Rawk Starz Preview

It's been awhile since I've posted, but that doesn't mean I haven't been in the kitchen! I've been rawkin' out in there and plan to be sharing a lot more with you. This fall, Rawk Starz plans to release a cookbook full of amazing dishes. And just to tease, here are a couple you'll find:

Raw Ice Kream Sandwhich (made with pineapple, raw strawberry ice kream, and cacao nibs)

Ginger Cheesecake

I loved this ginger cheesecake! I haven't perfected it yet, so I don't want to share the recipe. Once I tweek it just a bit, I will post how to make it.

Rawk Your Life!

My favorite raw food quotes:

"Tell me what you eat, I’ll tell you who you are." Anthelme Brillat-Savarin
"Let your food be your medicine, and your medicine be your food."
Hippocrates
"Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet."
Albert Einstein
"Nature itself is the best physician."Hippocrates
"If you are not your own doctor, you are a fool."
Hippocrates
“I wake up feeling clear and energized in the morning ... What is most profound for me about this light eating pattern is the flow of cosmic energy I feel coursing through my body. ... During the day it feels as if joy is simply running through every cell independent of external factors.”------Gabriel Cousens, M.D.
"Natural forces within us are the true healers of disease. "
Hippocrates
"To do nothing is sometimes a good remedy. "
Hippocrates
"Great eaters and great sleepers are incapable of anything else that is great. "
Henry IV of France
“It was tough at first because cooked food is addictive ... Once I cleansed my body of the cooked-food residues, I no longer craved cooked food. What a liberating experience! I can sincerely tell you – it is magical ... I just did my best each day to go without cooked food and I didn't worry about how much raw plant food I was eating ... I stopped eating cooked food completely after about a year.” -----Stephen Arlin, Raw Power, Building Strength & Muscle Naturally
"We never regret of having eaten too little."
Thomas Jefferson
"The rest of the world lives to eat, while I eat to live."
Socrates
Vegetarians don't believe in killing for food, but too often they kill their food by cooking it! Blatant Raw Foodist Propaganda! by Joe Alexander
"They are sick that surfeit with too much, as they that starve with nothing."
William Shakespeare
“Obesity is nothing more than backed-up cooked-food waste trapped in the body. No amount of raw plant food is fattening, only cooked food is fattening. Eating raw bankrupts all the complex theories as to why and how people become fat.” ---Arlin, Dini & Wolfe, Nature's First Law: The Raw-Food Diet
"In general, mankind, since the improvement in cookery, eats twice as much as nature requires."
Benjamin Franklin
"More die in the United States of too much food than of too little."
John Kenneth Galbraith, Economist, The Affluent Society
The greatest value of the raw food diet is its transformative value. To a great extent, when you take up the raw food diet, you become a new and different and better person. You don't just stay the old person, only a little healthier. You become, to a great extent, a new being with new interests, a new philosophy and outlook on life, new goals and desires. You become more of your essence, your true and natural self. You become a person who is more a part of the one great life of Nature and less of the confused human world. You become less "of the world" and more "of the Earth." --Blatant Raw Foodist Propaganda! by Joe Alexander
