Versatile Vegetarian: Tastiest raw food re-creates texture, flavor
Liz Kohman
Gannett News Service
Raw food diets might seem intimidating, but California-based chef Ani Phyo brings raw food back to the basics.
"Raw is easier than cooked," said Phyo, who has been on a raw foods diet for about eight years. Since starting the diet, Phyo hasn't gotten sick and the diet has also improved her mental clarity and focus, she says.
Phyo's new cookbook, "Ani's Raw Food Kitchen" (Marlowe & Company, 2007, $19.95), features some of the raw food recipes she' s created for herself, her company called SmartMonkey Foods and her cooking classes. She's also developed cooking shows, which appear on her Web site (www.aniphyo.com).

Plant-based cooking approach means not heating food above 115 degrees to keep the nutrients intact
By Katy Budge - Special to The Tribune
Posted on Wed, May. 16, 2007
Debbie Bennett and Paula Sigman are giving food a raw deal, but in a good way.
The pair recently launched Naked Food Live Cuisine in San Luis Obispo, a lunch delivery service featuring dishes made according to the “raw food” philosophy.
As Bennett explained, this culinary approach “is all plantbased, traditionally a vegan way of eating,” with nothing brought to a temperature above 105 to 115 degrees F because “if you cook it you’ll kill the nutrients.”
Move over milk, almonds are headed for pasteurization
By Carol Ness, San Francisco Chronicle
04-30-2007
Glenn Anderson is having a tough time swallowing the almond industry's new rules that require heat treatment or chemical fumigation of the nuts he grows on 12 organic acres in the Central Valley of California.
"Most of our customers have called me and said, 'We don't want pasteurized almonds, we want them raw, directly from the field,' " says Anderson, 72, an organic pioneer whose farm in Hilmar, near Turlock, Calif., has been in his family since 1912. "I think it's being shoved down all of our throats."
...Consumers will be none the wiser, since no labels are required to say whether, or how, the nuts have been treated _ even those labeled raw. Already, many almonds are pasteurized voluntarily, especially by large producers.
'Fruitarians' take diets far beyond an apple a day
By Brian Henderson And Stephanie Merry, Columbia News Service
May 13, 2007
When Joe Bernstein meets friends for a dinner out, he knows ahead of time that there will be nothing on the menu for him to eat.
"They do accommodate me, though," he says. "I just ask for a dish of sliced avocado."
You could say Bernstein is mad about fruit. He is a fruitarian, or frugivore, and he adheres to a lifestyle that is a niche within a subset of vegetarianism. Bernstein, who lives in New York City, eats only raw fruit, a diet that includes some nuts and non-sweet fruit like avocado and tomato. A typical day's meals may include sunflower seeds with a few servings of fruit, such as pears or plums, for breakfast; a coconut shake with bananas for lunch; and Brazil nuts with tomatoes and avocado for dinner.
Weekend Grub: Rawsome Vegan Burritos with Guacamole
May 12, 2007
By Megan Prusynski
Eating lower on the food chain is a great way to curb global warming and reduce your footprint on the earth. Even reducing your intake of meat by a little bit is a big step for the environment.
...My green living journey began with going vegetarian and later vegan, and now my partner and I have been exploring going even further with a vegan diet by experimenting with raw and living vegan foods. Raw foods are in a more natural state and contain beneficial enzymes that are normally killed by high temperatures. The main benefits of a raw diet are health ones, but there are environmental benefits as well. Since there is no cooking involved, less energy is used
Conversations: David WolfeInterview by Ritzy Ryciak
May 2007
He might not convert you, but after hearing him speak you’ll definitely have a fresh perspective on raw food — and quite possibly crave a cashew cacao smoothie. Known as David “Avocado” Wolfe by fans, this 13-year raw foodist drinks only water for breakfast and “has been around the sun 36 times” — his response to the question of how old he is. The author of a handful of nutrition books, including his latest, Naked Chocolate, Wolfe — who maintains his raw food diet keeps him depression-free — has made his life’s work spreading the raw word. A superstar on the raw lecture circuit, he is the cofounder of Sunfood Nutrition (sunfood.com), an online distributor of exotic raw foods, books and products all geared toward helping health seekers live a more “plant-food-based lifestyle.” Wolfe, who studied at Oxford University and holds a law degree from University of San Diego, will be the first to tell you that humanity’s “fall from grace is the cooking of food” and that keepin’ it raw could change the world and save the planet. True to his global and green vision, he is the President of the nonprofit Fruit Tree Planting Foundation (ftpf.org) — its stated goal is to plant an ambitious 18 billion fruit trees.
We Like it Raw
The ultimate fringe food culture sexes it up for the mainstream
By Becca Campbell and Ritzy Ryciak
May 2007
Even within the natural food movement’s inner core, Raw foodists can’t get no love. Tell most folks you limit your diet to just fresh, uncooked fruits, veggies, nuts and seeds, and responses range from bewildered admiration (“Wow. You do that?!? I could never deal”) to bemused skepticism (“uh, whatever floats your boat, I guess”) to snark bordering on hostility (“what are you, a f’ing rabbit?”). Even the possibility of “increased energy and vitality” — the raw foodie’s beckoning promise — couldn’t persuade most of us to consign to a lifetime of carrots and celery. And so the “Raw Way” has largely remained a path for only the most disciplined zealot and/or narcissistic celebrity with the disposable funds to bankroll a personal chef.
But like any great idea whose time is nigh, raw food is maturing beyond its uncooked beginnings to a lifestyle choice that allows for flexibility, creativity, and above all — (dare we say?) great taste. Glossy cookbooks, fresh new restaurants, raw chocolate smoothies and healthy, happy raw enthusiasts — who are anything but cultish or militant — are moving Raw out of the fringe and into the mainstream.

