    Maioneza de avocado- 1 avocado bine copt- zeama de la 1/2 lamaie- 1 l-ta rasa mustar- sare- ulei de floarea soarelui presat la receAvocado se scobeste de miez, se paseaza la robot pana rezulta o pasta omogena. Se adauga apoi zeama de lamaie, sarea si mustarul si se mixeaza. La urma se adauga ulei putin cate putin, ca si in cazul maionezei clasice, pana rezulta o textura spumoasa si asemanatoare maionezei.Eu am servit cu tulpina de telina, fasiute de ardei, seminte de floarea soareluiaromate cu usturoi si oregano (reteta in curand) si paine multicereale (din comert).

    Pateu de spanac

    Pateu de spanac Aduce putin la gust cu mancarica de spanac insa aroma este mai fina, datorita prezentei si altor ingrediente, printre care coriandrul. Poate ficonsumat atat pe paine, cat si ca umplutura de tarte raw vegan.Ingrediente:- 2 buc. avocado bine copt- 4 cani spanac taiat grob- 1/4 cana coriandru proaspat, tocat grob- 2 lg ulei presat la rece- 3/4 cana zucchini curatat si taiat cuburi

    - suc de lamaie dupa gust- 1 catel de usturoi- 1/2 l-ta pudra de ceapa- 1/2 l-ta sareSe mixeaza zucchini la blender pana este faramitat suficient de bine. Se adaugaapoi avocado si zeama de lamaie si se mai mixeaza. Apoi se adauga restul ingredientelor. Trebuie sa rezulte o pasta omogena, insa nu f groasa (adaugati apa plata daca este prea gros).

    Onion dipI never measure ingredients exactly but this is a good approximation of what I used - just keep tasting until you like it, and use veggie chips, or super thin crackers, or whatever you like. I like the flax seed crackers with it,- they shatter in your mouth exactly like potato chips.

    2 cups of whatever nuts/seeds you have laying around, soaked overnight (I used sunflower seeds, cashews, and pine nuts)the juice from half a lemon1 clove garlicone slice onion or 3 green onions

    celtic salt

    Just combine everything in a food processor or blender, and add water a bit at atime if you need to, until you get that nice, creamy, thick consistency. An alternate way is to process all but the onion slice, and juice that instead, addingboth the juice, and the pulp, to the dip. I've made it both ways and think I like the juiced onion a bit more. If this sits in the fridge for several hours oreven overnight, it's even better.

    I make flax seed crackers and then dehydrate them for several hours longer thanthe recipe calls for, this makes the cracker super thin. It breaks in your mouthjust like a potato chip, which is great with the dip.

    Parmesan cheese1/4 c. walnuts or pine nutsparsley and Italian herbs to taste

    Blend walnuts in food processor until you get the consistency of fine crumbles.

    Stir in parsley and Italian herbs to taste

    I put this "cheese" on my "spaghetti" and it's fabulous! It's also a good topping to salads.

    Summer sour cream and onion dip1 c. sunflower seeds (soaked for 4 or more hours)handful of cilantrohandful of parsleycouple of green onionscouple of broccoli pieces1 avocadojuice of a lemontwo pinches of unrefined sea saltsome organic Italian or Mexican seasonings.

    (Check the label on the seasonings and make sure all the ingredients are names of herbs that you recognize, and there is no "other spices, other seasonings, natural flavors" or other vague ingredients, as these names are often are used to disguise MSG).

    Using a blender or food processor, blend sunflower seeds. Add cilantro, parsley,green onions, broccoli, avocado, lemon juice, salt and seasonings. Blend. Eat on its own or dip veggies in it. If you just blend it a little it's more like a salad, blend a little more for a pat, or keep on blending for a dip!

    After one hour, remove dough on a a clean surface and divide it to make 10 separate balls. Take each ball, knead it a few times, and make into a bagel shape. Begin from the center and work outwards. The bagel should be no thicker than 2 inches. Take each bagel and press it into a topping (recipes below) and place on adehydrator sheet, dehydrate for 3-4 hrs. at 145 degrees (only in the Excalibur at this temperature. All others at 110-115 degrees) or until the top is crisp.

    Cut each bagel with a serrated kife and if you like you can toast it up in the d

    ehydrator for 10-15 mins. Take each bagel slice, slather it with chive cream cheese (recipe below) and some marinated tomatoes or thinly sliced cucumbers. and there you have it! This recipe is also great for making pretzels and other fun shapes.

    3 1/4 cups carrot pulp (made from the process of making fresh carrot juice)This adds bulk to the bread and gives it a beatiful color. You could mix beet inyour juice for a rich salmon-colored bread.4 TBS raw honey3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil1 to 1 1/2 TBS sea salt

    This makes about a months supply or maybe a weeks worth for large families. (itusually lasts us a little over a week)

    Mix it in batches in your food processor and transfer to one bowl. Lightly grease 5 teflex solid dehydrator sheets and cover with dough, a scant 1 cm thick. Ifmaking pizza crusts form into rounds. If making flat bread to tear off when desired make large squares. If you want to make sandwich slices, score beforehand into cracker shapes.

    Dehydrate the flat bread at 105 degrees for a few hours until a crust is formedon one side and then flip them onto the mesh sheet below and dehydrate until thoroughly dry - about 12 to 16 hours.

    When they are very well dried, they will keep well wrapped in loose linen and aplastic bag in a cool, dry place.

