approx 1⁄2 cm (1/4 inch) strips.
2. Combine the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic and salt in a bowl. Add the
sliced mushrooms and peppers to the bowl and mix.
3. Place mushrooms and peppers on a non-stick dehydrator sheet, dehydrate for 3
hours at 115°F.

Meatloaf
1. Grind all ingredients in a food processor and process until thoroughly mixed.
2. Add the dehydrated mushrooms and peppers and process again leaving the
mushrooms and peppers chunky.
3. Remove from the food processor and form into 2 loaves, approx 2cm tall and
4cm wide.
4. Dehydrate for 12 hours at 115F with the tomato sauce (the tomato sauce is in a
bowl as instructed below).

Tomato Sauce
1. Place all ingredients into a high speed blender and process until smooth.
2. Place into a large bowl so the sauce has a larger surface area, which will help it
reduce quicker.
3. Place the entire bowl of sauce into the dehydrator on 115 and allow to
dehydrate 12 hours, stirring occasionally, or until it’s reduced by half and is
thick.
4. Spread an even layer of the sauce on top of the meatloaf (which by this point
has done most of its drying) and dehydrate at 115F for a further 2 hours.
5. Serve warm from the dehydrator.

Notes
If you want to get this made ahead of time, freeze the meatloaf and tomato sauce a
couple of weeks before the day, then defrost in the dehydrator and spread the tomato
sauce over the top the night before and continue to dehydrate until ready to serve.

Linzer Cookies
Berry Jam
 1 1/2 cups raspberries frozen (also blueberries or blackberries)
 1/4 cup maple syrup
 5 drops vanilla medicine flower extract or ½ tsp vanilla powder

Buckwheat Cookies
 1/3 cup buckwheat measured dry (sprouted for 12 hours)
 3 tbsp maple syrup or xylitol
 1/3 cup ground almonds
 ½ tsp vanilla extract or 4 drops vanilla medicine flower extract
 2 tbsp water
 Pinch sea salt
 1 tbsp psyllium husk
 1/8 cup coconut flour
 1/8 cup oat flour

Instructions

Berry Jam (Raw Method)


1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl, crushing the berries slightly as you mix.
2. Place the whole bowl in the dehydrator for 8-14 hours on 115f.
3. Stir the jam every 2-4 hours to avoid getting a skin on top and keep it

consistent.

4. You want it reduced by ⅓ – ½ in volume.


Berry Jam (Stove Top Method)
1. Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and cover with a lid.
2. Pop on the hob/stove on medium-high heat, covered, until it’s gently bubbling
and then uncover and reduce to a light simmer.
3. Reduce by ½ – ⅔.
4. Remove from the heat and blend till smooth.

Buckwheat Cookies
1. In a high speed blender, combine the first 6 ingredients and blend on
low/medium to break down the buckwheat. You may need to scrape down the sides a
few times as you go.
2. Once it’s all smooth, add the psyllium and blend on low to combine.
3. Mix together the coconut and oat flours in a bowl and add the blender contents.
Using your hands, mix it all up and form into a ball.
4. Roll it out between two pieces of teflex or greaseproof paper to about ¼ inch
thickness.
5. Cut with a 2-3 inch ring cutter. Dampen the cutter between cuts to keep it
cutting clean and not sticking to the dough.
6. Continue with this process till all dough is used.
7. Now go back over half of the cookies and cut a small hole in the middle.
8. Spoon 1-2 tsp jam into the middle of the cookie and lightly spread it out to
cover ¾ of the cookie. Leaving just a little room on the edge of the cookie all
around.
9. Place a cookie with a hole in it on top and gently press so the jam comes out the
top a little and just reaches the sides of the cookie.
10. Place the tray of cookies into the dehydrator to dry at 115f for 8 hours or until
they have reached the firmness you desire.
11. From here, you could let them cool and then dip the sides in chocolate or just
keep them as is.
12. These will store well at room temp for 2 days or in an airtight container in the
fridge for a week or so.

Swiss Roll
Ingredients
US Customary – Metric

Pastry (Wet)
 1 courgette (zucchini) (peeled)
 ¼ cup maple syrup
 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
 ¼ teaspoon salt
 2 cups water
 2 tablespoons coconut oil
 ½ cup xylitol

Pastry (Dry)
 ¼ cup psyllium husk (for colour I prefer husk to powder)
 ½ cup oat flour
 ½ cup ground almonds
 ½ cup coconut flour
 ½ cup cashews

Berry Jam
 3 cups raspberries (or other berries)
 ⅓ cup xylitol
 1 tbsp lemon juice
 1 tsp vanilla extract or powder

Icing / Frosting
 ½ cup coconut butter (melted/softened)
 2 tsp xylitol
 ½ cup warm water

Instructions

Pastry (Wet)
1. Blend all ingredients in a high-speed blender until smooth.

Pastry (Dry)
1. Grind all ingredients in a food processor.
2. Whilst the food processor is running, add the blended mixture from the first
stage.
3. Spread about 1/4" thick evenly onto a dehydrator nonstick sheet.
4. Dehydrate at 115 degrees F for 6 to 8 hours. After the first couple of hours you
should be able to flip it off the nonstick sheet so it dries directly on the mesh
tray.
5. You're looking to get a very pliable and slightly moist pastry inside. I like to
trim the pastry during drying to get off-cuts for testing pliability and moisture,
so I know it's ready for the jam.

Berry Jam
1. *It’s best to use frozen fruit because as they thaw, they release their own juices
and make for a much nicer jam consistency and flavour If using frozen berries:
2. Combine all ingredients in a suitably sized mixing bowl. Can be crushed by
hand or blended.
3. Put the entire bowl in the dehydrator, at the lowest temp setting, for 8 hours or
more, stirring every couple of hours. You're looking for it to thicken up to the
point it's spreadable like jam.
4. Allow to cool at room temp before storing in an airtight container in the fridge
for up to 1 month.
Icing / Frosting
1. In a blender combine the manna and stevia and get it turning over in the blades
2. With the blender running on low, slowly drizzle in the water
3. At this stage, you can use this as a glaze on cookies, donuts and the like or you
can cool it in the fridge and then put it in a piping bag and use it as an icing on
cakes, muffins, etc
4. If you are making this ahead of time and will need to re-melt it, simply do so by
popping it in the dehydrator on 105F for 10 minutes or so until it melts down.
Do not overheat or you may lose the emulsification and the oils will separate
5. Store it in the fridge in an airtight jar for up to 10 days

Rolling
1. Spread the jam to cover the pastry. I like to return it to the dehydrator for an
hour or so to make sure the jam is dry to the touch.
2. If your icing is fairly liquid you'll want to cool off the pastry and jam in the
fridge, otherwise your icing will melt further and will leak out when rolling.
3. When ready spread your icing on to the jam.
4. Using parchment under the roll carefully lift up the edge and start to roll away
from you. Using parchment tends to help avoid cracking of the pastry.
5. Place in the freezer for an hour or so, to enable you to cut it cleanly.

seed) so they are broken down but still a little chunky.
2. Separate out the gem lettuce into individual leaves. Fill each one with some of
the seed mixture and sprinkle with hemp seed.
3. You could also make a little pico de gallo to add to this dish, as we've done in
the photos. Even just a few tomatoes finely chopped would be a great addition
if you're not into making the full pico.

Raw Mexican Tomato Soup


Soup
 2 cups tomatoes
 ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes (soaked for an hour)
 ½ avocado
 ½ cup spinach
 1 tbsp red onion
 0.5 ozs cilantro (coriander) (lower stalks separated from leafy tops) (1/2 a
bunch)
 8 mint leaves
 1 jalapeño (or adjust amount depending on how spicy you like it)
 3/4 tsp salt
 ½ clove garlic
 2 tsp onion powder
 2 medjool dates
 ½ tsp coriander
 1 tsp cumin
 1 tbsp lime juice

To Serve
 0.3 ozs chives (1/4 of a bunch)
 1/2 avocado
 1 spring onion (green onion)
 0.3 ozs cilantro (coriander) (1/4 bunch)
 1 red chilli
Instructions

Soup
1. Optionally set aside some of the leafy coriander tops and the mint leaves. We’ll
be blending these in at the end, so we get a speckled look to the soup; if we were to
blend them all in from the start it changes the colour of the soup and makes it a bit
murky, rather than the beautiful red it can be.
2. Blend all the other ingredients in a high-speed blender until smooth, then add
the remaining fresh herbs and blend for just a couple of seconds to break them
down.

