Bits and Bites

I've loved being in the kitchen since I was tall enough to reach the countertop (on a step stool, of course). My first culinary success was bread and butter making in preschool. It has been quite a journey since then, with life taking many turns. I have dabbled in tea blending, raw foods, soul food, vegan food, chocolates and confections, therapeutic cooking, camp-stove cooking, and gluten-free cooking. My next adventure is writing an alternative baking cookbook, release date TBA...

RAWking in the kitchen

Don't get me wrong, I love to cook. And the alchemy of baking never ceases to dazzle me.... But, I have been working at a local raw restaurant, Cafe Gratitude, for close to 2 years now and a thing or two has rubbed off on me. So, inspired by their latest recipe book Sweet Gratitude, I am working on a raw vegan macaroon recipe. Sweetened with agave nectar and using coconut butter to bind, these little buggers really stand up to their cooked counterparts.

Recipe on its way.....
