Raw Coconut Christmas Cake

10968522_778755722209830_1070500986197201250_nToday, I carried out a Raw Food Class, and we make a Raw Coconut Christmas Cake with five attendees. We used fresh young coconuts and raw coconut nectar, sprouted dry buckwheat and dry white mulberries, instead of cashew nuts and of agave nectar. Strawberry season started already in Japan. Putting strawberries on top of Christmas cake is so popular among gourmet Japanese, so I used the most beautiful strawberries today.Thanks to all attendees we enjoyed making a beautiful Christmas cake. I look forward to meeting you again!

 

Here is a video recipe of this yummy cake:

Chocolate-Pistachio Tartlets

chocotarte

I don’t make a raw yogurt very often, but if I have a chance to get fresh young coconuts, I always make  an ice cream, cake and yogurt from coconut meat. This week my friend send me a box of fresh coconuts and I loved to drink coconut water and eat raw coconut meat without any cooking and only two of them I use for making my yogurt 😉 My family wanted something sweet and I created this raw version of Chocolate-Pistachio Tartlets from Vegetarian magazine recipe. These mini tarts can be made up to a day in advance – simply garnish with fruits right before serving. Makes 5 tartlets. Continue reading

GREEN SHISO SAUSE

Shiso Leaves Green and PurplePerilla (shiso) is either red or green, the red perilla having an anise flavor and slightly less spicy than the green variety, which tastes more like cinnamon. The leaves, which are rich in calcium and iron, are used for seasoning, coloring, pickling and garnishing. Shiso leaves can be used whole or cut into strips. Use the flower buds by collecting the seeds at the end of the season to sprinkle on salad. The Japanese, in particular, use the red variety to color umeboshi and pickled ginger. Perilla seeds form an essential part of the famous seven spices of Japan, which originated more than 300 years ago in Kyoto.

Recipe:

1/2 cup cashews, soaked

1 tablespoon lime juice

10 Vicia faba, also known as the broad bean, fava bean, faba bean, field bean, bell bean, or tic bean

5 leaves shiso (Perilla frutescens)

2 teaspoon white miso

1 big date or 1 teaspoon agave

Pinch salt / 2 tablespoon water or more if needed. Blend until very smooth.

Bon Appetit!