“I have the longest standing raw food restaurant in the country,” states Karyn Calabrese, owner of Karyn’s Inner Beauty Center, Raw Vegan Gourmet and Fresh Corner Café. “I’m so proud of that because I’m in Chicago, a meat-packing town.”
Through private diet counseling sessions and raw food prep classes out of her home, Calabrese supported her restaurant until it could stand on its own. 20 years later, Karyn’s, a gorgeous 7500 square foot raw mecca in Lincoln Park, provides nutritional counseling, food preparation classes, detoxifying services and mouthwatering living food everyday. “It was just a dream and I stuck to it.”

Adoring Yourself and Your Appetizer

San Francisco
I AM Luscious. Say it. Now try it on a stranger.
Unable to bring myself to say those three little words to the waitress, I jabbed at the menu. A few minutes later, she presented me with a smoothie made with hazelnut milk, figs, dates, vanilla and raw cacao, making eye contact as she said: “You are luscious!”
And so it goes at Cafe Gratitude, a raw-food restaurant in San Francisco, where every order is a self-affirmation — I Am Open, I Am Beautiful, I Am Powerful — mirrored back to you by your server.
If it sounds like “The Secret: The Restaurant,” you might not be far off: the positivity-preaching millionaire owners (“although there is no solid evidence that his wealth is a result of his practice,” their Web site says) have opened four Bay Area locations in three years, and plan to expand.
“All of our food is local, sustainable, organic, vegan and raw,” begin the well-programmed servers, “except for our rice and quinoa, which are steamed. Quinoa is an ancient....” But that’s the tip of the menu.
Raw food means healthy food for Ashland family
By Curt Hopkins, For the Tidings
April 17, 2007
Victoria Boutenko's family was a mess. Victoria had arrhythmia and edema and was obese and depressed. Her husband Igor had rheumatoid arthritis and hyperthyroid problems. Her son Sergei was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes and was supposed to go on insulin and her daughter Valya had asthma.
But their ill-health was not due to a diet of burgers and ice cream.
"We were eating a standard diet, according to the (nutritional) pyramid that existed at the time," she said. "We actually considered we were eating better than most others."
Victoria's arrhythmia was the fulcrum for the change. Her doctor told her there was nothing more that could be done for her condition, a condition that had claimed her father.
"I believe in my heart it's not right to die at 38," she said. "First I cried all night and it didn't help. I prayed but didn't hear anything. So, I went out on the street and asked people who looked healthy what they did."
After two months of such on-the-ground research Victoria met a woman in her sixties who told her about raw food, though it was another four months before she made transition to raw foods.

Raw-foods advocate says key to health lies in collard-greens smoothies and goji
berries
Kimberly Garrison
Thu, Mar. 08, 2007
I HAVE ALWAYS been an adventurous eater, freely experimenting with my diet,
enjoying the culinary favorites of various cultures and eating styles.
So when raw-foods lifestyle coach Cherron Perry-Thomas introduced me to a collard-greens smoothie in January when we were both speakers at a spa retreat at the Hershey Hotel, I was gung-ho to try it.
I've been hooked on green shakes ever since. Cherron also introduced my palate to new culinary treats like goji berries, acai berries and more. Not surprising for a woman who calls her consulting business Dandelion Bunch.

