It's important to play around with recipes and get creative. There are some amazing dishes out there. But it is also important to be aware of the things you are eating. Going on a high raw diet is beneficial but there are things you have to watch out for.
Some of the more gourmet recipes can be quite heavy on the nuts. Whilst using almonds, cashews etc can allow you to do a lot of different things and create textures, it is important not to over do them. Nuts are a good source of protein however they also contain fat. The fat isn't bad in itself and we all need a little, but in high doses obviously it will have a negative impact. So don't go overboard with the recipes that contain nuts because they can also be hard on the digestive system. Nuts are a quite 'heavy' and dense food. It is OK to have some every now and then but again its all about balance.
You can still have meals without them that are filling. Play around until you find something that works for you. You can substitute nuts for seeds or even a vegetable sometimes that would work as a base in recipes. Even raw and soaked, too many nuts can work against you. The recipes heavy on the nuts almost need to be an occasional food and don't think that its the only way to do things. A salad dish does not have to be boring or unsatisfying.
Mix it up and experiment and don't be afraid of doing it a little differently.
