Melbourne caterer Paul Mattei insists he is thriving personally on a

stringent, uncooked diet that would make standard vegetarianism seem

indulgent, writes Ann Pilmer.

 

AT A recent function, caterer Paul Mattei served marinated daikon with

Warrigal greens and goji berries, lukewarm cauliflower soup with aged

balsamic, red onions and wilted lettuce, and a main course of

marinated brocco flowers, finely-cut carrot and grapes marinated in

lavender and aniseed myrtle, with curry oil.

 

Dessert was blood-orange sorbet and rockmelon soup topped with river

mint.

 

They might not be everyone's plats du jour, but he used the meal to

push his passionate belief that we should all eat more fresh food and

less processed or what he calls " empty " foods.

Cake and guilt traditionally go hand-in-hand, but two pioneering

Edinburgh cafes are making a move towards sweet treats that’ll keep

your conscience smelling of roses.

 

Raw Food, as a movement, is normally associated with the blue skies

and bright lights of California. Luminaries of 90s Hollywood like Demi

Moore and Alicia Silverstone are devotees of the diet, which claims

innumerable physical and mental benefits of consuming unprocessed,

undiluted,’living’ foodstuffs- over 400 raw outlets can be found

across the US.

 

It is, in fairness, the last food concept you’d expect to find

launching in Scotland, even if it is in Edinburgh’s mellow, shabby-

chic Stockbridge. To enter Red Sugar, you have to battle through the

snaking queue waiting to buy bridies and yum yums from the Greggs next

door, as owner Steve Montgomery wryly notes.

spa and store, has helped people learn to take better care of what she

calls their " most magnificent machines. "

You may have heard of raw foods, and might be wondering what it is.

It's food made using only whole fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, and

seeds, and ideally organic. Might sound boring, but I assure you the

recipes are delicious, nutritious, easy and fast to make, and keep us

looking and feeling out best.
