Raw Cheesecake

I made this for my mom's birthday and she has been raving aout it ever since. Ha ha, I love how I can get out of stressing over what to buy someone as a gift by simply baking - or in this case freezing - a cake.



She even bought the ingredients to make it herself next time. After the birthday brunch I was left with three notes of her friends asking for the recipe. I used this one.



On Thursday I'll finally have my written exam. Oh the weight that's gonna fall off my shoulders...

La Mano Verde - Organic Gourmet Cuisine




This is a 100% organic vegan restaurant (with raw&gluten-free options) around my corner which I highly suggest you to pay a visit should you be in Berlin for whatever reason!
Hey, even Woody Harrelson & Ben Foster were there.

The first time I went there I almost fainted from all the goodness and was close to dropping down on my knees in front of the cook and praise him =p
Whenever I have extra money to spare I stop by and pretty much order the same things every time. The Curry or the raw Red Beet Ravioli. Just writing this makes me want to go over there immediately =p



The first (and only) time I've had vegan cheese that was actually melted



Yellow Thai Curry with Tofu



Raw Red Beet Ravioli with Fennel Salad & dried Figs



Summer Rolls

Salad and fruity treats.

It's been friggin cold here lately and there was a snow storm today, so I've been craving and eating lots of soup lately and the only raw things consumed were apples and some salads. Here are a few from a couple of days back though.

Lamb's lettuce, red cabbage, zucchini & tomatoes with green olive tapenade and lots of chives and basil.



Banana, pear, raspberries & a date (gotta get more of those soon, I'm hooked) sprinkled with shredded coconut.



Blueberry-Banana Ice Cream (1/2 frozen, 1/2 fresh, 1/3 cup frozen blueberries) with a pear. This stuff is brilliant, even better than the raspberry one due to no annoying seeds being stuck between your teeth ;)



Well, back to hitting the books. Or should I say book, only 1/4th through the 500-pages one. We finally got the topics for the final exam though, so now I don't have any justification for procastination =p

Raw Eats

I've decided to eat more raw instead of having PBJ sandwiches all the time.



Banana sprinkled with cinnamon in romaine leafs along with dates & red grapes.



Yes, the penis was intentional. =p



Mixed salad with tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper and ABM-dressing.



Breakfast this morning was half an orange and for lunch I made a salad which I couldn't even finish.
Mixed salad with yellow bell pepper, fennel, red cabbage, tomatoes, zucchini, broccoli, red grapes, ABM-dressing and raisins.



ABM-dressing
1 small apple, cored and diced
1/4 banana
1/4 cup mango
dash cinnamon

blend until creamy

And breakfast this morning. Oatmeal with cinnamon, ginger, a tsp. maple syrup and peanut butter, 1/2 mashed banana, fresh blueberries and 1/2 pear.
