Dear blog world,

Honest to god, i'm just trying not to get cancer or fat. And I've read too many books and seen too many movies to let processed food kill me like it's doing to everyone else I know. Don't get me wrong, I LIKE cooked food, I like to cook, and I will never stop eating my dad's lasagna or my mum's family recipes. But I have got to get this trash out of my life.

So, the blog... I haven't got a dehydrator, a vitamix or even a food processor. I've been making raw-food recipes from ani phyo and mathew kenney for about seven months, but I feel like I'm still learning. My first interest came when one of my favorite musicians,jonsi, started a raw recipe show with his partner. I love those recipes, the whole book is fantastic.

Then I went to Thrive in Seattle, a raw restaurant that has further inspired me to create my own recipes and eat clean. Other great raw places in Seattle to check out are Chaco Canyon Café, and Healeo.

I started reading Ani Phyo and Mathew Kenney's books...the seamed so 'together,' pure and healthy people. I wanted to be like that. With a body, mind, and life that I liked. The recipe for this, it seams, is nuts, seeds, fresh vegetables and fruits, combined in all of these weird ways to make food.

So...here goes nothing!

I love to share recipes, so please, post your urls so I can check out your site!