To Serve
1. Finely chop the chives, dice the avocado small, finely slice the spring onion
and red chili at an angle and roughly chop the coriander. Arrange these on top of the
soup in a way that looks pleasing to you.
2. Of course, you can use the picture for reference; you’ll notice we also used a
few stalks of salad cress and a viola flower.
Raw Caesar Salad
Dressing
 1/2 cup cashews (preferably soaked for 20 minutes)
 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds (soaked 4 to 8 hours)
 2 tbsp lemon juice
 1/4 cup water
 1 clove garlic
 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
 1/2 tsp tamari
 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar
 2 tbsp olive oil
 Pinch white pepper
 1/4 tsp salt
 2 nori sheets (or 2 teaspoons dulse/nori flakes)

Salad
 2 romaine lettuce (torn)
 1 avocado (diced)
 3.5 ozs cherry tomatoes (halved)

Croutons
 2 cups almonds (soaked 4 to 8 hours)
 2 tbsp olive oil
 1 cup ground flax seed
 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
 2 tbsp fresh rosemary (finely chopped)
 2 cloves garlic
 1 cup water
 1 tsp salt
 2 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions

Dressing
1. With your soaked, drained and rinsed cashews ready to go, pop them in your
blender and add the remaining dressing ingredients, but not the nori/seaweed yet.
2. Give this a good blend until it’s smooth.
3. Tear up your nori and/or dulse if you’re using it and ‘pulse’ it in until it’s all
broken down, but so you can see flecks of it within the dressing.
4. Also, if you have any preserved lemon available, a little bit of the brine and
pulp from them, as an addition to this recipe, is really great. Don’t worry if you
haven’t got preserved lemons though, the recipe as it is will be awesome.

Salad
1. Tear up your romaine lettuce into a bowl, throw in diced avocado and the
tomatoes. Add some dressing. Toss this until all the leaves are covered and serve
immediately.

For the Croutons


1. This is really simple if you have a food processor. All you’ll need to do is grind
all the ingredients in a food processor until it forms a dough.
2. If it doesn’t stick together and only breaks down into crumbs, it’s just because
your soaked almonds didn’t take up a lot of water, so add a few tablespoons of
water and grind again. Repeat this until you get to a point where you have a
dough that will spread easily onto a non-stick dehydrator tray.
3. Spread this mixture evenly into a square on the sheet. You’re going to
dehydrate this as it is, for 4 hours at 115 degrees F, until you can invert the
whole thing on to another dehydrator tray without the non-stick sheet. In this
process you’ll also want to take a sharp knife and score the large square into
lots of smaller squares, which will be the size of the final croutons. I like about
3cm squares – about an inch – and pop back into the dehydrator for a further 12
hours or so.
4. As these are completely dried out when done, they don’t need to be
refrigerated, they can just be kept out at room temperature, but in an airtight
container.

 1/3 oz cilantro (coriander)
 ½ tsp lime juice

Instructions

1. Blend the tomatoes, sundried tomatoes, soak water, yoghurt, ginger, lime juice,
tamari, curry powder, pepper and chili flakes. Add 2 tablespoons of the chickpeas for
extra creaminess and blend again.
2. In another bowl mix the yellow pepper, onion, green fine beans, coriander, lime
juice and salt. Massage by hand to soften the veg a little.

spaghetti.
4. Mix the fettuccine with the veggies and serve in a bowl with a generous portion

Raw Vegan Sushi


Marinated Mushrooms
 7 shiitake mushrooms (or chestnut)
 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
 3 tbsp olive oil
 2 tbsp tamari

Parsnip Rice
 2 parsnips (medium size)
 1/2 cup pistachios
 ½ tsp salt
 4 chives
 2 tbsp black sesame seeds
 2 tsp olive oil

Miso Dipping Sauce


 ⅓ cup barley or red miso
 2 tbsp umeboshi plum vinegar
 1 inch ginger peeled
 2 tbsp maple syrup
 ½ clove garlic
 2 tbsp water
 1 ½ tbsp sesame oil (cold pressed)
 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil (toasted)

Assembly
 2 nori sheets (untoasted)
 ¼ red bell pepper
 ½ avocado
 0.1 ozs Salad cress (works out to be a small handful)

Instructions

Marinated Mushrooms
1. Wipe clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel and slice thinly. If you’re
using shiitake it’s best to cut away the stems and not use them as they can be a little
tough.
2. Add all ingredients to a bowl and allow to marinate, ideally for a few hours.
Shiitake mushrooms will go softer quicker than chestnut mushrooms, but if you
don’t have a few hours, you can ‘get away with’ marinating for just 30 minutes.
They won’t be as soft, but they will soak up a lot of flavour.
3. Will store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Parsnip Rice
1. Top, tail, peel and large dice the parsnip.
2. Place the parsnip, along with the other ingredients, in a food processor and
pulse until the parsnip breaks down to be ‘rice-like’.

Miso Dipping Sauce


1. Blend all ingredients in a high-speed blender until smooth.
2. Will store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks

Assembly
1. Place the nori sheet on a rolling mat, with the edge of both (the ones that are
closest to you) lined up evenly.
2. Place a little of each ingredient along the middle of the rice, from left to right,
being sure not to overfill it, which will make the whole thing more difficult to
roll.
3. Pick up the edge of the nori and mat that is closest to you – the ones that you
lined up evenly – and start to roll the nori forwards. Once you have everything
contained, you can pull it all tight, so everything holds together when you cut
it. You can see my video on Youtube here on how to roll this kind of sushi (it
will open a new window you click so you still have this here to refer to.

2. Add the psyllium and fermented flax and pulse in the blender just to
incorporate.
3. Transfer to a bowl and mix in the ground almonds and coconut flour by hand.
4. Allow the mix to sit 2 minutes, during this time it will firm up as the psyllium
and coconut flour absorb moisture.
5. Form the dough into 2 small loaves and dehydrate on a nonstick sheet for 8-10
hours at 115F. Remove from nonstick and dry again for 8-10 hours. Slice the
bread and dehydrate again to dry the inside, about 2 hours.

Alternative method to form using a tin


1. Alternatively, line a baking tin with a strip of greaseproof paper and press the
dough in. Use a little water to smooth the edges and get the look that you want.
2. Dry at 115F for 8-10 hours. Remove from the tin by pulling up on the strips of
greaseproof. If it’s stuck, be sure there are no dry bits on top sticking to the
mould.
3. Dry again for 8-10 hours before slicing and drying one last time for an hour or
so to get the inside dry to the amount you like.

Hemp Granola

 ½ cup cacao nibs


 ½ cup mulberries
 1 cup brazil nuts
 1 cup hemp hearts
 ½ cup coconut sugar
 1 tsp vanilla powder
 3 cups coconut flakes
 ¼ cups vanilla protein powder
 ½ cup goji berries
 ¼ cup lucuma
 ⅓ cup water

Instructions

1. Grind all ingredients, except the water, in food processor until slightly broken
down but still a bit chunky.
2. Add water and pulse to combine.
3. Transfer to a non-stick lined dehydrator tray and dry on 118 degrees F for 10

Matcha Truffles
 1/4 cup coconut butter
 1 cup water hot/warm
 4 oz cacao paste baking chocolate or your favourite chocolate – shaved
 1/2 cup xylitol coconut sugar
 2 tsp lemon juice
 2 tsp matcha powder
 1/2 tsp vanilla powder
 1 tsp tamari optional for added depth

Instructions

1. It’s important the water is warm/hot and the chocolate is shaved before you
start this recipe.
2. The liquid being hot and the chocolate being shaved will mean that the mixture
melts very quickly and can properly emulsify in the blender.
3. Combine all ingredients in a high speed blender and process, starting on low-
medium and then increase to full power until all ingredients are smooth and
creamy.
4. Pour the contents into a large bowl so the ganache can set quickly. If the bowl
is tall and narrow, it will take longer for the mix to set. Create as much surface
area as possible for faster setting.
5. Leave the mix uncovered at room temp until it’s completely cooled. Wrap with
plastic wrap, or transfer to a container, and place in the fridge for a few hours to
set completely.
6. Once set, dust your hands with a little cacao powder and roll the mix into small
balls.
7. Don’t use too much cacao powder or the chocolate won’t stick to them when
you go to enrobe them. Alternatively, you can simply dust them in matcha and
call it a day.
8. To enrobe them, place them back in the fridge to set up again while you get the
chocolate ready. You can garnish them with chopped pistachios nuts or simply
roll in matcha tea powder.

