Oh No! Not another newbie

[Guest guest]

I find that I cannot agree with the assertion that taking the time to plan meals

in advance and carefully assemble food is an attempt to simulate cooked foods.

This implies that taking a few extra minutes to prepare, plate and garnish a

meal from a recipe is somehow naïve and amateur-ish. I have always believed that

dining well is an art form, and as such, an opportunity for creative

self-expression. In addition, my family makes time to set the table, arrange

flowers, and light candles for each meal we eat together in our home. These

traditions are an age-old outer symbol of our inner desire to nourish ourselves

and each other spiritually. Anything less feels irreverent to us.

 

 

 

Further, I have discovered many new and unique recipes during my journey into

raw foods. While some of them may resemble traditional food preparation either

in taste – a salad is a salad is a salad, or name, i.e. pizza in the raw - I

also have found innumerable imaginative and inspired new dishes from amateur and

professional chefs, who are changing the way food is perceived globally. This is

an amazing and beautiful thing, and a remarkable change from just ten years ago.

Who knows? The next level of raw foods’ chef / restaurateur may be on this list.

I don’t know about you, but I could use a few of those in my city.
