Guest guest Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 Terry, So glad you like Alissa's book, I can't say enough good things about it. I have it marked up already and written in the index a bit...it is the only thing which I think needs a bit of help. Some other great soul told me about the book when I was asking a few weeks ago. I have Cousin's books in my hands now and will review them when I get a few moments (lol!)...hope they are not too complicated. I like easy. Wow! that's a great idea for crackers or cornbread. I just got my Excalibur and will use it this week. Hey, have you tried agave nectar instead of honey? I like it better and it's sugar content is much less yet packs the same taste punch for the same price. Stevia is a good sweetener in recipes that have other things to mask it's little bit of an aftertaste. Braggs, I adore. And Spike! Just use my tons and tons of Real Salt (huge bucket from Y2K)...for certain recipes. Oh! Did I miss that tomato dressing? Please re-send. Finding good organic ripe tomatoes here in OK/TX is a challenge, but I have a good sniffer, LOL! I sure miss those huge avos from when I live in Calif and Hawaii, we used to feed em to the dogs before the'd rot, so many. Get em on sale here for 79cents or a dollar a piece! And they are small. Loved dem big butter cods. Diana of DH Thanks Diana. I've spent a wonderful hour with my Alissa book - it is great. I've already recommended it to a person who is just starting out on raw. The recipes all sound good - however, I don't use honey or Braggs, I'll just substitute salt and date juice and see how it works. I'm on a very tight budget, so I really liked the way she broke the first four weeks down into what to buy. That has been my hardest thing - making sure I have the right ingredients on hand when I want to whip something up. Looking forward to hearing about the other book too, tho. I am almost never home so my prep time is at a premium. Glad you liked the corn salad - that book has a lot of good stuff in it. I use the tomato dressing almost exclusively now - add a few other things from time to time, but stick with the basic recipe pretty much. Spinning the corn salad in the processor. Know what? If turned to chunky mush, I bet it would make great dehydrated crackers ... hmmmmm. May have to try that next time! cheers terry The all-new My – What will yours do?