Regularly dipping your fingers in a bowl of water helps with this.
3. Place bases onto a mesh dehydrator sheet and dehydrate at 115° F for 2 hours.
They should now be firm enough to remove from the tart cases. Continue to
dehydrate them for a further 6 hours.
4. Tart cases should be approx 11 cm wide and no more than about 1 cm high, to
allow the filling (details to follow) to dehydrate inside.
5. Blend all filling #1 ingredients in a high-powered blender until smooth.
6. Massage all filling #2 ingredients except the mushrooms together, until the
spinach has broken down to a lightly steamed texture.
7. Slice the mushrooms and add to the bowl.
8. Add the blended filling #1 mixture to the bowl and stir to mix.
9. Once combined, pour this mixture into the bases. You’ll need to slightly
overfill the bases as the filling will reduce slightly in the dehydrator.
10. Dehydrate at 115° F for 6 to 8 hours.
11. Serve warm from the dehydrator with a green salad.

wanted to experiment with lightly toasting the bread in a toaster oven, still
keeping it mainly raw inside, but with a bit of crunch and warmth and it worked
so well.

 1 tbsp capers optional
 1 clove garlic
 1 tsp olive oil
 1/2 tsp lemon juice
 1/4 tsp black pepper or to taste

Instructions

Almond cheese
1. The easiest way to peel almonds is to boil water in a kettle, then transfer to a
bowl with the almonds in and leave for a minute or so. That way the skins will come
off easily.
2. Blend the almonds and probiotics with water in a high-speed blender until
smooth.
3. Place the mixture in a nut milk bag, in strainer with some kind of weight on
top, such as a glass jar filled with water.
4. Cover with a tea towel and leave to sit at room temperature for at least 24 but
no longer than 48 hours.
5. Once culturing is complete stir or process with salt and nutritional yeast

Pesto
1. Pulse all ingredients in a food processor until broken down, but leave some
texture to the finished pesto.

Sun-dried tomato pesto


1. Blend all ingredients in a highspeed blender until broken down, but still a little
chunky.
Olive tapenade
1. Grind everything in a food processor, without making the pieces too small.

Assembly
1. Line a small loaf tin with baking parchment cut to size. Most terrine recipes
will use plastic wrap for this, but I’m not keen on having plastic wrap touch my food,
because of the chemicals on the plastic.
2. Start at the bottom of the pan with some cheese. You will be doing 4 layers of
cheese, so it’s a great idea to split all the cheese you have into 4 equal parts.
3. Next spoon in the olive tapenade, then more cheese, then the tomato, more
cheese, pesto, and then the final layer of cheese.
4. Place in the fridge for 24 hours to firm up, ready to cut and serve.
5. Serve with a nice simple green leaf salad.
6. This will serve 6 to 8 people, and will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Jerk Spiced Sunflower Seeds


Jerk Seasoning
 1 tbsp allspice
 1/4 tsp cinnamon ground
 1 tsp red pepper flakes
 1 tsp dried thyme
 1/4 tsp cloves ground
 1/4 tsp cumin ground
 1/2 tsp salt
 1 tsp black pepper freshly ground

Main
 2 cups dry sunflower seeds soaked for 8 hours and rinsed
 1/4 cup tamari
 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Instructions

1. Mix all the jerk seasoning ingredients really well.


2. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir, so that all the sunflower seeds have
an even covering. If you are using a pre-bought jerk seasoning, you will need 3
tbsp of it.
3. For the dehydrator version, lay the seeds out on a nonstick sheet and dehydrate
for 8 to 12 hours at 46 degrees C (115 degrees F)..
4. For the oven version, lay the seeds on a piece of parchment in a baking tray and
place in a pre-heated oven at 150 degrees C (300 degrees F) for 40 minutes,
stirring the seeds every 10 minutes.
5. Once completely dry store at room temperature in a sealed container. If they’re
completely dry they’ll be good for several weeks in a sealed container.
Sundried Tomato Salad Croutons

 3 tbsp olive oil


 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes roughly chopped
 2 cups sprouted buckwheat
 1 1/2 cups almonds soaked
 2 courgette zucchini, medium size, peeled, roughly chopped
 1 apple cored and roughly chopped
 2 tbsp lemon juice
 1/4 cup basil leaves
 1 tbsp rosemary destalked
 1 onion large size
 2 cloves garlic
 1/2 cup flax meal
 1 tsp salt

Instructions

1. Soak the sundried tomatoes for around 30 minutes until they’re soft. Save the
water for later.
2. Combine all the ingredients (apart from the sundried tomato soak water) in a
large bowl and mix by hand. The reason you’re doing this is because you’ll be
processing them in two batches, as the food processor won’t be big enough for
one batch.
3. So in a food processor, grind half of the mixture, adding a little of the sundried
soak water to get it to mix into a batter. Repeat with the second half of the
mixture and combine both back into the bowl, mixing well by hand.
4. Divide the mixture between two square dehydrator trays and spread evenly, to
about 5mm (0.2 inches) or slightly thicker if you prefer.
5. Dehydrate for 4 hours at 115 degrees F, then remove them from the nonstick
dehydrator sheets, score them into squares, then return to the dehydrator mesh
tray for around 8 hours, or until they are the desired texture.
6. Store in a sealed container. If you dehydrated them completely dry, they can be
left out of the fridge and will keep for several weeks. If they have any wetness
to them at all, store in the fridge for up to a week.
Chocolate Breakfast Rolls

 1.7 oz almond butter (or any nut butter)
 2 cups zucchini (peeled and chopped)
 1/2 cup water
 1/2 cup cacao powder
 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
 1/2 cup coconut sugar
 1/4 cup sesame oil (cold pressed – could also use hazelnut or walnut oil)
 1/2 cup psyllium husk
 1/3 cup almonds (or hazelnuts) (whichever using, make sure they're 'activated'
by soaking and dehydrating)
 3/4 cup ground almonds
 1 1/2 tbsp coconut flour
 1/2 cup hazelnuts (or almonds) (whichever using, make sure they're 'activated'
by soaking and dehydrating) (Processed into a crumb consistency – optional)

Simple Peach Compote


 2 g peaches (Ripe. Stoned & diced)
 1/3 cup xylitol (Or coconut sugar)
 1 pinch sea salt

Instructions

Chocolate Breakfast Rolls


1. In a high speed blender combine the first set of ingredients and blend on high
until smooth.
2. Add the second set of ingredients (psyllium and activated nuts (optional, but
recommended for texturand pulse in the blender just to break the nuts down a
bit and mix through the psyllium.
3. In a bowl, mix together the ground almonds and coconut flour with your hands.
4. Add the contents of the blender to the mixing bowl with the flours and mix well
with your hands to combine.
5. Allow the mix to sit 2-5 minutes, during this time it will firm up as the psyllium
and coconut flour absorb moisture.
6. Dampen your hands and form the dough into a large ball and press it down to
the thickness you’d like the rolls – I suggest no thicker than 2 ½ inches.
7. Scatter the chopped activated nuts over the rolls to coat the tops and press
gently so they adhere.
8. Dampen the cookie cutter or ring mould you are using to shape them and cut
out as many as you can from that first ball – place them on a nonstick lined
dehydrator tray.
9. Repeat until all dough is used – sprinkle with nuts each time before cutting.
10. Dry for 10-14 hours at 115f, or until the rolls are crisp outside and soft inside.
11. Store the rolls in an airtight container in the fridge and dehydrate for 30 mins –
1 hour before eating – this will make them warm and also crisp the outside
again.

Simple Peach Compote


1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix together with your hands.

