Food and cooking tips

Try Eating Raw Food : You need a balance of three basic food groups as most of your diet:
  • sweet fruits (apples, oranges, berries, melons, etc.)
  • green leaves (dark lettuce, kale, collards, spinach, etc.)
  • raw plant fats (avocados, olives & their oil, coconuts & their oil, nuts & seeds, durian)
    • Eat lots of sweet fruit, lots of green leaves, and some fat (as dressing, pâté, hummus, etc.). Add vegetables as desired, and sprouted grains and legumes occasionally. Try fruit for breakfast and snacks; greens, veggies and fat for lunch and dinner.


    Track down specials and buy in bulk. Buying in bulk means less trips, and can be a good way of reducing your food miles.

1/4 c Basil leaves, some whole,

-some chopped in half Salt to taste pn Red pepper flakes 3/4 lb Macaroni pasta like penne

*Pasta with Marinated Tomatoes, Capers, Olives, Garlic, Chilies, and Herbs. Author's note: "This pasta dish would not be the same without the piquancy it picks up from the capers, and from its Italian name. The dish loosely translates as 'bad woman pasta,' as several other lusty tomato and garlic and herb pasta dishes do. Legend has it that these dishes are so named because they are very aromatic and lure customers in when other charms fail. Another explanation is that the dishes are so quick they can be prepared between customers." Combine olive oil with olives, capers, garlic, tomatoes, basil, salt, and pepper flakes. Let sit and marinate for half hour if possible. Cook penne in rapidly boiling salted water until al dente. Drain and toss with sauce. Serve immediately, or let cool and enjoy as a salad.
