Café stays in the raw Restaurant provides a fresh mix of organic dishes for all diet types By Hannah Agatston - Contributing Writer September 11th, 2008 Imagine indulging in the delicacy of sushi without breaking the bank, counting carbs or fidgeting with chopsticks. Inside a small dim-lit vegan café just off The Commons, diners can order rice-less sushi, a naturally blended Green Smoothie or a taco salad for a delightful afternoon pick-me-up. Everything Wellness, located at 118 South Cayuga Street, is a hidden treasure that makes it evident the raw food fad is not just for starving celebrities. This cozy vegan restaurant — meaning no meat, no dairy — uses entirely organic ingredients from local farmers through GreenStar Cooperative and the Farmer’s Market. Everything Wellness ensures that each ingredient is fresh and everything on the menu is made on the premises, with the exception of the tortillas. Smoothies are made with almond milk, which is soaked, blended and strained by the restaurant’s employees. Unlike the restaurant’s neighboring pizza places, Everything Wellness offers diners an ample amount of fruits and veggies — and more breathing room. THE CULTURAL KITCHEN Spreading the word about eating raw Thu, Sep. 11, 2008 By Nancy Ancrum A crisp apple, a green salad or, if we're really being fancy, a bowl of gazpacho is what most of us consider food in the raw. For SaBoora Yusef, however, eating raw has been a life-changing commitment, one that she approaches each day with dedication and creativity. USDA committee cautioned on risks to small growers By Tom Karst (Sept. 9, 2008) WASHINGTON, D.C. — As the fresh produce industry, Congress and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration prepare to add layers of food safety regulation to the produce supply chain, U.S. Department of Agriculture fruit and vegetable advisory committee members heard a voice of caution. At the committee’s Sept. 8 meeting, Caralea Arnold, research associate with The Cornucopia Institute, Cornucopia, Wis., asked the members to consider the “collateral damage” new produce safety regulations may have on small growers. In particular, she said the institute was prepared to aggressively defend the interests of family growers if their well being is threatened by rulemaking. “In the form of a warning, The Cornucopia Institute (is filing) a federal lawsuit on Sept. 9 challenging the legality of the USDA’s almond pasteurization mandate,” she told the committee. Is David Duchovny eating veggie burgers in rehab? by Elizabeth Snead Seems like everyone famous has been to rehab. Even Amy Winehouse, but what's a couple of weeks when she needs to be locked in for a few years. Definitely, Lindsay Lohan. Briefly, Britney Spears. Recently, Eva Mendes, but for eating, honest. A depressed Kirsten Dunst. Probably Mary-Kate Olsen, but perhaps just for nutritional education.' Heather Locklear recently checked into an Arizona treatment center for "depression," which is publicist code for you-know-what. … Hardly a week goes by without another celebrity checking into a rehab center. But now there’s a twist. These days stars can check in as addicts and come out as vegans, thanks to the delish veggie meals being served. Ending Summer on a Healthy Note September 2, 2008 Maya Henderson - Chicago Mind Body Examiner Include other special offers from Examiner.com Around this time of year, I usually spend my free time sipping on cocktails at BBQs, reveling in every minute that the warm weather is still here and complaining about how December is right around the corner. But I decided to bring this summer to a close on a healthier note: more yoga classes, private pilates sessions and a rekindled interest in nutrition. I owe my new attitude to a weekend full of spa treatments, yoga classes, gourmet raw food, raw cooking classes and much more and by this time next year, Chicagoans will be able to do the same. Life in the raw September 2, 2008 Melbourne caterer Paul Mattei insists he is thriving personally on a stringent, uncooked diet that would make standard vegetarianism seem indulgent, writes Ann Pilmer. AT A recent function, caterer Paul Mattei served marinated daikon with Warrigal greens and goji berries, lukewarm cauliflower soup with aged balsamic, red onions and wilted lettuce, and a main course of marinated brocco flowers, finely-cut carrot and grapes marinated in lavender and aniseed myrtle, with curry oil. Dessert was blood-orange sorbet and rockmelon soup topped with river mint. They might not be everyone's plats du jour, but he used the meal to push his passionate belief that we should all eat more fresh food and less processed or what he calls "empty" foods. Shan’t cook, won’t cook Aug 31, 2008 Hilary Biller gets a taste of life on fruit and veg as nature intended — on a raw foodism