Yellow Zucchini Spaghetti

raw zucchini pasta

Zucchini noodles (also known as “zoodles“) are the perfect gluten-free, zucchini pasta.

The Spiralizer is far and away my favorite tool. It creates curls of your favorite vegetables, literally in seconds. It’s the fastest tool of the bunch and requires the least amount of strength or effort (with suction cup feet to keep it in place). You simply cut off the ends of a zucchini, place it next to the blade and spin. In less than 8 seconds you’ll have spiral sliced the entire zucchini.

For cashew sauce:

1 cup soaked 2 hours cashew nuts
1 cup water
1 tbs nutritional yeast for cheese flavor
pinch of Himalayan pink salt
1/2 lemon juice
blue spirulina for color
1 date

Blend all ingredients well, taste and add more water if needed.

Bon appétit! 👌😉

What Do I Eat for My Raw Food Diet Lunch?

Well, some my friends asked me what is my daily food is like? What is my breakfast, lunch and dinner? Of course, everybody thinks I prepare a very delicious menu for my lunch, but I have to disappoint you, usually I don’t cook for myself and eat very simple food 😉 I have juice or smoothie for my breakfast (usually 1 liter or more), simple salad for lunch and a lot of fresh fruits for dinner. Sometimes I want salad twice a day and have it again for dinner. I try to eat seasonal fruits and veggies, but in Japan it’s hard to understand when season for what is? 😉 We have tomatoes and cucumber, greens and fruits all year around. I think it’s not good, because mostly they were growing up in greenhouses. Anyway, I am happy to have my greens and lettuce all seasons and change my ingredients for salad sometimes. Today is a little cold outside, autumn is coming to Tokyo…therefore I feel like to eat some fat! I don’t like avocado, but like it in my salad sometimes. I am careful with fat, so have half of avocado every second day. Also I use some oil for my dressing and pinch of salt. I love to cook gourmet raw food recipes for my friends and family, for my blog and events, but never cook them to myself in my daily life. You should be careful with those recipes, usually they are too fat, and only sometimes you can enjoy a nuts cheese cake and other sweets. Also I drink fresh juice every day. I found very helpful green juices, especially when I have PMS. 🙂 And my son and husband love my smoothies and juice. Please watch my videos where I show you my simple everyday lunch. If you like this video, please give this video a thumbs up if you like the recipe and share with family and friends!

 

Forest Spring Vegetable Basket

This is one of the recipes I created and submitted for my final in Matthew Kenney‘s fundamentals course. All ingredients you can find only in spring time and probably only in Japan, but you can easy to replace them to your local spring greens. I made it look like a round basket from young burdock’s root chips and some flowers. This basket has very crunchy taste. Inside of the basket – blooming broccolini, shoots of Aralia, Ostrich fern and I added sesame dressing which is rich flavour. Continue reading
