This is great advice- I love that you chronicled your experience. Your dishes look amazing and are totally inspiring!

I find that this time of year is a great time to eat more raw. I can’t hang with it so much in the depths of MN winter, though…

thanks for sharing this! It is perfect timing for me since I am beginning a 60 day RAW challenge tomorrow. I am totally freaked out, but also VERY much looking forward to it..

I love Ecopolitan! The raw burrito makes me drool ) I went to PRIDE this past weekend too–it was the perfect weather for it and it was so nice to be outside!

Thanks for the wrap up–I enjoyed hearing about your experience following the raw diet. One thing that has kept me from going completely raw (I probably eat between 75-80% raw now) is the time/prep work that goes into the recipes.

Thanks again!

hannah – i definitely am from minneapolis! nice to meet you (in the virtual sense).

shellyfish – a lot of raw foodists argue of course that you can do raw all the time without fancy equipment; it’s just the equipment that keeps the food interesting. i don’t know, sometimes it seems they’re just trying to indoctrinate you into the cult (haha)… but ani phyo’s book is full of a lot of easy-to-make and 95% fancy equipment-free recipes if you haven’t checked it out yet.

veganhomemade – thanks for thankings!

Thanks for the great wrap-up A-K! I have indeed enjoyed reading about your raw adventures, because I’m really interested but know with my lack of equiplment (and budget) it would be hard to do totally raw. I am planning on doing a raw day a week- starting tomorrow!

Hello. I have just been surfing some vegan blogs and have noticed yours…It sounds an awful lot like you are from Minneapolis, MN. Is it true? Ecopolitan is probably my new favorite place to eat and I attended PRIDE today. I don’t know any other vegans in Minneapolis, so seeing your blog got me super excited!
