Thank you for your beautiful recipes. I just started going raw vegan which is not easy. The recipes that both of you have created are both healthy and amazing! If there are any ingredients I’m not able to add I can always switch to something else. No problem. I’ll be trying out your curry zucchini! Thank you again
Many of these look really delicious. However, a can of chickpeas isn’t raw.
Thanks for your comment and feedback, Amanda. You are absolutely right, we will update the list accordingly!
Have a great rest of your day.
Kindest, Louise
Aaawww man! I was getting excited about the hummus! Lol, thanks for the info.
As a vegetarian who is trying to be raw as much as possible, I suppose it means apart from not eating the above mentioned lentils, nor can I eat most of the beans or grains as they have to be cooked, also that rules out tofu so i am left with very low protein sources apart from raw nuts and seeds So I think I’m going to ignore this and just keep everything else raw.
