I have always loved good healthy food. I became vegetarian in 1995 and gradually moved to gluten free vegan before discovering raw veganism in august 2007. Now I can't imagine ever going back I feel so great and love it so much! I work as an art director and interactive designer but I have an addiction to nutrition!

It's actually surprisingly easy once you get the hang of it. No machete required. Shave off the husk at the pointed top close to the shell. Then poke the point of a knife in about 2 or 3 cm out from the centre and wiggle it about until it pierces ...
my magic bullet burnt out, it was good for travelling while I had it though. Can you get a second hand blender? The cheaper ones I have used don't chop up the greens as well. Try to get something with a higher wattage, like 1000watt.
Hi Kelly :) Yes I do love the beautiful warm weather we get here! And yes I do eat a lot of fruit hehe. My favourite place to go at the moment is the Northey St markets, if you're visiting again it's a great place to hang out on a Sunday.
Hey Kelly, I love your blog, it's going on my regular reading list! Also going to try out your dip recipes for my sweetie - haven't got him off bread yet, but at least I've got him to fill his sandwich with raw dips and salad - little steps. Melbourne is indeed a great place to be right now for raw foodies. Hope you decide to join us over here!
Hi Kelly, ive just eaten a small dish of baby sweetcorn and mangtouts [baby green peas in their pods] drizzled with vinegar and soy sauce...mmm yumy yum feel so energised n bouncy then i found your pics of your recipe dishes and now my bellys rumbling again! tis not fair!
Thanks for the info! I'm moving in December so I have plenty of time to do some more research!!!
Well I have another question!!! I was looking for information on the website for Vietnam and I just read one of your post. I'm planning to go there in September but so far I dont know where to go!!! I'll be in Vietnam for only 2 weeks. Can you suggest some places???
Hi Kelly, yeah Ceres is great. We just had a raw restaurant open up in Melbourne which is awesome as well. Am a kiwi chick myself, grew up all over NZ and moved over here when I was 16. How is the raw scene in Wellington and NZ?
Thanks for all that info
I will check out the monthly potlucks put on by Pure Wellbeing
unfortunately the Winter Solstice Celebration ~ Raw Food Potluck Dinner is already booked out - Better luck next year. thanks for the proposal though it made me check out hot yoga.
Can you let me know if you do one of your mini potlucks - my specialty is green smoothies with superfood.
you did well recognizing me through the blury photo
Yes I am jennas friend - she put me onto the "organic connection" that made all the difference ordering an organic box each week.
Do you know if there is any Raw pot luck happening - or otehr wgtn events
Gia, I wish you well and certainly understand the power of this process. Please be careful though; this is a significant process. Nature has the keys, and the best we can ever do is to try to understand and apply her wisdom. Fasting is about givin...
Thank you! Yes, the little one is high raw. He's 90% most days on account of his father pushing some "normal" things like toasted granola and steamed peas on him. Nothing I'll complain about though! He's also still nursing, so he gets a raw transf...
ripped and beautiful :) it may just be me but being so stong, especially in that area, rises the idea in your head of power and that you will soon be sprouting wings.. :)
I've watched that. It is so weird that they have that show on. I also watched the old v's. They are a trip- with 80s hair and the spacesuit type outfits they wear. If you look at how small our planet is compared to others like Niburu- you can see ...
I'm on a computer in the library right now (as I was on Thursday), so any posts may be a little short. I was a little stressed by the reapplication information about the CAB because I had the same issues with finding paid work to fit around it bef...
Thanks for checking this out Vamp. It is truly amazing if you can be open minded enough to watch the video. People act like we haven't invented space travel. If you can accept that- then how hard would it be to accept jumping onto a planet that is...
starting to plan for this now ! right in the midlle of holidays !
i'm thinking about doing a week, but may extend with blended foods depending on how much detox I experience. Can't get the 'flu' just yet.
thanks....so grateful & dave is the best !...
Hi El-bo,
You're absolutely right; sodium is not the problem, but sodium chloride, and inorganic mineral salt which always causes water retention and raises blood pressure. We don't need any of that.