I didn't eat meat, but slurped sodas, downed Irish cream coffees, shovelled
fries and bit into warm jelly donuts on a regular basis.
I was a 'junk vegetarian', saving my furry friends but acquiring high cholesterol and excessive sodium levels at the same time.
Then Natasha Kyssa, creator of the SimplyRaw Detox Program, wrote me and proposed I do a story about her regime.
I could never forfeit a good story so I accepted the four-week challenge.

Raw food fanatics chow down on ‘living’ food

Ryan Gehring doesn’t eat anything canned or cooked. “Eating raw connects me with…life. I become more sensitized to the energies within and without me,” says Gehring, a raw food practitioner, chef, consultant and incidentally, my housemate. The term “raw food” is something of a misnomer. “Anything can be raw. All of nature is raw. It doesn’t mean that you should eat it.”
Dr. Diana Joy Ostroff, an O‘ahu-based naturopathic physician/acupuncturist, says her dictionary of raw foods includes fruits, vegetables, nuts, uncooked seeds, sprouts and sprouted legumes. Ostroff adds that some raw foods, such as quinoa, can actually be “cooked” as long as they’re heated at temperatures below about 118, the holy maximum temperature in the raw food world

Playa del Rey chef says a vegetarian, raw food diet changed her life and she
wants to share its benefits with the world.

February 27, 2007
Two years ago, Vicki Rosenthal felt rundown as she struggled with her weight.
The actress, producer and Playa del Rey resident also noticed little red bumps all over her body. Rosenthal, 50, said she solved her problem with a simple switch. She stopped eating cooked food.
As a result, she lost 25 pounds and raised her energy level dramatically.
After taking raw-food cooking classes, Rosenthal teaches the culinary practice from her apartment, where she recently prepared mock salmon pate, pesto mushrooms, carrot pecan burgers and chocolate cookies.
Rosenthal, who describes herself as a raw foodist, teaches recipes developed by raw-food chef Alissa Cohen

On a cold fall night, students sat shoulder to shoulder
in rapt attention at New York City’s Institute
for Integrative Nutrition as their instructor led them
through a cooking class that was missing some standard
appliances. There were no ovens, stovetops or microwaves
in operation.
Absent were any references to roasting, broiling or
baking. Even steaming was verboten. What was turning
up the heat among this group of health and nutrition
enthusiasts, it turned out, were all things raw.

For the past several weeks, Robbs has been following a faith-based, strict vegan regimen: 85 percent raw food, 15 percent cooked. No meat, no seafood, no dairy, no animal products of any kind. No refined sugar, no white flour or white rice.

On the day we went to dinner at Ecopolitan in Minneapolis, my 15-year-old daughter, Robin, had eaten leftover pizza for breakfast and leftover steak for lunch. So, for dinner, I thought it might be a good time for something a little more healthful, like Ecopolitan's menu of all-organic vegan dishes.
We were joined by my friend Heidi, who doesn't eat red meat, and her kids, Ethan, 11, and Hannah, 14, who are accustomed to noncarnivore concoctions like walnut burgers and the fungus protein Quorn.
The restaurant takes its commitment to what it says is a more healthful plant-based diet a step further. Not only are there no meat, fish, eggs, butter or dairy products but also no wheat, corn or soy. And nothing is cooked.
'Living foods' guru Roxanne Klein saw her marriage and restaurant crumble. Now she's dishing up a comeback.

It isn't easy to get philosophical while ramming raw
beets into a juicer, but the lunch hour is waning and
Roxanne Klein has a lot to say.
"It's about evolution, I think," the onetime queen of the raw food movement is musing, knife in one hand, vegetable in the other. RRRrrrrrRRRRR!! She plants her bare feet on the checkerboard floor of her Mill Valley kitchen and shoves another chunk into the machine. "The food, the business," she says, smiling. "My own life."
Perhaps you remember Klein. Two years ago, she was the hottest thing on the American food scene. People called her a revolutionary. Comparisons to Alice Waters were made.
Sniffing
out some raw facts about good health
Scents sink in to revive skin, spirit
Nothing's cooking in plant-based diet

