Sheryn Abalos, left, and Barclay Graebner run the Art of Food Cafe,

3404 N.Miami Ave., which specializes in fresh organic natural cuisine.

 

 

Sheryn Abalos' lasagne is not only meatless, it is wheatless,

cheeseless, even pasta-less. Heck, IT is not even cooked.

 

From her ''cold'' kitchen inside a funky art co-op, Abalos makes raw

soups, salads, entrées like faux salmon, smoothies sweetened with

agave nectar instead of sugar, signature herbal drinks called

MarTEAnis and, of course, desserts -- made of spelt flour (lighter

than wheat).
