Bethenny Show with Ani Phyo

Ani Phyo, wellness expert and author of "Ani's Raw Food Detox," and Dr. Joy Dubost, registered dietician and nutritionist, hash it out in a raw food detox diet debate! We celebrated my national TV appearance at a viewing party yesterday in downtown LA at the Bunker Hill Bar and Grill, where all their monitors were tuned to The Bethenny Show for my segment. We watched the show live as Dr. Joy and myself debated the pros of the Raw Food Diet.

Roasted Sunchoke Recipe

Have you tried sunchokes yet, aka Jerusalem artichoke? They are the tuber of the sunflower plant, and available at our local farmers' markets here in Los Angeles. As with all tubers, they are full of minerals and vitamins and help boost our immune system in the wintertime. When eaten fresh and raw, sunchokes have a light crisp, similar to water chestnut. And are delicious sliced and served as a 'chip' with dips like guacamole and hummus. I tried roasting sunchokes in my friend's convection oven, tossed in a splash of olive oil. The texture was similar to a sweet potato, starchy and delicious. A warming comfort food on a cold winter day. Enjoy this vegan, gluten-free, superfood recipe: Roasted Sunchokes 2 pounds sunchokes, scrubbed 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Toss together the sunchokes and oil in a large bowl. Spread on baking tray and roast for 20 minutes, or until tender and golden brown.

Korean Pumpkin Porridge

This Korean Pumpkin Porridge is one of my favorite cooked autumn soups. It's called 'ho bak jook', and is made with cooked pumpkin squash, plus rice mochi to give it a thick texture. A few black beans are added in for garnish, and it's delicious served up with spicy fermented pickles like kimchi for added probiotics. This is a hearty vegan comfort food on a cold day. This soup is heated up, but it started from fresh, whole, raw pumpkin squash. Mochi needs to be cooked though. I'll have to figure out a raw food recipe for this dish, but for now, I'm loving it hot! A good way to boost our beta-carotene for winter and immunity boosting.