Sharon Mcdonnell,Special to the Star
Trelawny, Jamaica—Vowing to sniff my way to wellness, I inhale deeply the aroma of lavender, jasmine and carrot seed oil as they are massaged into my feet.
Dieting with raw foods, reflexology, shiatsu, tai chi, repairing emotional wounds through psycho-kinesiology, preventing diabetes naturally, traditional Chinese medicine like acupuncture, and "Oriental visual diagnosis" — figuring out health problems from the eyes and face — were also taught by experts in Jamaica.
A plant-based diet of vegetables, fruits, nuts and
seeds — but no dairy products, caffeine or refined
sugar — is healthy because cooking destroys nutrients
and enzymes in live foods and brings toxins into the
body, and can be tasty as well, Latham explains.
Latham trains vegan and raw-foods chefs for various
hotels, and offers consulting, catering, and nutrition
education.
Alive

Restaurant caters to special diets
Daily Record/Sunday News
Sep 28, 2006 — It's every dieter's dream to pick up a restaurant menu and not have to ponder over which dish is going to put the least flab on their abs.
At Loving Life Café in New Oxford, weight watchers can abandon calorie counting for the day - even with the list of rich desserts. Everything on the menu is made of fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds.
"The ladies can have dessert and it's not cheating," said Jody Allen.
In July, Jody and her husband, Joey Allen, along with chef Tom Bibb opened the café, which is vegan and vegetarian, non-dairy, gluten free and organic as possible. They only serve living foods, which means no stoves, no grills and no ovens. They use dehydrators and food processors to prepare their food. It's the way Joey eats and counsels others to eat through his nonprofit ministry Essene Wholeness. From his experience, he says he's much healthier.
How about a sprout burger? A sprout burrito? At this Kapahulu eatery, nothing gets cooked
By Michelle Ramos, Star-Bulletin
Wednesday, July 1, 1998 (very old)
Off Kapahulu's main drag of fast-food eateries, there sits a small brick building serving homemade burgers, sandwiches, cookies, brownies, fresh juices and other morsels that, besides being edible, have one thing in common. They are all raw.
Instead of ovens and microwaves, the store uses dehydrators and sprouters. Instead of chemically processed ingredients, the store uses living plants, which can be seen growing out of black plastic containers sitting on wire shelves behind the cash register.
Raw foodists meet for Vibrant Living Expo
By Connie Korbel Of the Advocate
08/31/2006
The concept of a raw foods lifestyle is likely a new one, and possibly a conundrum for many, but familiar to the 200 or so attending the Vibrant Living Expo last weekend. Multiple events were held from 9 a.m. into the evening at Fort Bragg Town Hall and The Company Store, where the Living Light Culinary Arts Institute is located, from Friday through Sunday.
Whether a food fad or a sustainable life choice, there is a movement — some say a revolution — afoot. Scan the dozens of referenced pages on Google and the raw foods concept unfolds as less eccentric and vaguely squeamish to more tolerable and perhaps prudent, if pursued sensibly and in moderation.
"Living Nutrition" magazine, with subscribers in over 40 countries, asserts itself as the world's most progressive natural health periodical that teaches how to succeed at eating a diet of raw foods, how to self-heal using the body's natural ability to restore itself, and how to build sustainable vibrant health.

Delicious and dogma-free Jade Café needs only a more seasoned staff
~ By REBECCA EPSTEIN ~
1-12-06
The first great thing about Jade Café – a raw, organic, vegan fusion restaurant near Sunset Junction in Silver Lake – is its relaxed, nonconfrontational atmosphere. The small dining room beckons with dark wood furniture and warm red lighting; the staff is calm; and the menu offers no self-righteous mission statement.
December 1, 2005 - Karyn Calabrese has turned a personal health issue into a successful career as a unique restaurateur. She is a raw foodist and her Chicago restaurants were among the first of their kind in the country.
Lunch crush is coming and the deli crew is busy making burgers, lime tarts and pizza dough. Things are really cooking -- at least figuratively.
In fact, none of the food being prepared at In The Raw will touch a flame or a griddle. None of it will encounter a temperature higher than a sweltering summer day. All of it, from the vegan cakes to vegan burgers, is served raw.
"No ovens," said owner Barbara Banfield. "Just dehydration. No flames."
The recently opened organic vegetarian deli and juice bar in this artsy tourist town is another outpost marking the mainstreaming of raw food diets.

All that energy may be a testament to the health benefits of the mostly raw, vegan food he prepares at one of Santa Cruz's newest restaurants.
