Vegan Monday: Sweet Raw Carrot Balls – A Quick And Healthy Delight

Published by

I mean seriously, this is so quick and easy that you will want to do any time. All you need is a food processor and your hands! I made these cuties for the first time a couple of months ago. I normally like nuts so much more when they are toasted but I managed to keep myself from doing that and used everything raw. The result was not disappointing. These truffles are very healthy and they are sweet but not too sweet. They stay very well in the fridge, in an airtight container for almost up to a week. So you can make a batch, put them in the fridge and pop a couple into your mouth when you feel like it! I saw a similar recipe in Shuangy’s Kitchen Sink blog first, then decided to make my version with some twists. In one of the trials I replaced dried dates with dried figs and it actually worked out so much better for my taste. So I highly recommend that as well! Enjoy!— Ingredients: Difficulty: …

Raw Celeriac Salad – With Walnuts!

Published by

Celeriac. One of my favourite vegetables. When I was a kid I was one of the pickiest little brats in the whole world possibly. But I always ate the strangest things without any problem, like okra, or eggplant or celeriac. I say strange things because in my family only me and my mother would eat those vegetables, the others would always find something to hate about them. With celeriac, it was the smell. But for me, celeriac’s smell is the best part of it!

Gluten Free Thursday – Raw Avocado Cake

Published by

December 26th was my birthday. I prepared this cake for my birthday – the idea was to take it to Hietaniemi Beach in Töölö (Helsinki) with a bottle of sparkling wine and eat it there with some friends. But… Of course there had to be something like a storm that day – and then came snow towards the evening, the first real snow of this winter. So it was eaten indoors. This is my destiny – unless I move somewhere in Southern Hemisphere, I will always freeze in my birthday and never have a beach celebration.

Raw Cake With Lingonberry – It’s Raw, It’s Gluten Free and It’s Vegan!

Published by

I’m not going to lie, I love baking, I love what measuring each ingredient carefully, I love learning about what happens inside the oven, the science behind baking.. That’s why I don’t think I will ever be a raw-only person. But I like trying new tastes every now and then, and this time I tried a 3-layers lingonberry raw cake, inspired by Pim Pauline’s recipe. I must say, though, making a raw cake in Finland needs a nice, large budget – there’s generally a big amount of nut varieties in raw cake recipes and they are really expensive here… (But then again, what is NOT expensive?!) And I decided to put the recipe now, as it looks, and with berries and cinnamon it tastes, like Christmas!

Raw Pecan Brownies With Avocado And Peanut Butter Frosting – The Power Of Raw

Published by

As most of you know, I am not so crazy about raw food – I am not against it but I am not also trying to eat everything raw. I actually saw the photo of these brownies on instagram one day and they looked so good that I had to try it. I googled the recipe, it is a recipe by Panaceas Pantry published on shesaid.com, and I wanted to do it right away. I even searched for the matching sweet dessert wine in local Alko shop. The brownies turned out incredibly delicious and sweet but looked much more different than the photo on the recipe. Mine turned out heavy avocado colour on the upper layer, but well, who cares, it was deadly delicious in any case.
