About Me:: I have been raw since March 2007 and it has been wonderful. Before that I was vegan for four years.

What type of friends are you looking to make here?: I'd like to meet folks who want to cook together, eat together, and enjoy life.

Favorite Raw Food or Dish:: I just love a fresh salad with lots of things in it.

Interests (outside of Raw Food):: Hiking, dancing, Grateful Dead, live music, reading, learning, movies, walking, talking.

The chocolate banana shake sounds good. How do you make it?

Somehow, we feel pretty right side up,here in Australia! Not upside down at all - except when we had our previous very conservative Prime Minister.

My son is about 90% raw. He's nearly 15 years old and raw seems to be just growing on him. For many years, he's said he just wants to be 'normal' but I persisted by giving him raw. Now more recently, he's actually asked for a huge salad and like my Alissa Cohen inspired recipes. He wants to be a professional football player and realises that he feels great when eating raw. Currently, he doesn't like nuts, so I have to somehow 'sneak' them into my dishes. Still a challenge, but seems to be getting increasingly easy.

My advice would be to continue creating raw for him, but let him have 'healthy' non-raw every now and then - don't force it on him too much. He'll soon realise the difference in both his energy levels and overall feeling of wellbeing.

Good luck!

Eve

I am a Massachusetts Native, just moved back with my family from LA. Love to talk with you about what you know about the local Raw/Vegan/Vegetarian culture that exists in the area and about getting more involved.
Thanks for your reply!

Mike

Thanks for joining RawJews..nice to meet you! Hope you don't mind my chuckling at your hope to meet "folks who want to cook together" ha ha.....I'm sure you'll find many folks to walk in the tall trees, go where the wind goes and grow some sprouts...smiles, Sharon

Dig it! Yeah, it's nice and sunny here in LA. I hope it starts raining soon. My restaurant was 1998-99 and I do it privately now. I will open 2 more in the future. Give me your email and I will send you some information about my food with some recipes. Much love!
Namaste, BeLive

How have you been doing? Mass must be getting cold. Want to be friends here?

At 6:51pm on December 10th, 2007, Ian said…: I have done reviews of various raw restaurants on www.happycow.net - my screen name is "ivorygate". The following restaurants (in order of preference) have reviews:

Quintessence (NYC)
Pure Food & Wine (NYC)
Raw Soul (NYC)
Arnold's Way Cafe (Landsdale, PA)
Drazil (Egg Harbor Twp, NJ)
Organic Avenue (NYC)
24 Carrots Juice Bar (NYC)
Livin' on the Veg (Beach Haven, NJ)
Caravan of Dreams (NYC)

The only two I missed in the Northeast were the Energy Bar (Monclair, NJ) and Candle 79 (NYC), the latter of which is a fine dining vegan establishment with a few raw options.

Other than that, New York City was quite the spectacle.

As for California, the Top 3 were Cru (LA), Rawvolution (Santa Monica), & Juliano's (Santa Monica). Cru is one of my all time favorites ... the ambience, the menu, and the food were simply outstanding.

I plan to do a couple more of these before I'm dead. Let me know how your trips pan out.