How to Build Your Own Raw Chocolate


Truffles
 1 cup mango or dried fruit of choice
 1 cup medjool dates
 1/2 cup nut butter
 1/2 cup cacao powder
 1/4 cup coconut sugar powdered
 1 tbsp vanilla powder
 1 tsp tamari
 1/3 cup cacao paste melted

Instructions

1. If your nut butter is very thick (as all the oil is gone) then you may need to add
a little more liquid ( fruit paste or cacao paste ) to this recipe, otherwise it could end
up being very heavy.
2. Soak your dried fruit of choice in enough water to cover for 1 hour or until
softened. You can use warm water to speed this process up. If the dates aren’t
naturally moist, soak them 1 hour in warm water, as per the dried fruit.
3. Strain the fruit and reserve the soak liquid for blending.
4. In a high speed blender combine the soaked fruit and dates and blend into a
paste using as little water as necessary to get the paste consistency.
5. Transfer to the bowl of your food processor and add the next set of ingredients.
Process to combine well.
6. Add the cacao paste and pulse to combine.
7. Transfer to a container and place in the fridge until firm enough to roll, about 1-
2 hours. It can remain in the fridge longer, if you need to make it ahead of time.
You can also set in the freezer if you want them faster.
8. Once ready to roll, powder your hands very lightly in cacao powder and roll the
mixture into small balls.
9. Place on a greaseproof paper lined tray or excalibur tray lined with a nonstick
sheet.
10. Once all mix is rolled, pop in the fridge to set – about 15-20 minutes.

 1 cup orange juice
Instructions

1. Grind all ingredients except the date paste ingredients in a food processor until
broken down to desired consistency.
2. Blend dates and orange juice together in a highspeed blender until smooth. You
can add a little water to get it to blend if you don’t have a strong enough
blender.
3. Mix first set of ingredients in a bowl with the date paste.
4. Dehydrate overnight, for around 8 to 12 hours at 115 degrees F.
5. Store in a sealed container for up to 2 weeks.

Simple Ganache Tart


Crust
 1 1/2 cups almonds pecans or hazelnuts, activated
 3 tbsp coconut sugar
 1 tbsp lucuma optional
 1 tsp vanilla powder or extract
 1 tsp cinnamon
 3 tbsp coconut oil or cacao butter, melted
 2 tbsp water

Ganache
 7.7 oz cacao paste or your favourite chocolate, melted
 1/2 cup nut butter or seed butter
 1/3 cup maple syrup or honey
 1 tsp vanilla powder or ½ tsp vanilla extract
 1 cup warm water

Instructions

1. Process all crust ingredients, except water and coconut oil, into a food
processor until crumbly, but still with lots of texture.
2. Add coconut oil or cacao butter and water and process just to combine.
3. Line a spring-form tart tin with cling film and press the crust in, bringing it up
the sides, if that is the type of base you desire. Press the crust so it’s rather
compacted.
4. Set in the fridge or freezer for 15 minutes.
5. In a blender, combine all the ganache ingredients except for the water on low-
med speed.
6. With the blender running, slowly drizzle in the warm water and watch it
emulsify (because it’s fun to watch).
7. Pour into the crust and set in the fridge (4 hours) or freezer (1-2 hours).
Cinnamon Raisin Protein Bars

 1/4 cup coconut oil melted


 1/4 cup coconut butter softened

Instructions

1. Put all of the ingredients into a food processor and pulse until the mixture sticks
together well enough to put into a silicon mould. Making sure you have the coconut
oil melted and the coconut butter softened is the key to this.
2. Mould bars to the shape and size mould you have and store in a sealed
container in the fridge. I like to eat them when they’ve been out of the fridge
for about an hour, so they’ve softened.

Five Minute Muesli

filling
1. Grind all ingredients in a food processor until desired consistency is achieved.

Dip
1. Blend all ingredients in a highs peed blender until smooth.

Assembly
1. Cut the nori sheet so you have a square.
2. Cut again to halve the square, so you have two strips.
3. Lay the courgette strips in some paper kitchen towel for a few seconds to
remove the surface moisture. Pat them dry and then transfer to the nori, laying
them length ways.
4. Place the avocado strips diagonally from the bottom left-hand corner (the Nori
sheets should have the shortest side closest to you, so that the longest sides
extend away from you).
5. Place some of the sunflower seed filling on the avocado, finishing off with the
same of the green leaves and chives.
6. Roll in a cone shape and seal the nori with a little water, so it sticks.
Aubergine Macadamia Pesto Ravioli

Wilted Spinach
 1/2 cup spinach
 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

Aubergine wrappers
1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and leave to stand for five to ten minutes.
2. After 5 to 10 minutes, the slices should be much softer and you’ll be able to
squeeze some of the water out of them. I do this by picking up a handful,
squeezing them, then carefully untangling them from each other.

Ravioli filling #1 – rocket (arugula) pesto


1. Grind all ingredients in a food processor, leaving it a little chunky. Can be kept
in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Ravioli filling #2 – macadamia nut cheese


1. Blend macadamias, water and probiotics in a high-speed blender until smooth.
2. Place the mixture in a strainer that has been lined with cheesecloth or in a nut
milk bag and place a weight on top. The weight should not be so heavy that it
pushes the cheese through the cloth, but heavy enough to gently start to press
the liquid out.
3. Leave to culture in a warm place for at least 24 but no longer than 48 hours.
4. At this point you can remove the ring mould and place in the refrigerator until
ready to serve. You can also remove the ring mould and then place in a
dehydrator at 105 degrees F for 24 hours to get a rind.
Making the ravioli filling
1. Mix the rocket pesto and macadamia cheese.
2. Place a little of the filling on each piece of aubergine, making a parcel with
another piece on top of that.
3. Dehydrate these for anything between 3 to 6 hours at 115 degrees F. I prefer
them on the softer side at around 4 hours.

Sweet tomato sauce


1. Blend all ingredients in a high speed blender.

Wilted Spinach
1. Just before serving massage the salt into the spinach and in a few seconds,

 2 1/2 oz shiitake mushrooms
 3 1/2 oz mung bean sprouts
 1 1/2 oz mangetout peas

 1 cup water or vegetable stock
 1/2 oz ginger peeled
 1/3 oz lemongrass stalk
 1 red chili
 1/2 clove garlic
 1/4 tsp turmeric
 1/4 tsp fennel seed
 1/8 tsp clove
 1/4 tsp nutmeg
 1/4 tsp cumin
 1/2 tsp salt
 1 tsp lime juice
 1 tsp tamari
 1 tsp apple cider vinegar

Garnish
 1/2 tsp cashews or almonds, crushed
 1/2 tsp dulse or any dry sea vegetable flakes
 1/2 tsp hemp seed hearts
 1/2 tsp coriander cilantro

Instructions

1. Spiralise the courgette (zucchini) and squash into noodles and transfer with a
bowl with a few pinches of salt and the cold pressed oil.
2. Slice the shiitake mushrooms into strips and marinate in a splash of apple cider
vinegar and tamari.

The sauce
1. Blend all ingredients in a highspeed blender until smooth.

To serve
1. Place the noodles, shiitakes, mung beans, mangetout in a serving bowl.

Chipotle Cashew Mayo


 1 cup cashews
 3/4 cup water
 1 tsp probiotics
 2 tbsp coconut butter melted
 1/2 cup coconut oil melted
 1/2 tsp salt
 2 tsp chipotle powder
 1/2 tsp cumin
 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Instructions

1. Blend the cashews, water and probiotics until smooth. Transfer to a bowl,
cover, and leave in a warm place for 14 to 16 hours. This is the process of culturing
the cashews; you’ll know it’s done when you put a spoon through the mixture and it
has tiny air bubbles. It should also taste (and smell) slightly sour.
2. You’re going to transfer this back over to the blender and blend in the
remaining ingredients until smooth again. It’s really important that the coconut
oil is melted to the point that it’s clear and that the coconut butter is loose and
slightly runny (it will never go clear like the oil).
3. Place in the fridge until you’re ready to serve. It will firm up a little in the
fridge, but if it’s too firm for you, use a little less coconut oil next time, or just
take it out of the fridge about 1/2 and hour before you use it.

like’.
5. Combine the mango salsa ingredients in a bowl and serve with the mushrooms

 3 tbsp psyllium powder
Instructions

1. Blend the olive oil, peeled courgette, water, onion, nutritional yeast, lemon
juice and salt in a highspeed blender.
2. Grind the chia flour, almond flour/pulp and psyllium powder in a food
processor for a few seconds, then pour in the blended mixture from step one,
grinding until a batter is formed.
3. Spread the batter on 2 nonstick dehydrator sheets about ½ cm (⅕ of an inch)
thick.
4. Dehydrate for around 4 hours at 105 degrees F.
5. Remove the nonstick sheet and cut the bread into 8 individual slices (4 per tray)
and return to the dehydrator, just on the mesh sheets this time, for another 8
hours, or until you’re happy with the texture.

