serve there? Is it just [...]

Easy Raw Gourmet: Herbed Green Goddess Dressing

Green Goddess Dressing with Fresh Herbs

If you read my recent article about raw food benefits you’ll see why I’ve been trying to eat more raw foods these days (and no, I’m not a vegan nor a raw foodie, but I do try to weave in elements of a plant based raw eating diet into my own diet.) Because I love [...]

Our Vegetarian Dinner Party: The Menu, Recipes & Video

Roasted Red Pepper Tomato Soup

We entertain family and friends a lot at our house and everybody who comes knows the deal…the dinner is going to be healthy. This makes first time dinner guests a little nervous (I admit it’s mostly the men that worry they’ll be stuck eating sprouts and rabbit food; my girlfriends are always more adventurous.) Anyway, [...]

                            Our son, Blake, had his first ever Caesar Salad in the Bahamas at Café Martinique (a French restaurant headed by Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten) and since then he has become a Caesar salad connoisseur, which was what motivated me to create a Clean Cuisine [...]

Green Smoothie Recipes that Taste Great!

I’m really not a fan of juice, but I’m especially down on packaged boxed, jarred and canned juices. You will never see a carton of OJ in my fridge. In fact, even when my son was very little and all the kids had juice boxes we were a distinctly different no-juice box household. Why? First [...]

“Clean Eating” Recipe for Watermelon Cucumber & Grape Salad

Living in south Florida I can never have too many fresh fruit salad recipes. I usually go to the grocery or to Costco on Fridays, buy a ton of fruit and then make a big batch of fruit salad Friday night. This way, we have a grab-and-go snack ready to eat all weekend (it usually [...]

Eat Clean: How To Make Healthy Asian Seaweed Salad

wakemi seaweeed 006

Every time I go to a sushi restaurant I order the seaweed salad, which is the perfect example of “clean eating” food! The seaweed salad is always very pricey though and then they give me these teeny tiny portions, so I never have enough to eat, which I find very frustrating. However, I went to my mom’s [...]

Raw Food Recipe: Coconut, Carrot & Ginger Soup

raw soup

I’ve been hearing the buzz surrounding raw food for years now but the whole concept never really appealed to me. It all seemed to “fringe element-ish” and, to be frank, not very tasty and certainly not particularly filling or satisfying. Every misconception I had about raw food completely changed last summer on a trip to NYC [...]

The Health Benefits of Hemp Seeds (Plus a Raw Eating Recipe)

orange smoothie

Technically, hemp “seeds” are really not seeds at all, they are actually a fruit. Tiny and round, sort of like itty bitty sunflower seeds, they have a pleasing, mild and slightly nutty flavor. Unlike sunflower seeds they aren’t crunchy but instead are a bit more like sesame seeds, but even softer in texture. Hemp seeds sort of [...]
