THE ART OF RAW: UNCOOKING FOR THE NEW MILLENNIUM

 

SmartMonkey Foods chefs Ani Phyo and Ede Schweizer

deliver a raw uncookbook filled with delicious,

easy-to-prepare, truly artistic creations

 

January 2005

 

PORTLAND, Oregon ˆ Portland‚s premier living foods

company has released its long-awaited debut

uncookbook: The Art of Raw. SmartMonkey Foods founders

and co-authors Ani Phyo and Ede Schweizer have

compiled over 25 of their most popular recipes for

healthy, natural, uncooked dishes to tempt the palates

of raw food followers and traditional cooks alike.

Schweizer, a photographer and book designer, and Phyo,

a former multimedia designer, created their

self-published book with an eye for both usability and

style. In one color, Schweizer‚s exquisite photos

showcase the natural beauty of food prepared and

served at its freshest.

 

Phyo and Schweizer authored The Art of Raw in response

to growing requests from customers and students for a

book of their most popular recipes. Because most

SmartMonkey Foods customers lead busy lives ˆ from

business people who travel often to parents with young

children ˆ The Art of Raw includes a wealth of

easy-to-prepare, simple yet delicious recipes. Phyo

and Schweizer know that while today‚s health-conscious

professionals and families want to eat fresh, organic,

exceptionally flavorful foods, they don‚t have time to

fuss with lengthy dehydration, sprouting, or a laundry

list of exotic ingredients. That‚s why every recipe in

The Art of Raw can be prepared using only a blender or

food processor, and most recipes include less than

seven easy-to-find, inexpensive ingredients.

 

The first printing of The Art of Raw ˆ which Phyo and

Schweizer created by hand ˆ sold out during the

weekend-long International Raw and Living Foods

Festival in August 2004. A second run is now

available. Future editions will include information

about the raw lifestyle and philosophy; nutritional

information about eating raw; and details of the

authors‚ backgrounds as designers, artists, raw-food

enthusiasts, and chefs.

 

A sampling of SmartMonkey Foods most popular dishes,

this debut edition includes recipes for three main

course entrees (Stuffed Anaheim Chiles, Flaxseed

Pizza, and Italian Herb Collard Rolls); three soups

(Gazpacho, Garlic Walnut, and Creamy Portabella); five

dressings, (Orange-Cucumber, Caesar, Curry, Confetti

Salad, and Spring Herbs); four cheezes (Italian Pizza,

Black Pepper, Sun-dried Tomato, and Dill); four drinks

(Bluesmoothie, Mango Lassi, Carob Brazil Milkshake,

and Almond Nog); three sides (Coconut Chutney, Walnut

Cranberry Squash „Rice,‰ and Thai-style Cucumbers);

and one raw dog-food recipe, a favorite of Phyo and

Schweizer‚s canine companion Kanga (Kanga‚s Favorite

Pate).

 

In order to preserve food‚s natural enzymes ˆ which

are essential to proper digestion and good health ˆ

SmartMonkey Foods recipes are never heated above 104

degrees. The ingredients are always fresh, organic,

vegan and wheat-free. The taste is always delicious.

As a leader in raw food nutrition and gourmet raw

cuisine, Phyo speaks regularly on maintaining health

and achieving optimal performance through nutrition.

Her popular uncooking classes are offered through

Whole Foods Markets‚ Salud Cooking School in Portland

and Seattle, and her seminars are taught at the Adidas

Village Center.

 

SmartMonkey Foods weekly dinners in Portland,

uncooking classes in Portland and Seattle, and special

events throughout the region are eagerly anticipated

and always well attended by the local raw community

and other health-conscious food lovers. With raw in

the media spotlight during the past few years,

SmartMonkey Foods has developed a national following

as well. When tennis stars Andre Agassi and Anna

Kournakova came to Portland in November 2003 as part

of SuperSet Tennis, promoters included SmartMonkey

Foods Extreme Energy Bars in gift baskets presented to

the athletes. In October 2004, Phyo and Schweizer

catered a birthday party for the cast of Stomp,

shipping festive treats across the country for the

event. When Carnival Cruises decided to test raw

cuisine on a Caribbean cruise that same year,

SmartMonkey Foods developed a living foods menu worthy

of Carnival‚s opulent reputation.

 

The Portland company offers seven popular packaged raw

food items, including carob brownies, coconut lemon

bars, pecan pie, pizza crust, Italian „cheeze,‰ and

cosmic herb dressing, all available at Whole Foods

Markets and Wild Oats Markets in Portland, as well as

several other regional natural food stores from

Seattle, WA to San Francisco, CA.

 

All SmartMonkey Foods products, including The Art of

Raw, are available online at www.smartmonkeyfoods.com.