Smashed Chickpea & Sweetcorn Salad


First set
 3/4 cup cashews soaked 20 minutes and rinsed
 1/2 tsp salt
 1 tsp lemon juice
 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
 1/2 cup water

2nd set
 1 1/2 cups sprouted chickpeas garbanzo beans
 2 stalks celery small, finely diced
 1 cucumber approx. 3 inches or 8cm, finely diced
 3 tbsp red onion finely diced
 2 tbsp parsley minced
 1 cup organic sweetcorn
 1/8 tsp cayenne
 1/4 cup sea veg salad or more if you’d like
 1/8 tsp Himalayan salt
 1/8 tsp cracked pepper

Instructions

1. Blend the first set of ingredients (cashews, salt, lemon juice, apple cider
vinegar and water) in a high speed blender.
2. In a bowl, crush the sprouted chickpeas with a fork or potato masher, leaving
some texture to them. Some people digest chickpeas better when they have
been steamed for 5 minutes first. If this is you, still sprout them, then steam
them.
3. If you’re in a pinch, or can’t imagine doing this, you can use pre-packaged
ones. If you’re going this route, get organic and if you can get them in a pouch
or box, rather than a can, you’ll avoid the toxicity that can come from canned
goods.
4. Add the remaining ingredients, along with the blended cashews, to the bowl
with the chickpeas and mix with a fork.
5. Serve on a lightly dressed greens. I just like to use a little olive oil and lemon
juice to dress the greens.

Matcha Cheesecake, Cacao Soil, Mango Jam


Base
 2 cups pecans soaked and rinsed
 3 tbsp coconut sugar
 1 tbsp coconut oil melted
 1 tbsp lacuma
 3 tbsp cacao powder
 1 pinch salt
 1 pinch vanilla powder

Filling
 2 cups cashews soaked
 1 cup water
 1 tsp probiotics
 2 tbsp lemon juice
 3/4 cup xylitol or raw cane sugar
 1/2 tsp vanilla powder
 3 tsp matcha powder the highest quality you can find
 1 pinch salt
 3/4 cup coconut oil melted

Cacao soil
 1 cup walnuts
 1 tbsp tahini
 1 cup dates soft
 1/4 cup cashews
 1/2 tsp salt
 1/2 tsp vanilla powder
 1/4 cup cacao powder
Mango jam
 1 cup dried mango soaked overnight

Instructions

1. Grind all base ingredients in a food processor until crumbly. Press in to a 9″


spring form pan, or 2 smaller pans for a similar size slice to the one pictured.
2. For the filling, blend the cashews, water and probiotics in a highspeed blender
until smooth.
3. Transfer to a bowl or container that you can cover, then sit it in a warm place
overnight or fir up to 16 hours. You’ll know it’s cultured enough when you run
a spoon through it and see tiny bubbles. It should also have a slightly sour taste.
4. Once you’re happy with it, transfer to a food processor, along with the lemon
juice, xylitol, vanilla powder, match powder, salt and coconut oil. Make sure
the coconut oil is warm when you add it and that the cashew mixture itself isn’t
cold (it hasn’t just come out of the fridge). This is because we don’t wan’t the
coconut oil to firm up and seize the whole mixture, which makes the next step
very tricky.
5. Pour your filling on top of the base in the spring-form pans, then place into the
fridge overnight to set. If your cheesecake is still a little softer than you’d like it
to be, place the whole thing in the freezer for a couple of hours and remove 20
minutes before slicing.
6. For the Cacao soil, grind cashews and walnuts into a flour in the food processor
first, then add the remaining ingredients and process again until the dates are
completely broken down.
7. For the mango jam, blend mango in a high-speed blender, using as much of the
soak water as you need, to get the consistency you want.

Lychee Ceviche with Smoked Cashew Cheese


Lychee ceviche
 1 cup lychee meat 6 lychees = ¼ cup

 1 tsp probiotic powder
 1/2 tsp salt
 1 tsp lime juice
 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
 2 tsp onion powder
 1 tsp garlic powder
 1/2 tsp smoked paprika

Instructions
Lychee ceviche

1. Mix all ingredients except avocado in a bowl.


2. As you can see from the pictures, I used rambutan instead of lychee, because
despite searching high and low, I couldn’t find lychees.
Smoked cashew cheese
1. Blend cashew nuts with water and probiotic powder and leave covered in a
warm place overnight to culture.
2. You’ll know it’s ready when you put a spoon through it and see small air
bubbles that dissolve.

Transfer to a food processor and add in salt, lime juice, nutritional yeast, onion
powder, garlic powder and smoked paprika.

3. Mix this in the food processor for about 30 seconds, so everything is


combined.I like to make this at least a couple of days before I need it, so I can
firm it up a little in the fridge.

To serve
1. Smear the cashew cheese on the plate.
2. Add the lychee ceviche on top with the diced avocado.

Garlic & Onion Naan Bread


1st set
 1 courgette zucchini, peeled
 1/2 tsp salt
 2 cups water
 2 tbsp sesame oil cold pressed
 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
 1 tbsp onion powder
 1 tsp garlic powder

2nd set
 1/4 cup psyllium husk
 1/2 cup oat flour
 1/2 cup almonds ground
 1/2 cup coconut flour
 1/2 cup cashews
 1/4 cup lucuma

Instructions

1. Blend the first set of ingredients in a high-speed blender.


2. Grind the second set of ingredients in a food processor until the cashews are
ground to flour.
3. With the food processor turned on, pour in the mixture from the blender slowly,
so that the 2 combine thoroughly.
4. Transfer to a bowl and leave to stand for a few minutes, so that it thickens up.
5. You’re now ready to spread into 3 to 4 individual naan breads on a nonstick
dehydrator sheet, around 1cm (⅓”) thick. I like to make the outside edge a little
thicker than that.
6. Dehydrate at 115 degrees F for around 3 to 4 hours, until you can turn them
over, removing the nonstick sheet to complete dehydration for another 3 to 4
hours.
7. There’s a real sweet spot for dehydration here, where they’re still slightly moist
inside, making them more spongy. You can always make one really small piece
when spreading them out, so you can use to test how dry they’re getting.
8. Optionally, you can bend the bread about an hour before it’s finished, so that
the cracks appear in it. I think this makes it much more visually appealing.

Fennel Chia Seed Crackers with Rocket
(Arugula) Pesto

Crackers
 3 fennel bulbs
 4 apples
 1/2 lemon
 3 tomatoes medium size
 4 c;loves garlic
 3/4 tbsp salt
 1 tbsp dill
 1 1/2 cup chia seed dry
Rocket (arugula) pesto
 7 oz rocket arugula
 2 cloves garlic minced
 1/2 tsp salt
 1/2 tsp black pepper
 1/4 cup olive oil
 1/2 cup pine nuts
 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
 2 tsp lemon juice

Instructions

Crackers
1. Juice the fennel, apple, lemon and tomato. Transfer this to a blender with the
garlic and salt, then blend on full speed.
2. Once the garlic has been blended in, add the dill and blend on a lower setting to
break up the dill without blending it all into one colour, so the specks of green
still show through. This will give a more attractive cracker in the end.
3. In a bowl, combine the blended mixture with the chia and let that sit for 30
minutes. It will thicken up as the chia seeds go much more gelatinous. It’s
better to juice all the ingredients as we’ve done here and soak the chia, rather
than just blend all the ingredients up, as you might do with flax crackers,
because too much fibre in chia crackers will stop them from crisping up.
4. Spread this mixture as thinly as possible over two nonstick dehydrator sheets,
covering the whole sheets.
5. Dehydrate for 4 hours at 115 degrees F and then remove the nonstick sheet,
transferring to a cutting board. Cut the crackers to the desired shape and size,
which is easier at this stage, now they have been drying for 4 hours.
6. Return the individual crackers to the dehydrator, just on a mesh sheet, and
continue to dehydrate at 115 degrees F for 14 hours.
7. Store for up to a week in a sealed container. If they go a little soft, they can be
crisped up again in the dehydrator at 115 degrees for a few hours.
Rocket (arugula) pesto
1. Grind all ingredients in a food processor, leaving it a little chunky.
2. Can be kept in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Mole Truffles

