]]> Another one from the Hippy Gourmet. This really delicious raw pizzetta is from the Blossoming Lotus in Kauai. If you don’t have access to flax seed crackers for this recipe, a good substitute would be one of the larger sized crackers from your local grocery store. Can’t handle tree nuts? Try the new vegan cheese from Daiya or just whatever cheese you prefer if you’re lacto-ovo. Yes, the raw nature is changed, but part of being vegetarian is coming up with creative substitutes! Before I forget, Happy International Peace Day.

]]> A few years ago, I had the fortunate opportunity to have a meal prepared by Cherie Soria and her students from the Living Light Institute. She’s a warm and caring person with a wealth of knowledge and talent. Cherie Soria along with her teacher Dr. Ann Wigmore are frequently referred to as the godmothers of the raw food movement. In these videos divided into two parts, she discusses the types of raw “foodists,” health considerations, as well as some tips about preparing and eating raw foods. You’ll find some detailed information about the raw lifestyle. In future posts, I’ll try to find some video and recipes from some of the raw foods chefs trained by Cherie Soria. For now, enjoy this video series!

Part 1: Raw food philosophies

Part 2: Dietary considerations

Did you enjoy the videos? Did you learn anything? (I did.) Guess what? There’s more. Interested in a few recipes? Find them at the end of an interview from Vegetarians in Paradise.
