As I mentioned in a previous blog raw food doesn't have to be carrot and celery sticks. The same creativity you use decorating a cake you use to make a raw dish. Its about letting go of limitations and just learning to combine the ingredients in another way.

As ridiculous as it sounds you just have not not be afraid of trying new things. Some people when it comes to cooking are afraid of trying new things.Making raw food is just about learn new skills and sometimes you do make mistakes (trust me I know!). Most people are brought up where most meals are cooked and so its about moving away from that.

To me making mistakes is one of the best parts of preparing food, there is something rather fun about standing there in the kitchen surrounded by cocoa because you forgot to put the lid on the blender.

It takes time sometimes to move away from standard recipes and learn how to do raw food. I like starting by trying to reinvent classic recipes like; spaghetti and cake cake and ones that we grew up with because its fantastic when they work out!
And as long as you balance your diet you still get all the nutrition you need (regardless of what people say!) Often the things we cook are not that beneficial for us any way (like meat!)

The thing I aim for most when making recipes is not to make it boring, even when its something simple like a salad try not to make it all green, throw some colour in there!
