Presenting Deliciously Raw: Quick 'n Easy Recipes from The Sunny Raw Kitchen

I am delighted to present you with my fourth and latest recipe book, Deliciously Raw: Quick 'n Easy Recipes from The Sunny Raw Kitchen. This small book focuses on simple recipes that can be prepared mostly with the help of a good - preferably high power - blender.

As a chef, I’m always on the lookout for new gadgets and appliances to work with in my raw kitchen. During a stay at the Foxes near Salt Lake City earlier this year we were introduced to the Omniblend V blender; a powerful 3 HP blender that costs significantly less than comparable machines.

Needless to say I was excited to put the OMNI to the test. We used the OMNI for all of our food prep for almost 3 weeks and were positively surprised by its consistent performance. (I have given a detailed account of our experience and opinion with the OMNI here.) In fact I was so impressed with it that I accepted Thomas’ offer to write a recipe book to be included in each of the OMNI boxes.

The recipes contained in Deliciously Raw are all real easy, quick to prepare and utterly delicious! While the book was especially tailored for the OMNI, the recipes can be made with any blender. Due to its minimal need for other appliances, Deliciously Raw is therefore the perfect beginner's guide for anyone interested in introducing more raw foods into their diet.

 Here are some of the yummies you can expect to find in Deliciously Raw:

Sunny Raw Sweet Kitchen
And while on the topic of Russell James, I thought I'd share a few of his yummilicious sweet creations that I've been whipping up these last few weeks.

Sadly, I've been feeling mostly uninspired to prep food this summer, munching pretty much exclusively on juices, smoothies, watermelon, freshly picked veggies from the garden, raw soups, big salads and corn on the cob. BUT last month I decided to treat myself to an extra special luxury... I took the plunge and purchased Russell's new Raw Dessert Homestudy Course as he had a sale on that was just too good to be missed. (I wrote a post telling you more about his latest product here.)

I participated in his free Dessert Webinar first and realized that since I learned several new tips and tricks just from watching those few short videos the complete Dessert Course would be a wise investment. I was so right!

It's been really nice to finally get a chance to see him work 'live' after having tried so many of his recipes. He's just as I imagined him to be; genuine, precise, super creative and even funny to boot! Plus I get to ask any questions I may have about his recipes on The Raw Chef Academy website and he answers them personally.

Anyhoo, I'm about to begin Week 5 now and learn all of the secrets of Raw Chocolate Making (including an easy way to temper chocolate). Mmmmm... I can hardly wait!

So far I've made...

Marbled Raspberry Vanilla Tart

This recipe was actually part of the free Webinar and demonstrated how to create beautiful swirling designs. It was absolutely to live for and oh-so pretty too!!!

Toffee Coffee Panna Cotta

This was the very first recipe I tried from the Raw Dessert Homestudy Course and it was delightful! The Panna Cotta uses Irish moss paste - one of my favorite ingredients for lighter melt-in-your-mouth desserts - and was topped with Chocolate Sauce and a few freshly picked huckleberries. Yum!

I recently cheated and jumped ahead a few weeks in order to make a recipe from one of the weekly topics that interested me the most: Nut Free Desserts.

Red Velvet Cake

In his raw version of the famous Red Velvet Cake Russell ingeniously uses a combination of oat flour, coconut flour and ground flax seeds in the cake layer instead of the more common nuts. I didn't have any young coconut for the Icing/Cream layer so I subbed with cashews instead. It still turned out super well, and of course was very visually stunning. I thought that the result was rather heavy due to the flours, but that just meant that we enjoyed smaller pieces. I'm looking forward to playing with that concept some more in creating other types of desserts.

Got you drooling all over your keyboard? (Ooops, sorry!)