 9 oz almond butter raw


 1 1/2 oz pumpkin seeds soaked, rinsed and dehydrated
 2 1/2 oz raisins
 3 1/2 oz water water used to soak the raisins
 1 1/2 oz maple syrup
 2 tsp nama shoyu
 1 1/2 tsp cumin seeds whole, ground in a mortar and pestle
 2 ancho chilies de-seeded and soaked with the raisins
 2 tsp chipotle pepper de-seeded and roughly chopped
 1 1/5 oz cacao powder
 1 tsp vanilla extract or 1 vanilla bean, scraped
 1/8 tsp nutmeg grated
 1 tbsp cinnamon powder
 1 pinch cayenne pepper or smoked hot paprika, optional
 8 oz raw dark chocolate 78% Ooosha dark chocolate or a high-quality raw dark
chocolate of your choice

Instructions

1. Soak the chipotle, anchos and raisins in enough water to cover for 4 hours or
until soft.
2. I made my own almond butter by using my Vitamix. Put 250 g of soaked and
dehydrated almonds in the Vitamix. Turn the blender on high speed and, using
the tamper stick, push the nuts into the blades until you have reached a nice
smooth consistency. Be aware that the blender conducts a fair bit of heat, so
you want to really use the tamper stick to keep things moving and finish the
butter within a minute of blending. It’s best to cool the butter in the fridge or
freezer before proceeding with the rest of the recipe. This will keep the heat
down.
3. Add the remaining ingredients except the melted chocolate and blend like fury,
using the tamper stick to help you. Don’t add more liquid as it was change the
recipe completely. In the end, however, if you choose to add more liquid, then
you will need to also add a bit more chocolate to keep the consistency right.
4. Turn the mix out into a large mixing bowl, pour in the melted chocolate and
whisk it all to combine. At this stage you could also add some textures, like
cacao nibs or chopped pumpkin seeds, if you wanted textured truffles.
5. Cover with cling film; press the film right on top of the mix so it doesn’t create
a skin while it cools. Set in the fridge or freezer. The best thing to do is leave it
in the fridge overnight. This allows it to set slowly, and the flavours will
develop more. In fact, over the coming days the flavours will continue to
develop.
6. Finally, with cacao-dusted hands, roll the truffles into balls. Alternatively, you
can set the mix into silicon moulds, pop them out and then roll in chocolate. If
you choose to roll into balls, then don’t coat with powders as this will not allow
the chocolate to adhere. You could, however, roll them in chopped nuts and
then dip in chocolate for a nice underlying texture.
Waldorf Salad with Macadamia Blue Cheese

Toss, add the walnuts and toss the salad lightly again.
5. Transfer to your serving plates and then finish with a little of the macadamia
blue cheese. If you don’t have the macadamia blue cheese, a quick macadamia
Parmesan recipe can be made by grating 1/2 cup unsoaked macadamias on a
microplane and mixing in 2 teaspoons nutritional yeast and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
This looks great sprinkled over the top.

1. Take the ice cream cylinders from the freezer and let them soften slightly for a
few minutes. That way the next stage will work better.
2. Sandwich each of the cylinders between 2 pieces of the cacao crackles. You
may want to return them to the freezer at this point so the whole thing freezes
together as one.

 5 cups courgette or zucchini, peeled
 3 tbsp olive oil
 2 tsp lime juice
 1/2 tsp cayenne
 1 tsp coriander ground
 1/2 tsp salt
 1/4 cup flax meal

Filling
 5 cups white cabbage shredded
 6 spring onions scallions
 2 tsp cumin
 2 tsp coriander ground
 1/4 cup cold-pressed sesame oil
 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil optional
 1 tsp salt
 2 tbsp tamari or nama shoyu
 2 tsp lime juice
 2 cloves garlic crushed/minced
 2 red Thai chilies deseeded and minced
 2 tbsp agave
 3 tbsp tamarind paste optional
 1 cup coriander or cilantro, fresh, roughly chopped

Dipping sauce
 1 cucumber peeled
 1 mango skin & stone removed
 1/4 tsp salt
 1 tsp lime juice
 1 spring onion or green onion, finely chopped
 1 cup coriander or cilantro, fresh

Instructions

Wrappers
1. If you don't have a flax meal, you can take the flax seeds and ground them in a
high speed blender or coffee grinder to produce a fine flour.
2. Blend all ingredients except flax meal in a high-speed blender until smooth.
3. Add flax meal and blend again until smooth.
4. Pour mixture onto a nonstick dehydrator sheet and spread evenly into a square.
You can choose the size, but for the ones in the photo, the mixture was spread
26 cm x 26 cm square.
5. Dehydrate for 8 hours at 105 degrees F, or until able to peel off the sheet.
6. Once the dehydrator sheets are removed, return the wrappers to the dehydrator
for 30 minutes, until both sides are dry to the touch but still pliable.

Filling
1. To make tamarind paste, soak the tamarind in 1 cup water and break up with
your hands. Strain the mixture through a sieve, and you’re left with tamarind paste. It
should be roughly the consistency of watery yoghurt. You can also just buy tamarind
paste premade.
2. Combine all ingredients thoroughly in a bowl.

Dipping sauce
1. Blend all ingredients, except spring onions and coriander, until smooth.
2. Add most of the spring onion and all the coriander and pulse in.
3. Pour sauce into a small bowl and top with remaining spring onion.

Assembly
1. Cut each dehydrated wrapper, which should still be pliable, into 4 equal
squares.
2. Start with one of those smaller squares in front of you so that one corner is
close to you.
3. Place a good amount of the filling mixture into the centre of the square.
4. Fold up the corner that is closet to you into the centre, then fold up the left and
right corners so that you form an envelope.
5. You will need to wet the edges as you go along so they stick in place.
6. Fold down the final corner, as if you were closing an envelope, and use water
to stick it down. (You will find that you’ll get better at this the more you do.)
7. Place on a dehydrator mesh tray.
8. When all 8 are done, return to the dehydrator for a further 1 to 2 hours at 105
degrees F. Serve with dipping sauce.
9. Dehydrate any leftover cabbage mix until crispy; it makes a great addition to
any salad.

them in a powder or meal.
2. Then add the rest of the ingredients in a high-speed blender until smooth.
3. Spread in 6 even rounds on a dehydrator sheet, and dehydrate for a few hours
until they can be removed from the sheet. Dehydrate for a further 6 – 8 hours at
115 degrees F, or overnight until fully dried.

Cashew sour cream


1. Blend all ingredients, except the thyme, in a high-speed blender until smooth.
2. Add thyme and pulse until fully mixed in.

Pepper sauces
1. Mix the first part of the ingredients in a bowl and dehydrate for 6 – 8 hours at
115 degrees F.
2. Once removed from the dehydrator, place in a high-speed blender along with
the second part of the ingredients.
3. Blend until smooth. You may have to add more water, depending on how dry
your peppers got during dehydrating.
4. This recipe is for a red pepper sauce, if you want a yellow pepper sauce, you
can replace the red peppers for yellow peppers.

Assembly
1. Prepare spinach by mixing in a large bowl with salt and olive oil. Massage the
spinach until it wilts and takes on a lightly cooked appearance.
2. Cut open avocados and, using a spoon, remove the flesh from each half in
whole pieces. Cut each piece into a ‘fan’ by slicing them several times, 4/5ths
down the length, leaving them connected at the top. You should then be able to
fan them out.
3. Assemble by starting with a napoleon cracker, then adding a layer of spinach,
one of the sliced avocado halves, and finally some of the creamed cashews.
Repeat this for a second time and garnish with the pepper sauces.

Chocolate Raspberry Cake with Ginger
Chocolate Mousse

Base
 1/4 cup oat flour
 1/2 cup cashew flour
 2 tbsp cacao powder
 2 tbsp maple syrup
 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
 3 tbsp water
 1 tsp lemon juice
 1/8 tsp salt
 1 pack raspberries small, for the centre of the cake.

