Denise and I spent the day preparing for our guest appearance on a local cable TV show, where we'll be demonstrating how to prepare easy, delicious, raw food desserts for everyone to enjoy throughout the holidays... Completely GUILT FREE. We made quite a mess. We had quite a lot of fun. It was quite a day!
Denise likes to follow recipes to a "T", whereas I am fairly comfortable adding a little of this and a little of that and "feeling" my way through a recipe. We didn't have enough of some of the ingredients, like cashews, so we had to do some improvising anyway. One valuable lesson we learned: do NOT substitute cashews with macadamias!!! Unless maybe you're looking for cheesier flavor, like ricotta.
For anyone new to raw food preparation, I think experimenting in the kitchen is a truly important part of the process. It helps you become familiar with each ingredient, and how it performs for achieving different textures and flavors. Don't be afraid to make mistakes... Some of my biggest "mistakes" have turned into staple dishes I can't live without!
So, grab a girlfriend or two and make a play date of it!
