Recipe: Sweet Pea Soup

Sweet Pea Soup

Trying out new recipes is fun!

In the book "The art of raw living food" there is a recipe for a pear cake...we tried it and it tastes yummy!

It's made with chopped pears, vanilla sauce (made with pine nuts), cinnamon and agave....it tastes delicious!

And if you have a couple of spoons of leftovers (well, impossible, I tell you) you can add them to any smoothie and it will make it rich and creamy, more yummy! No photo… we ate it too quickly. :)

We also made a Sweet Pea Soup. I tweaked a version I found on the internet and here is my own version :) with photo on top of the page:

Sweet Pea Soup

Serves 4 (if you use small bowls)

3 cups sweet peas, thawed (we actually warmed them up slightly)

1 avocado

2 cups cucumbers

2 cups celery (I used only one and it was overpowering so next time there will be none!)

1/4 cup fresh dill

1/4 cup cashews, ground (optional)

2 cloves of garlic (we used 1)

1 green onion

1 tbs lemon juice

1 tsp miso (we used Soy sauce)

Water until desired consistency is reached

Salt, to taste (we put no salt)

Blend until smooth.

How to heal from Paronychia (bacterial nail infection) with herbs!

How a friend healed from Paronychia (bacterial nail infection) with herbs! About a week ago I went to my local supermarket and I noticed that the till assistant had a sling on his bandaged middle finger. I am curious by nature , so I couldn't help asking him what happened to his finger. Carl, that was his name, promptly showed me and my daughter his finger (after taking off bandage and sling of course). To have an idea of what it looked like, have a look at Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paronychia It looks painful, doesn't it? He said that when he was watching a football on TV, he didn't realise that his nail-biting had gone a bit over the limit, and he had torn some flesh. His doctor was about to see him in two days, he reassured me, and he probably expected to be given antibiotics to treat the infection. Not happy with what I saw, I suggested a few herbs that could help him earlier than his G.P. appointment. However, once I got hom...

Recipe: Chocolate/Carob Pudding

This recipe was sent to me as part of Karen Knowler's newsletters. I tried it and tweaked it to my liking.....it's very good and overly sweet! Chocolate (Carob) Pudding Ingredients: * 2 avocadoes * 1 cup dates * 1/2 cup raw carob powder or cocoa powder * optional mint syrup * Water as needed (dates give a hard time to the blades if they are not in water) Directions 1) Simply blend all ingredients in a food processor or with a hand blender until the mixture is smooth and creamy. (A blender can’t cope with this almost solid, sticky mixture) 2) Taste test before serving. Add more avocado if you'd like it richer and/or creamier, add more dates for extra sweetness or more carob/cocoa for a stronger chocolate flavour. 3) Serve on its own or with raw ice-cream for the ultimate treat. RAW COACH'S TOP TIPS: * This recipe will keep for about 2-3 days in the fridge. Comment from Franz: this pudding is e...
