Today was the first day of raw food school in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. I am on another food adventure, this time raw. It is getting to be the "trendy" way of eating. As a nutritional consultant, I want to learn about preparing some dishes which can be incorporated into some of my other cooked dishes. Today we prepared a raw lasagna with thinly sliced zucchini to replace the noodles, a ricotta cheese-like filling made with soaked macadamia nuts to replace the ricotta cheese and a pesto sauce. Here is a photo of the finished project. The second photo is beet ravioli with microgreens and a yellow pepper sauce. Why raw? A certain amount of food should be eaten without cooking to derive the benefits from the enzymes in the food.
