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...

This year will mark my 23rd “veganniversary”, and also my 7th full calendar year of maintaining an entirely raw diet.

What better way to break a fast than with delicious probiotic goodness? Most kombucha available on the market is made from black tea, and also...

Although not normally one to get caught up in the “holiday gift ideas” frenzy, I found myself compelled to say a few words about a new discovery which impressed me as a great “jumping off” point for those who are just beginning their respective journeys down the path to vegan and raw vegan dietary transitions.