    Flax seed crackersI used juiced vegetables instead of plain water to soak the seeds, and I laid down a layer of super thinly sliced tomato and onion on teflex sheets, and then spooned the flax seeds over them. Soaked flax seeds are very gelatinous and goopy,sort of like cake batter - you spread them on thickly and they look very peasanty and "handmade" when they're done - I love the way they look!

    1 lb golden flax seeds1 carrot1 thin slice onion1 thick slice tomato

    1 thick slice red pepperCeltic salt and maybe some pepper - to tasteone tomato sliced super thinone onion sliced super thin

    I juiced the 4 veggies with some water and the salt, and soaked the flax seeds in it for 8 hours, adding more water when needed. I also added some of the veggiepulp to the flax seeds, because I like the way it looks. I laid the thin slicesof onion and tomato down on teflex sheets, and spread the flax seed on top. Dehydrated it at 105 for about 12-13 hours, and then turned the sheets upside downand peeled the teflex off, and continued dehydrating until the veggie slices were dry.

    I think you could speed this up quite a bit by dehydrating the veggie slices separately first, and then adding the flax seed and dehydrating again.

    PS - remember to chew the crackers really well, like you should! All of the benefits of flax seeds can't be assimilated unless they're ground, either by mills,or teeth!

    Rejuvelac apa de griu incoltit

    Preparation of Rejuvelac is simple, but it does take some time, so it must be made in advance. You will need a clean, wide-mouth jar, measuring one-half or onegallon; a piece of nylon mesh or cheesecloth; a supply of soft wheatberries (spring wheat); and a strong rubberband.

    Fill the jar one-fourth full of wheatberries. Cover the mouth of the jar with nylon mesh or cheesecloth, and secure the mesh with a strong rubber band. Add enough spring or filtered water to fill the jar. Allow the wheatberries to soak foreight to ten hours, then drain them , rinse, and drain again. Place the jar at an angle so the berries continuously drain. Make sure that the wheatberries do not completely cover the mouth of the jar, because they will need ventilation. Thewheatberries will start to sprout. Rinse them about two or three times a day during the sprouting stage. After two days, rinse the sprouted wheatberries thoroughly for the last time. Drain off the rinsing water, fill the jar to the top with spring or filtered water, and allow the sprouts to soak for forty-eight hours.

    At the end of this time, this soaking liquid is your first batch of Rejuvelac.Pour this off into another jar for immediate use or keep it in the refrigeratorto slow down the fermentation process.Refill the jar with the same amount of spring or filtered water to make your second batch of Rejuvelac. but this time soak the sprouts for only twenty-four hours. Pour off this second batch and refill the jar with the same amount of springor filtered water to make the final batch of Rejuvelac. Again, soak the sproutsfor only twenty-four hours. After you have made three batches, feed the spent wheatberries to the birds.Good Rejuvelac is a cloudy, slightly yellow liquid with a tart, lemonade flavor.When it is fermented too long, it can become very sour. Since it is constantlyfermenting, it is natural that tiny bubbles rise through the liquid occasionally. The very best Rejuvelac is in fact slightly carbonated. It is also natural fora layer of white foam to form on the top of the Rejuvelac. This is not harmfuland can be used. Rejuvelac can be kept in the refrigerator for a few days to a week, as long as the taste is still agreeable with you. Drink Rejuvelac before orbetween meals to avoid diluting the digestive juices after a meal.

    Pour mixture on teflex sheets, using a spatula evenly spread the mixture all over the sheet, making one big square (actual chip thickness will end up being about 1/2 what the mixture is when it goes into the dehydrator).

    Dehydrate at 105 degrees until desired crispness is attained --- normally 48 hours will do (I suggest turning the whole sheet over and changing to a mesh tray about half way through). Once they are crisp all the way through, you can break them into chip-size pieces and store in an air-tight container.

    Seasoning of choice - optional (Alex likes them with paprika & cayenne pepper) (I put the sundried toms in the bowl with the flax seeds for soaking so the juiceisn't wasted. If the tomatoes are salted you might not want to do this)

    Put all ingredients in a food processor and mix well. Don't use full speed or it'll end up as mush - you want the pepper chunks fairly intact. I use the Vita-Mix on 6.

    Spoon onto non-stick sheet on dehydrator tray in blobs up to 1 cm thick and dehydrate for 12 hours or so, then remove the sheet and turn over until crisp (another 12 hours). I use the Sigg on 2 because I know that's still raw.

    They don't need much of a topping - just a slice of tomato or avocado - or on the side of a green salad.

    Makes about 20-24.

    Extras1 avocado julienned1/2 cup sprouts (ginger sprouts are yummy, alfalfa sprouts, sunflower sprouts, etc..)

    WasabiCombine fresh mustard green juice with fresh horseradish puree

    10 Steps to Making SushiStep 1: Take a sheet of nori and place it onto a clean smooth surface.Step 2: Spread 2-3 tbs. of the rice mixture on to 1/4th of the nori sheet.Step 3: Make a little indent and put 1-2 tbs. of the marinated veggies on top.Step 4: Top that with a few pieces of the julienned avocado.

You can roll the sushi with a sushi mat or use your fingers.I like to use my fingers. Use your thumbs and fingers and roll it up, when rolling, tighten the roll everytime.Step 8: Let the roll sit for 5 minutes before cutting.Step 9: Using a serrated knife cut the nori roll into 5-6 equal parts. Use a see-saw motion with a serrated knife to make it a perfect smooth cut.Step 10: Place nori rolls on a platter and garnish with garlic chives, edible flowers, sesame seeds. Serve with freshly grated wasabi and raw soy sauce.
