We've had a few e-mails about raw food and the elitist attitude that can come with it. We can't deny that some people have that attitude, people are people and some people like to be judgemental for whatever reason. In our own experience of raw "judgement", Em and I had the delightful opportunity of having a raw proponent scoff at us for being so disgusting as to "even consider" consuming an animal product (we were talking about goat's cheese and how it's been a fantastic food that helped our transition from pre-tummy issues to living with tummy issues).
On the other hand, we've met lovely raw people who prefer not to wax lyrical about their food choices or do the hard sell (you know who you are). Instead we've chatted about things other than the latest superfood or a brand new supplement. Don't get us wrong, we love chatting about food and life and lifestyle choices...but we, like most people, don't do so well with being preached at by anyone. Especially people who arrogantly tell you that your food choices are wrong, despite the fact that they know nothing about you or your diet.
The Sunny Raw Kitchen is a fantastic resource for anyone interested in tasty recipes and raw food. Run by the lovely Carmella Soleil, it has to be the best raw food blog. Most of the recipes use easy to source ingredients and they are always delicious.
If you are in the U.S. then you are lucky enough to be in close proximity to the food tours she does! So jealous right now!
You might be thinking that I'm bigging up my friend, but I don't know Carmella personally. I've been following the Sunny Raw Kitchen for ages and, in fact, it's what inspired the following post. Which is why it seemed only necessary to introduce you to the wonder that is The Sunny Raw Kitchen.
Check it out and let us know what you think :)
I love carmi's site too! wish i was that creative! Thanks Layla!
