An Apple a Day the Dr W Way!

These local organic Gravenstein apples from Sebastopol in Sonoma County are just picked with a perfect crunch factor. I'll be happily including them in this weeks Dr W menus.

A Salad Worth Rooting For

Here's my favorite root salad, introduced to me by Lora Elise and full of flavors of the earth. It's a blend of grated root vegetables and fruit. I used grated celery root, turnip, parsnip, carrot, radish, and kohlrabi. For fruit I used diced grapefruit and nectarine. I then added a bag of mung bean sprouts (for crunch), and seasoned with minced mint and leek. The salad was inspired by a Swedish root salad in "Raw Food" by Erica Palmcrantz and Irmela Lilja.

The Raw Food Library

A trip to the bookstore this morning for some raw food inspiration...

A Perfect Peach

Today was a peachy day. At the farmer's market we bought some luscious peaches that were tree ripened in the Central Valley. Usually I like to mix my fruit in my salad... but not these sweet babies! I wanted to sink my teeth into something that was as close to perfect as a piece of fruit can be. So I did... for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!
