Heat Free Wednesday
16th September 2009
Well we got there in the end! What with baking on Monday and pie making yesterday my Heat Free Day kept getting pushed further down the week. So here is what was on the menu today:
Breakfast – organic fruit salad
Lunch – spring roll wraps with guacamole (Sainsburys own brand is vegan), grated carrot and grated celery.
Dinnr – Corgette pasta with green pepper pesto. Since I don’t have one of those fancy machines that makes your veggies look like noodles, I used a grater to get my corgette into ribbons to make the pasta. Then I made my ‘pesto’ from mashed avocado, green pepper and celery. I would have like to have added some pine nuts but didn’t have any, in the end I added a dollop of humous and some shredded cabbage.
Dessert – chocolate pudding, this was a recipe from Gone Raw. I mashed a banana, added some agave and then about 1.5 tsp of cocoa powder. It was a little bit sloppy (hence there is more glass than pudding in the shot!), mabye I should have gone for the recipe using avocado instead, but it was definitely edible.

Lol it’s not so bad, the first year I was vegan I tried doing a raw day once a week with Sash and I couldn’t last the whole day!

Sounds yummy. I’ve been having fruit salad with muslea for breakie everyday for the past 2 weeks.
I imagine the heat free days will get more difficult as it gets colder. Do you still have hot drinks?

That thought actually crossed my mind yesterday as it’s already starting to get chilly out! Mich mentioned she prefered my eating cold leftovers, which if I’m honest was more filling. If only I could just have breakfast, lunch and dinner at Saf…
(Ahh you got me there I did actually have a hot chocolate yesterday as lunch was really late, but if it saves me any grace it was in my reusable travel mug):o)

I have written a Raw Food Almanac: Colour Eating Without Heating – Y DIET- Don’t Cook Book which might interest you! It is based on medical research about fruits&veg’s and on my own experience over 12 years, how to phase in more and more raw bits, while phasing out more and more of the cookery… I have never felt better in my life! The trick is in the cooked vs cool food combining, using colour coding, crunch contrast , and my own culinary creativity! Please, visit the new website: Youthevity.com !