course. Capetonians Peter and Beryn Daniels are UK-trained chefs who run the Raw- Foods, Living-Foods Elements of Health Programme. They travel the country spouting raw- food principles and demonstrating how to prepare raw meals. Bake To The Future Written by: Ruth Marsh Friday, August 29, 2008 Cake and guilt traditionally go hand-in-hand, but two pioneering Edinburgh cafes are making a move towards sweet treats that’ll keep your conscience smelling of roses. Raw Food, as a movement, is normally associated with the blue skies and bright lights of California. Luminaries of 90s Hollywood like Demi Moore and Alicia Silverstone are devotees of the diet, which claims innumerable physical and mental benefits of consuming unprocessed, undiluted,’living’ foodstuffs- over 400 raw outlets can be found across the US. It is, in fairness, the last food concept you’d expect to find launching in Scotland, even if it is in Edinburgh’s mellow, shabby-chic Stockbridge. To enter Red Sugar, you have to battle through the snaking queue waiting to buy bridies and yum yums from the Greggs next door, as owner Steve Montgomery wryly notes. Vegetarian pioneer helps 'people wake up' August 28, 2008 Decades before Oprah's detox diet, Karyn Calabrese was encouraging Chicagoans to live full, healthy lives through a unique approach to eating. Calabrese, the 61-year-old vegan dynamo behind the restaurants Karyn's Raw in Lincoln Park and Karyn's Cooked in River North, as well as a spa and store, has helped people learn to take better care of what she calls their "most magnificent machines." Raw Food for Health and Beauty August 27, 2008 You may have heard of raw foods, and might be wondering what it is. It's food made using only whole fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds, and ideally organic. Might sound boring, but I assure you the recipes are delicious, nutritious, easy and fast to make, and keep us looking and feeling out best. Couple hopes to meet demand for vegan fare By Amanda Mantone Linehan GateHouse News Service August 21, 2008 Malden — Google “Vegan restaurant Boston,” and the results probably aren’t too surprising: a venue in Allston, a few links for Pan-Asian cuisine, and suggestions to visit CitySearch.com or BostonVegan.org for more guidance. It’s easy to assume Boston isn’t very Vegan-friendly, at least not for anyone hoping to dine out. This month, one couple in Malden is hoping to change all that. Lisa and Bob Bouley, owners of the new Vej Naturals juice bar and café on Washington Street, opened the vegan-organic eatery with one goal in mind: to show diners that vegan fare can be delicious, nutritious, inexpensive — and even fun to eat. Series reveals the power of raw food By Linda Tarr, for the Olympian August 21, 2008 South Sounders can learn to prepare healthful food and support local Community Sponsored Agriculture farms at the same time in the coming months. Raw, whole foods are tasty in summer Raw and whole foods are alternatives to cooking on high heat Adam Wilcox August 20, 2008 Cooking soup in August never made much sense to me. Most of us want to avoid hot cooking in the summer heat — but we still want great food. Meanwhile, some people have turned away from cooked food for deeper reasons. Some have moved toward raw and whole foods to fight cancer, high blood pressure or obesity. For others, it's a philosophical extension of an attitude about diet and environment. Can the summer gourmet learn from the approach? Of course. RawkStarz: Women's co-cp sells raw food at Farmer's Market By Maureen Moore, TWN Staff Writer 08/20/2008 Robin Paz, Sarah Ryan and Caterina Lewis-Perry of RawkStarz. (Maureen Moore/TWN) (The Willits News) Sarah Ryan, Robin Paz and Caterina Lewis-Perry, co-owners of the emerging raw food business RawkStarz, are providing north county residents with a nutritious, environmentally friendly meal at the Willits Farmers Market held Thursdays on the north side of Bud Snider Park. Since its July 24 start, RawkStarz has been buying locally grown, organic food at the farmers market, and through work/trade arrangements with local growers, preparing a menagerie of raw dishes on-site and selling them to hungry marketgoers. Group's input behind restaurant concepts Jane Black, Washington Post August 20, 2008 WASHINGTON – When Sharon Greenspan went on a cross-country trip last year, she made sure to take photos of the restaurants she liked and to keep the menus. It was the easiest way to remember that “lasagna” of zucchini, spinach and pine nuts she ate in Asheville, N.C., and the creamy coconut shake she tasted in Sedona, Ariz. Greenspan thinks both would be great for Elements, a new restaurant she is helping to open here. Greenspan, 44, from Bethesda, Md., desperately wants a restaurant that caters to the raw food diet, which prescribes only