I would totally appreciate recipes from anyone in the group. I've got a fantastic selection of books, but I find that book recipes can be hit and miss. You never know which ones are the best. I think reccomendations are the ideal way to go. To start, I'll even share one of my standbys: Coconut Cream * for the times you're craving something sweet 1 coconut 2 T cold-pressed walnut oil 1 vanilla bean (or vanilla extract, not raw!) 4-6 dates, soaked in water date soak water or coconut water Chop up the coconut into 1 " chunks. Pop in blender or food processor with walnut oil, vanilla, soaked dates and a bit of water. Blend/process adding water a teaspoon at a time until cream reaches desired consistency and all lumps are gone. If you add a bit too much water, it's okay, it'll solidify a bit in the fridge. The cream keeps in the fridge for just under a week. I modified this from a recipe by Renee Loux Underkoffler in ''Living Cuisine, The Art and Spirit of Raw Foods''. The original used coconut oil, but I find the walnut oil just adds this amazing flavour to the cream. A spoon or two is all I need when I'm craving something sweet or fatty or am tempted to eat something cooked. Cheers, Christine New and Improved Mail - Send 10MB messages!
