I'm definitely no master when it comes to raw food preparation, but I've had the wonderful and unique opportunity to work in a raw food kitchen! I'm learning a lot and most notably falling in love with some of the delicious dishes. I'd never before prepared food for the dehydrator and delightfully tasted the results.
What's up with a raw food
diet? First of all you don't have
to eat only raw foods to enjoy raw food recipes. Some are simple to prepare, such as fruits, salads, meat,
and dairy... If you're not concerned about meat and dairy. The kitchen I work in is strictly
veggie and vegan, as in no dairy either.
Some foods require considerable advanced planning to prepare for eating.
Rice and some other grains require sprouting or overnight soaking to become
digestible. Many raw foodists believe it is best to soak nuts and seeds before
eating them, to activate their enzymes, and deactivate enzyme inhibitors. I'm no expert on any of this, just
kitchen help and learning.
The preparation of gourmet
raw food recipes require a blender, food processor, juicer, and dehydrator- that makes so many neat foods and awesome seasoned chips in different veggie styles! Depending on the recipe, some food (such as crackers, breads
and cookies) may need to be dehydrated. These processes, which produce foods
with the taste and texture of cooked food, can take a long session in the
dehydrator.
If you want to try vegan raw
foods, I can tell you as a food lovin’, baking, grilling, meat eating girl- raw
food is also a wonderful part of the foods I enjoy. They are much more difficult for home chefs to prepare because most of us
don't have a food dehydrator in our kitchen. Don't get discouraged
though, juices and other preparations don't require that you purchase a food
dehydrator.