fruit, vegetables, nuts, seeds and sprouts, none of which have been heated above 112 degrees. Sandra Oh - Oh Plots To Turn Castmates Vegan 08/20/2008 Actress SANDRA OH is winning her battle to convert her GREY'S ANATOMY co-stars to veganism, after treating them to a lunch at her favourite animal-friendly restaurant. Eating natural is Arnold's Way By Susan Gottshall, Special to The Morning Call August 14, 2008 Arnold's Way Arnold's Way Vegetarian Raw Cafe on Main Street in Lansdale has a cozy feel with a few tables among shelves stocked with health food. If ever there was a restaurant appropriately named, it would be Arnold's Way Vegetarian Raw Cafe in Lansdale. That's because owner Arnold Kauffman is a man on a mission -- to convert people to eating his way, the raw food way. Trend: Raw food By Cate Trotter Monday, August 11, 2008 Healthy, eco-friendly and innovative, raw food is offering a new way to excite and engage customers. Trend description Interest in raw food diets is growing, as cooked food gets slated in the media. Raw food proponents believe that cooking food destroys nutrients and enzymes as well as altering chemicals, so that food no longer benefits the consumer, introducing free-radicals and poisons instead. A raw food diet, which is vegan by nature, offers a supposedly healthier alternative, as well as offering sustainability benefits. The diet has a smaller carbon impact than a conventional one, due to its avoidance of animal products, lack of energy used for cooking, and inclusion of organic ingredients wherever possible. As garden grows, so does area gardener By Tara Bowie 8/6/08 When she moved into the house she rents on Gunn’s Hill Road, Susan Ladner told her landlord to remove the stove because she wouldn’t be needing it. “That came with a quizzical look,” Ladner said while walking through her two gardens recently. “I eat 100 per cent raw food, so I just don’t need one.” GO NATURAL: Food in the raw can be both cool and tasty While some of us may not want to give up on all cooked foods, adding some live food to your diet may be just the summer ticket for gaining vibrant health. Friday, August 1, 2008 By Rochelle Blank, CHHC, AADP A Natural Choice Vitality and beauty are gifts of Nature for those who live according to its laws. — Leonardo da Vinci It’s hot outside, so I am eating less cooked food. I want to cool down. I’m thinking — cool watery fruits and vegetables in delicious salads and dips, along with chilled soups and berry smoothies, and large glasses of water spiked with lemon or lime. I’m not thinking of hot soups, heavy foods or baked anything. For me, this intuitive approach to summer eating offers a wealth of health benefits. I’m also speaking about raw food, which is also referred to as live plant food, sun food or living foods. Raw food is simply organic food that hasn’t been cooked, at least not in the traditional sense. It is a plant-based vegan diet that adds a powerhouse of beneficial live plant foods to your food choices. Nothing cooking at Bethlehem's newest eatery Raw Love Cafe to feature uncooked fruits and vegetables sure to please vegetarians, vegans. Monday, July 28, 2008 By Lynn Olanoff, The Express-Times BETHLEHEM-A new eatery coming to Center City's restaurant row won't have a renowned cook. Actually, it won't have a cook at all. The cafe's name isn't kidding. The food at Raw Love Cafe will not be cooked. Raw food diet By Marge C. Enriquez Philippine Daily Inquirer 07/28/2008 MANILA, Philippines-Culinary artist Cherie Lou Ignacio was a walking drugstore for most of her life. She suffered from hypertension at 21 years old, had a baby who died in her womb at 23, suffered from arthritis in her 30s, not to mention high cholesterol, and had lived on heavy medication until her 40s. Meanwhile, she established a successful but stressful Quickmelt Ensaymada business, went through a rocky relationship and survived it. As if the travails weren’t enough, she was diagnosed with kidney stones. Not wanting to have them blasted, Ignacio decided to take the natural route by chucking in the white flour and refined sugar for a healthy diet of brown bread and green leafy vegetables. Eventually she met a naturopath who put her on a raw food diet. In three days, she was liberated from all her medications. Then she went on a detoxification program for another 10 days, eating salads, fresh fruits, coconut juice, tuber leaves, bitter gourd and radish. She lost three pounds on the first day. Then at the end of her program, she lost 16 pounds. “I lost weight without looking haggard,” she says. Then she decided to reinvent herself at midlife as a raw food chef. She sold her ensaymada business and decided to pursue an alternative lifestyle. “I was managing 200 employees. I was just too glad to let go,” says Ignacio. Online, a Community