Mousse
 1 cup cashews
 1/4 cup coconut oil
 1/4 cup cacao powder
 6 tbsp maple syrup
 1/2 cup water
 1 tbsp ginger fresh
 1/2 tsp ginger ground
 1 tsp lemon juice
 2 tsp tamari or nama shoyu
 1/8 tsp salt

Decoration (optional)
 1/2 cup raspberries
 1 tbsp maple syrup
 1 tsp lemon juice

Instructions

1. Oat flour is simply raw oats that have been turned to flour in a coffee grinder or
Vitamix.
2. Cashew flour is made by grinding cashews in a food processor until they turn to
crumbs. You don’t need it as fine as the oat flour.
3. In a large bowl: mix all the base ingredients, thoroughly.
4. Place a metal ring approximately 3" (7 cm) wide and at least 2″ (5 cm) tall, on a
dehydrator tray and non-stick dehydrator sheet. Dividing the mixture into 4,
place one part into the bottom of the metal ring and spread evenly. Repeat this
until you have 4 bases.
5. Dehydrate at 115 degrees F, for 2 hours. At this point you should be able to
transfer the bases to a dehydrator tray without the Paraflexx sheet; allowing
them to dry for a further 8 hours.
6. Blend all mousse ingredients in a high speed blender until smooth and set aside.
7. Take your bases and place the metal ring back over one of them. It's
recommended to line the inside of the ring with non-stick paper as this aids in
the removal of the ring at the end.
8. Arrange some raspberries at the bottom of the ring, covering the whole of the
base. You can then cover them with one quarter of the mousse.
9. Repeat this with the other bases. This can be done using another 3 metal rings;
or you can leave the cake you have just done in the freezer for a few minutes,
by which time it will be firm enough to remove the metal ring.
10. You can decorate the cakes however you like, but for the decoration in the
picture, blend all the decoration ingredients, and used a spoon to drizzle that
mixture onto a Paraflexx sheet. Dehydrated it for 24 hours at 115 degrees F on
the sheet, and a further 24 hours without, until crispy. Instead of doing that, to
save time, you can just top with more raspberries and a dusting of cacao
powder.

Raw Vegan Zucchini Bread

Raw buckwheat bread


 1/2 cup olive oil
 1 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes
 3 cups sprouted buckwheat (1 cup dry before sprouting)
 3 1/2 cup courgette or zucchini, peeled, roughly chopped
 2 cups apple cored and roughly chopped
 3 tbsp lemon juice
 2 avocados
 1 onion large
 1/2 cup parsley minced
 1 cup flax meal

Cashew mayo
 1 cup cashews
 2 tbsp lemon juice
 1/2 tsp salt
 2 tbsp onion chopped
 1/4 cup water
 1/2 tsp honey or desired sweetener

Instructions

Raw buckwheat bread


1. Process the olive oil, sun-dried tomatoes, sprouted buckwheat, courgette, apple,
lemon juice, avocados, onion and parsley until thoroughly mixed.
2. Transfer to a large bowl and mix with the flax meal by hand. The reason you do
this separately (not in the processor) is that you are likely to have too much
mixture for the size of the processor at this point. When you add the flax meal,
the mixture will become quite heavy and sticky and could overwork your
machine.
3. When mixed, process the whole batter in the machine again, but in small
batches to achieve a light fluffy texture.
4. Divide the mixture in half and place on Paraflexx (nonstick) sheets on
dehydrator trays.
5. Use a spatula to spread the mixture evenly to all 4 sides and corners of the
Paraflexx sheet. If the mixture is too sticky, you can wet the spatula to make
things easier. Score the whole thing into 9 squares with a knife.
6. Dehydrate for 2 hours at 110-115 F. Then remove the Paraflexx sheets by
placing another dehydrator tray and mesh on top, and invert so that your
original sheet of bread is upside down. That will allow you to peel the
Paraflexx sheet off. Continue to dehydrate the underside of the bread.
7. Dehydrate for approximately 8 hours more (do this overnight so you’re not
tempted to eat it before it’s ready) or until bread feels light in your hand. If the
pieces don’t fully come apart where you scored, use a knife to cut them.

Cashew mayo
1. Blend all ingredients in a high-speed blender until smooth.

For the mushrooms pictured


1. Cut portabello mushrooms into thick 1 cm wide strips. Marinate them for a
couple of hours or overnight in equal parts of tamari and olive oil.
2. Arrange them on a dehydrator sheet and dehydrate overnight.

Purple Pasta with Walnut Pesto & Tenderstem


Broccoli
For the broccoli
 15 stalks tenderstem broccoli
 1/2 cup olive oil
 1/2 cup tamari
 1 tbsp sea salt

For the pasta


 2 cups beetroot raw
 6 courgettes zucchini
 1/4 cup olive oil
 1 tbsp sea salt

For the walnut pesto


 1 cup walnuts
 2 cups basil
 2 tbsp sea salt
 1 cup olive oil
 2 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

For the broccoli


1. Take any leaves off the broccoli, and place the stalks in a large bowl.
2. Add the remaining ingredients and leave to marinate for 2 hours or more. You
can also place the bowl, covered, in a dehydrator on 115 degrees F to speed up
the wilting process. This also has the advantage of your broccoli being warm
when you eat it.
For the pasta
1. Juice the beetroot and transfer to a large bowl. If you don’t have a juicer
capable of doing this, then grate the beetroot instead of using juice.
2. Cut the tips off each end of the courgettes (zucchini), but leave the skin on.
3. Slice the courgettes with a mandoline. Then stack the slices up so you can cut
them all together to make linguine-type strips.
4. Transfer the strips to the bowl with the beetroot juice and add the rest of the
ingredients. Set aside whilst making the rest of the recipe. The longer you leave
the courgette to marinade, the more purple it will be. For the photo example, I
left it in overnight.

For the walnut pesto


1. Pulse all ingredients in a food processor, leaving the mixture slightly chunky.

Assembly
1. Remove the courgette linguine strips from the beetroot juice mixture and place
in a strainer to allow the excess liquid to run off. This may end in a lot of your kitchen
being red! ?
2. In a different bowl, mix the walnut pesto with the purple pasta by hand, leaving
some nice chunks.
3. Remove the broccoli, which should have softened but still be nice and crunchy,
from the marinade and allow excess liquid to run off.
4. Arrange the broccoli on a plate however it works best for you.
5. Arrange the purple pasta and pesto on top of the broccoli.
6. The sauce in the picture was created by blending 1/2 cup of cashews with 1 cup
of the remaining beetroot marinade in a high-speed blender.
Stuffed Vine Leaves with Mint Cashew Aioli

 1/2 cup olive oil
 1 clove garlic
 1/2 cup pine nuts
 3 tsp lemon zest
 1/2 tsp cinnamon
 2 tbsp lemon juice
 1 tsp salt
 5 spring onions green onions
 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes soaked for 2+ hours, then chopped into thin strips
 2 cups fresh mint tightly packed, minced
 1/2 cup raisins roughly chopped
 16 vine leaves pickled

Mint cashew aioli


 1 cup cashews
 1 tbsp lemon juice
 1/2 tsp salt
 1/2 tsp agave
 1 tsp lemon zest
 5 cloves garlic
 1/2 cup water
 1/3 cup mint tightly packed

Instructions

Vine leaves
1. Pulse the cauliflower/parsnip in a food processor until it has a rice-like
consistency. Transfer to a large bowl.
2. In a high-power blender, blend the olive oil, garlic, pine nuts, lemon zest,
cinnamon, lemon juice, sea salt and spring onions until creamy.
3. Add this mixture to the rice and mix well.
4. Add the sun-dried tomatoes, mint and raisins to the mixture and mix again.
5. Now take one vine leaf at a time and place it stem-side up on a chopping board
or sushi rolling mat. Place between 1 and 2 tablespoons of the mixture on the
leaf, depending on the size of the leaf.
6. Roll up the leaf from the bottom first and tuck in the side bits after the first roll.
I find it helps to brush olive oil on to the leaf at this point to help it stick.
7. Once the sides are in, finish rolling upwards to make a neat little package. You
may not get this first time, but keep practicing and have fun with it.
8. Continue until all the mixture is used.
Mint cashew aioli
1. Place all ingredients except the mint in a high-power blender and blend until
creamy.
2. Add the mint to the blender and pulse in so to leave mint visible in the aioli.
3. Serve with stuffed vine leaves.

