i've been having a sexy, gorgeous food month. i have always loved cooking but i've never been so connected to food as i am right now & therefore i have been making delicious, beautiful meals. this newfound connection is sparking a passion that is bringing so much woman out of me. i feel beautiful, motherly, spicy, etc!! i put music on in the kitchen and make a huge & glorious mess. lately, it's the shins new album while i cook. i love the recipes that are long and tedious. many raw recipes are like that. the other day i made "raw samosas". i made them in the morning because they have to dehydrate for 6 hours (if you've ever eaten raw cuisine you know it's worth it). in the evening we enjoyed them when matt & alicia came over. then i made a vegetable pot pie that took about 3 hours to make. i even made the crust from scratch which was very satisfying to me. josh said it was the best thing i've made yet. i think he was just hungry but i do stand by the idea that using only organic, local vegetables makes your food taste better. i also so enjoy the process of making healthy,luxurious food that people will love and i think my enjoyment of the making it puts good energy into it. i love presenting food. and then i love feasting on it for hours. a good glass of wine always helps too.
BUT, the best news of the month so far is that i found The Best Vegan Cheese EVER!~!!!! it's from Scotland and it's called Sheese. I order it from
Vegan Essentials. remarkable indeed!
