Theme: Warm up winter!

Raw luck july Raw Luck Club   July 2010

– It is so cold so let’s use the opportunity to practice making a warming raw vegan meal – you can do this using warming spices & herbs, warm coloured fruits & veggies like red, orange, yellow, etc., and denser foods. The other way of heating raw food is to:  if wet, warm in a pot until just to hot to keep your finger in it, or if dry, eat it straight out of the dehydrator. Search online for inspiration.

Speaker:
Professor Celene Bernstein, author of ‘Health Seekers’ book (raw and transition recipes, health plans and advice). We will be discussing ‘Raw’, ‘Veganism’, ‘How to do the raw diet successfully’ and ‘Are supplements needed if you are eating raw food. If so, which sup
plements?’. This should be a very interesting discussion. I plan to have spea
kers or to show a movie at potlucks from July onwards.

Date:
15.7.2010

Time:
Doors open at 6pm. Dinner is at 7pm sharp.

Venue:
The Regent Hotel:  21 West Road South, Sandton (behind the Morningside Clinic)

Password at the door:

R10 entrance fee for using the venue + a raw vegan food meal – pls print a label of exactly what is in your meal as some people are strict vegans or have certain diet ‘can’s and cant’s’

Pls also print 1 copy of your recipe out (even if just a web page or a photocopy from a recipe book) so everyone can write it down and make it at home.

Nino’s Fry’s Vegetarian

Having just noticed Wimpy’s move to make more accommodation to vegetarians, I was again surprised to find that Nino’s have changed their menu once again and this time to give vegetarians what they think we like to eat – meat substitutes.

Nino’s from way back was one of the restaurants that one could enjoy a vegetarian snack then a few years ago they changed their menu and we noticed that a number of the vegetarian options had been removed so we stopped going there. Yesterday I noticed that they have Fry’s strips in a number of interesting options. I tried the Thai strips. This was made up of Fry’s strips prepared with Thai Chilli sauce on a bed of lettuce, cucumber strips and tomato. As options go, this was most enjoyable.

I know that there are those of you out there that are not only vegetarian, but are dairy and wheat intolerant and do not therefore eat the meat substitutes and of course those that don’t eat or tolerate soya. This information has still got to trickle down to the likes of Nino’s, Wimpy etc. Well it’s 2010 and finally they are making an effort to give us vegetarians some acknowledgement.
