Lunar Noodling – Heirloom Apple/Butternut Pasta & Sunflower Seed Butter Sauce

Happy Lunar New Year! This time of year marks that particular moment when many of us (myself included) choose to observe onset of a new full calendar reset – and in this case the Year of The Monkey. In honour of kindred primates worldwide, this seems more than an appropriate time to celebrate with the best possible food to fuel primates of all species (including humans): FRUIT!   As it seems that ritual accompanies the onset of each new year, symbolism always plays an integral role in the way many of us are...

Spicy Raw Vegan “Nacho Cheese”

Happy (nearly) Full Moon! Wouldn’t it be wild if the moon just happened to be made of (raw vegan) cheese? 😉 Whilst musing such mirthful fancies, I’ve decided that this week would be as good a time as any to share an exceedingly simple, low-fat, creamy & seemingly decadent raw vegan formulation with all of you!

Firstly, what’s NOT to get excited about when it comes to our very best source for warmth,...

Hempseed Mayonnaise

“Mayonnaise” made from hulled hemp seeds started off as an experiment, and has since evolved into one of my most highly praised and requested specialty condiment formulations. It’s one of my elementary menu items for teaching in workshops which I also enjoy using in various dishes on occasion. This simple blend is rich in protein and valuable omega fatty acids, whilst adding a creamy consistency to every dish blessed with its presence. It works exceptionally well in mock tuna salad, and also...

Warm Salted Caramel Sauce

Happy Vernal Equinox! Many thanks to everyone who voted on recipes to be posted for the first week of Spring.                     ☼ ❀ ✾ ❁☺ This creamy sauce was another fun bit of experimentation with Sunwarrior’s delicious vanilla protein powder, which ended up tasting as luscious as it looked. I cannot remember the last time I devoured a mountain of apples so quickly as when they were naughtily smothered in this warm salted “caramel” sauce… As promised, here is the formula I used to...
