Get the Scoop

In the bulk bin section of the market, not only are the nuts, grains, and other dry items free of excessive packaging, they're also minimally processed (which also means less manipulated by fossil-fuel-consuming machines). With the freedom to scoop a little or a lot, you'll buy only what you need.

Stuffed Mushrooms

Ingredients

A large flat field mushroom.
Stuffing: mushroom stalk, breadcrumbs, fresh parsley, smoked cherry tomatoes, chilli infused olive oil.
Salad: rocket, green peppers dressed with lemon olive oil.

Instructions

Remove the stalk from the mushroom and fill with the finely chopped stuffing mixture.
Cook in the oven at 275C for about 10 minutes.

Notes

Oak smoked cherry tomatoes are a vegan secret weapon. Roasted in the oven they taste similar to smoky bacon - honest. You can buy them in many farmer’s markets . If you can’t get smoked cherry toamtoes you could use sunblush or roasted tomatos

Raw foodism (or rawism)

Raw foodism (or rawism) is a lifestyle promoting the consumption of un-cooked, un-processed, and often organic foods as a large percentage of the diet. If 60-100% of a person's total food consumption is raw food, he/she is considered a raw foodist or living foodist.^[1][2] Raw foodists typically believe that the greater the percentage of raw food in the diet, the greater the health benefits. Raw foodism or a raw food diet is usually equated with raw veganism in which only raw plant foods are eaten,^[3] but other raw foodists emphasize raw meat and other raw animal products.^[4] Depending on the type of lifestyle and results desired, raw food diets may include a selectıon of raw fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds (including sprouted whole grains such as gaba rice), eggs, fish (such as sashimi), meat (such as carpaccio), and non-pasteurized/non-homogenized dairy products (such as raw milk, raw cheese and raw yogurt). Raw foodists can be divided between those that advocate raw vegetarianism or raw veganism, those that advocate a raw omnivorous diet, and those that advocate a diet of only raw animal foods (carnivorous).