Tomato Macadamia Mozzarella Linguine

Linguine
 4 carrots medium-size, peeled
 4 parsnips medium-size, peeled
 1/2 tsp salt
 15 pcs basil leaves large-size, chiffonaded
 2 tbsp Italian seasoning
 2 cups baby plum tomatoes cut into small sections

Macadamia mozzarella
 1/2 cup macadamias
 1/2 cup cashews
 1 tbsp nama shoyu or tamari
 2 tsp lemon juice
 1/4 cup water
 1 tbsp nutritional yeast

Red pepper sauce


 1/2 cup pine nuts
 1 red pepper
 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
 1 tbsp tamari
 1 tbsp agave

Instructions

1. Turn the carrot and parsnip into thin strands with a mandoline or vegetable
peeler. You can also make spaghetti using a spiral slicer.
2. In a bowl, combine the vegetable pasta (linguine) you have produced with the
salt and mix well by hand. Leave to stand whilst preparing the mozzarella.
3. Combine all mozzarella ingredients in a Vitamix or food processor. (A Vitamix
isn’t a food processor. It’s more of a blender, but no other blender that I know
of is suitable to make the cheese, so an ‘ordinary’ processor is the next best
thing.)
4. Blend until a creamy texture is achieved. You may need to add a couple of
tablespoons of extra water to get it all to mix. Set aside.
5. Mix all red pepper sauce ingredients in a Vitamix or blender until smooth. (A
regular blender is OK for this, as the mixture is saucier ? than the cheese.)
Again, you may need to add water to get a ‘sauce’ consistency.
6. Go back to the linguine and you should find that it has released its water and is
now softer and has a cooked ‘al dente’ feel. Wash the salt off and dry with
kitchen towel or a salad spinner.
7. Transfer linguine to a clean, dry bowl and add the remaining linguine
ingredients. When thoroughly mixed, add the macadamia cheese and mix again
by hand to coat all linguine in the cheese mixture.
8. Serve with the red pepper sauce. For the dinner party, I built the pasta up in a
metal ring that I bought from a cook shop and then removed the ring to get a
pasta ‘tower’. I then put the sauce in a squeeze bottle and drizzled it over the
top. You can also garnish with more chiffonade of basil.

Raw Food Sandwich Bread

 1/2 cup olive oil


 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes loosely packed
 3 courgettes or zucchini, medium-size, peeled and roughly chopped
 2 apples cored and roughly chopped
 3 tbsp lemon juice
 1 tsp salt
 3 tbsp Herbs de Provence or herbs of your choice
 2 tbsp marjoram or herbs of your choice
 3 cups almond flour
 1 cup flax meal

Instructions

1. You can make almond flour a number of ways. My favourite is to save the pulp
from any almond milk I make and dehydrate it so I can keep it in a glass jar until
needed. You could also use the almond pulp wet. Another way would be just to grind
some almonds into flour in a high-powered blender or coffee mill.
2. Process the olive oil, sun-dried tomatoes, courgette, apple, lemon juice, salt and
dried herbs until thoroughly mixed.
3. Add the almond flour and process again until a batter is formed.
4. In a bowl, mix the batter with the flax meal by hand. The reason you do this
separately (not in the processor) is that you are likely to have too much mixture
for the size of the processor at this point. When you add the flax meal, the
mixture will become quite heavy and sticky and could overwork your machine.
5. When mixed, process the whole batter in the machine again in small batches to
achieve a light fluffy texture.
6. Divide the mixture in 2 and place on nonstick dehydrator sheets on dehydrator
trays.
7. Use an offset spatula (aka offset palette knife or cranked palette knife) to
spread the mixture evenly to all 4 sides and corners of the nonstick sheet. If the
mixture is too sticky, you can wet the spatula to make things easier. Score the
whole thing into 9 squares with a knife.
8. Dehydrate for 2 hours at 105 degrees F. Then remove the nonstick sheets by
placing another dehydrator tray and mesh on top and invert so that your
original sheet of bread is upside down. That will allow you to peel the nonstick
sheet off and continue to dehydrate the underside of the bread.
9. Dehydrate for approx 8 hours more at 105 degrees F (do this overnight so
you’re not tempted to eat it before it’s ready) or until bread feels light in your
hand. If the pieces don’t fully come apart where you scored, use a knife to cut
them.
Raw Chocolate Torte

Crust
 1 1/2 cups pecans
 1 cup raisins roughly chopped
 2 tsp cinnamon
 1/8 tsp Himalayan salt
 3 tbsp coconut oil melted
 2 tsp vanilla extract or seeds from 1 vanilla pod

Filling
 2 1/2 cups water
 2 cups cacao powder or 1 1/2 cups milled cacao nibs + 1/2 cup carob powder if
no cacao powder available
 2 avocados
 2 cups cashew butter
 1 1/2 cups cacao butter grated, melted
 1 tbsp vanilla extract or seeds from 2 vanilla pods
 3/4 cup coconut sugar

Ginger cream
 1/2 cup cashews soaked
 1/3 cup water
 1 tbsp coconut oil
 2 tbsp coconut sugar or desired sweetener
 3/4 tsp ginger fresh, peeled
 1/8 tsp ground clove
 3/4 tsp vanilla

Raspberry coulis
 1 cup raspberries or any berry
 2 tsp honey or desired sweetener
 1 tsp lemon juice
 1/8 tsp salt

Instructions

1. The first thing we need to do is liquidise the cacao butter and coconut oil, so
put them in separate containers and place in a warm dehydrator. If you don’t have a
dehydrator, then you can do this on a stove (if you haven’t sold it yet!) but you have
to be really careful not to let it get too warm. You can also do it in a glass bowl over
another bowl of hot water, you know, like your Mum used to do when she made a
cake with chocolate!
2. Next make sure your cashew butter is out of the fridge, as it will be easier to
work with at room temp.
Crust
1. Process all the dry ingredients in a processor, then add coconut oil and vanilla
extract. Be sure not to overprocess nuts, as they will release their oil and become
‘sludge’!
2. Press the mixture into a 9″ springform pan. If you have a different size
springform pan, don’t worry; just use what you have and see how thick the base
becomes. For example, an 8″ pan will produce a thicker base. It’s really no
problem!

Filling
1. Mix the water, cacao powder and avocados in a blender. In a large bowl, add
this mixture to the cashew butter and stir well by hand. If you have a Vitamix, you
don’t need to mix by hand. You can do this first step and the next step in the Vitamix,
but do remember to add the cacao butter last, after everything has been blended.
2. Add remaining ingredients (melted cacao butter, vanilla extract and agave) to
the bowl and mix again.
3. When thoroughly mixed, pour the heavenly chocolate mixture onto the base in
the spring form pan, and then use a spatula to even out the top.
4. Lick the bowl.
5. Place the torte in the fridge over night to set. It tends to get better every night
it’s in the fridge, if it lasts that long without you eating it all! Seriously though,
this will make a very big torte so there’ll be plenty to go round. ? You can put it
in the freezer for a couple of hours to set if you’re short of time.
6. Before removing the spring form, run a knife around the edge of the torte to
separate it from the pan.

Ginger cream
1. Blend all ingredients in a high speed blender, adding water slowly until
completely smooth
Raspberry coulis
1. Blend until smooth. If desired, strain through a sieve

Instructions

Crust
1. *Raw out flour is made by milling raw oats in a coffee grinder or high-speed
blender. If you don’t have raw oats available and you don’t mind using oats that have
been steamed to preserve shelf life, then non-raw oats will also work.
2. Grind all ingredients in a food processor until thoroughly mixed.
3. Press the mixture into a tart/muffin tray that has been lined with strips of
baking parchment and dehydrate at 115 degrees F for 3 to 4 hours.
4. Remove the crusts from the tray and dehydrate for a further 8+ hours on the
mesh dehydrator sheet.

Filling
1. Grind all ingredients, except the apple and raisins, until they form a paste.
2. Add in the apple and raisins and process for a further 5 – 10 seconds until fully
combined.

Cashew icing
1. Blend all ingredients in a high-speed blender until completely smooth.

Assembly
1. Fill each of the crusts with a little of the filling, then top with the cashew icing
and a pinch of nutmeg.

Notes
The mince pie should be good for 5 days in a covered container in the fridge.