Gathers to Concoct A Neighborhood Eatery By Jane Black, Washington Post Staff Writer Sunday, July 27, 2008 When Sharon Greenspan went on a cross-country trip last year, she made sure to take photos of the restaurants she liked and to keep the menus. It was the easiest way to remember that "lasagna" of zucchini, spinach and pine nuts she ate in Asheville and the creamy coconut shake she tasted in Sedona. Greenspan thinks both would be great for Elements, a new restaurant she is helping to open in Washington. The 44-year-old North Bethesda resident desperately wants a restaurant here that caters to the raw food diet, which prescribes only fruit, vegetables, nuts, seeds and sprouts, none of which have been heated above 112 degrees Fahrenheit. Over the past year, she has dedicated as many as 10 hours each month to attending meetings, sharing her ideas on a community Web site and creating raw food treats such as oat-hemp balls to persuade others of the virtues of raw food. Meal made for a vegan Diners shunning animal products have more choices By Kimberly Chou, P-I Reporter Monday, July 21, 2008 At Sidecar for Pigs Peace, motivation for the all-vegan grocery is clear. An "Oink Drive" basket near the front of the store holds customer contributions for Pigs Peace Sanctuary, a nonprofit in Stanwood that cares for unwanted and abused pigs. On the request list: sanctuary-approved vegan hot dogs, pasta, tofu. Pigs' taste in comfort food, it seems, is close to that of their human counterparts. The University District grocery bills itself as the only "100 percent vegan store" in the state. ("The vegan world is small enough that we would know," said manager Doh Driver.) But the grocery is part of a movement that's making eating and buying vegan increasingly easier in the health-conscious Northwest and elsewhere. Vegetarians do not eat meat, though some (called lacto-ovo vegetarians) eat dairy and eggs; vegans abstain from all animal products. Local hubs of good vegan eating include bakeries such as Fremont's Flying Apron Organic Bakery (which is also gluten-free) and restaurants such as Squid & Ink in Georgetown and Chaco Canyon (which is also 95 percent organic and offers a raw food menu) in the University District. Veganism grows up By Wendy Rosenfeld For The Inquirer Thu, Jul. 17, 2008 Five months ago, I went from lapsed vegetarian to full-blown vegan, and somehow, by cutting my caloric options in half, gained five pounds. I'd always associated vegans with teeny-tiny hippie chicks in dreadlocks and yoga pants, arranging kombu in a pressure cooker before leaving for a job at the co-op. Obviously, times have changed. These days, going vegan requires almost no planning and, better yet, no dreadlocks. With the spread of Whole Foods and Trader Joe's, and the mainstreaming of the health-food ethos, delicious vegan choices are so plentiful that maintaining a "teeny-tiny" vegan physique is as tough as maintaining an omnivorous one. In addition to Horizons, the city's terrific vegan restaurant, nowadays I can grab a mock tuna sandwich at the Reading Terminal, vegan dim sum in Chinatown - and even vegan summer rolls in the suburbs. Dining out: At Omar's people dine in the raw No-cook restaurant offers food for every kind of taste By Vanessa Chang Special to The Tribune 07/16/2008 Loren Baum and his wife, Ferrah, stopped to get a piece... (Brenda Morfin / The Salt Lake Tribune ) Sugar House - A meat-eater, a lacto-ovo-pesco vegetarian and a picky eater walk into a raw food restaurant. They sit down and each order something different on the relatively small menu from the server who has his head endearingly in the clouds. They get their meal and the meat-eater says to the vegetarian, "hey you know, I'm actually really enjoying this bean burrito, even if it is wrapped in a cabbage leaf." Yes, that's right. Nothing in the pantry or refrigerator in the Sugar House kitchen of Omar's Living Cuisine is, or ever will be cooked. I know, I know. You think I've lost it. Gone bonkers reviewing a place that doesn't even "cook" the ingredients. But considering the blistering heat of recent forecasts and more importantly, the sad state of American nutrition and obesity, it's a worthy alternative to explore, health nut or not. No raw deal at Junction’s vegan diner Tuesday, July 8, 2008 By Liz Campbell I didn’t know what to expect from a restaurant without a stove. Rawlicious has dehydrators, choppers, blenders and other paraphernalia, but no oven. This new restaurant has grown out of personal commitment. When Tracey Mulvihill was diagnosed with cancer last fall, she and her partner, Angus Crawford, began to search for a healthy solution. They tried raw food and discovered not only was it helping her but Crawford also felt stronger and healthier. So they decided to share their new passion. According