In the Raw: Not-Tuna Pate with Pesto

There are some incredibly creative raw recipes out there.

You can make pasta from zucchini, cheesecake from nuts and dates, & taco meat from walnuts (for real!)

And it's not just for show. This stuff actually tastes amazing.

Take, for instance, my dinner last night: Not-Tuna Pate with homegrown tomato slices topped with fresh pesto.

Yes, I Know I'm Crazy....

There is no microwave in my kitchen. When we learned what it does to our food, we unplugged it and stowed it away on the top shelf of a closet.

I’m not exactly sure what to do with it just yet....I would feel morally responsible for selling the “death box,” as my friend Thomas likes to call it (though he still uses it.....), and allowing a poor unsuspecting soul to further deteriorate his or her health. “Here, you can have this disease-causing machine at a reduced price! Today only!”

So why do we do our very best to avoid food cooked in microwaves?

So glad you asked.....