to Mulvihill, raw food can provide energy and vitality. Because nothing is heated above 118 ?F enzymes are not denatured and the vitamins and minerals remain in their natural state. But here’s the kicker: it actually tastes good. Seed takes root in Santa Rosa New vegan eatery earns praise from veggies and non-veggies alike Thursday, June 26, 2008 The North Bay's meat-free-set have a new place to rave about in Santa Rosa thanks to the addition of Seed, a month-old vegan restaurant on Sebastopol Avenue. The seven-table restaurant, on the east side of Highway 101, offers a menu completely void of meat and dairy-ravioli "flowers" made with macadamia nuts, sausage pizza made with nut cheese and even a brownie sundae. In addition to the lack of meat and cheese, everything on the menu is organic and most is raw and wheat free. Vegetarian or vegan diet takes "wise meal planning" Vegetarians (who don't eat meat) and vegans (who don't eat meat, dairy, eggs and other animal products) on average enjoy reduced risks of... By Karen Gaudette Seattle Times staff reporter Vegetarians (who don't eat meat) and vegans (who don't eat meat, dairy, eggs and other animal products) on average enjoy reduced risks of cardiovascular disease, Type 2 diabetes, cancer and other ailments, according to the American Dietetic Association. One reason is a conscious effort to obtain vital nutrients, like fiber, calcium and iron, said Dani Little, a registered dietitian with University of Washington Medical Center. Cook? Don't do it! Raw eats seen as a better way By Jan Norris, Cox News Service Wednesday, June 25, 2008 PALM BEACH, Fla. — Juliano, a star in the raw food world, came to "cook" dinner recently in Palm Beach, Fla. He is a chef of a cuisine that requires no stove or oven – and definitely no microwave. All five of the courses he prepared were made from "living" or raw foods, using a cutting board, a blender and a dehydrator. Interest in organic foods drives market Cafés, farms and wholesalers are benefiting from the interest in organic and raw foods. Mon, Jun. 23, 2008 By Robin Shear Special to The Miami Herald Marice Cohn Band / Miami Herald Staff Sheryn Abalos, left, and Barclay Graebner run the Art of Food Cafe, 3404 N.Miami Ave., which specializes in fresh organic natural cuisine. Sheryn Abalos' lasagne is not only meatless, it is wheatless, cheeseless, even pasta-less. Heck, IT is not even cooked. From her ''cold'' kitchen inside a funky art co-op, Abalos makes raw soups, salads, entrées like faux salmon, smoothies sweetened with agave nectar instead of sugar, signature herbal drinks called MarTEAnis and, of course, desserts -- made of spelt flour (lighter than wheat). For Hail Merry's Susan O'Brien (and scores of celebs) raw food is the way to health Friday, June 20, 2008 by Jackie Bolin, Special to the Dallas Morning News Madonna does it. Demi swears by it. And fashion designer Donna Karan says it was the only thing that helped her drop the extra 20 pounds she'd been trying to shed for decades. It's the raw-food diet, an increasingly trendy eating regimen that emphasizes raw fruits, nuts and vegetables whose enzymes, essential oils and fatty acids have not been depleted by heating above 120 degrees. Enthusiasts say raw foods aid in digestion, help the body absorb nutrients and can improve everything from the health of your heart to your complexion. CRUDESSENCE is striking a chord with consumers hungry for organic food and drinks Paul Delean, The Gazette Monday, June 16 They may be Montreal's most unlikely entrepreneurs, a pair of backpacking, wheatgrass-nibbling nomads with strong hippie leanings and a shared aversion to meat. Mathieu Gallant, 30, of Beloeil, and David Côté, 25, of Kamouraska, knew each other vaguely before crossing paths in Hawaii two years ago. That's when they realized their personalities meshed and they had a lot in common, including a passion for unprocessed food. The seed was planted then for a joint business venture, which came to fruition last year with the opening of Crudessence, a catering company specializing in raw food. Vegan diet and yoga fight cancer By Roger Highfield, Science Editor 06/16/2008 A vegan low fat diet combined with yoga and exercise can help fight prostate cancer, new findings show. Researchers found that combining a diet low in fat and rich in fruit and vegetables with regular moderate exercise seems to switch on genes that fight disease, while effectively turning off others that can promote cancer. Plant Foods For Preserving Muscle Mass ScienceDaily (May 31, 2008) — Fruits and vegetables contain essential vitamins, minerals and fiber that are key to good health. Now, a newly released study by Agricultural Research Service (ARS)-funded scientists suggests plant foods also may help preserve muscle mass in older men and women.
