Cauliflower Mash + Mushroom Gravy

Cauliflower is one of my favorite vegetables. It's beautiful, comes in white, green, and purple varieties, and works wonderfully processed into a mash. This is my version of mashed potatoes. Serve with a gravy on it's own, or alongside your favorite recipe.

Simple Rosemary Oregano Noodle Salad

Here's a super fast and easy recipe I made the other day when I had very little time to eat, but needed a break from my computer for a few short minutes. I didn't feel like a green salad, and wanted something a bit more substantial.

Ani’s Thai Spring Rolls with Almond Dipping Sauce

In this video, I'll show you how easy it is to make delicious, nutritious Thai Spring Rolls with an Almond Dipping Sauce. My yummy, super healthy, raw food version of a peanut inspired sauce is made using kaffir lime leaves, chilies, and almonds. The rolls are made by filling collard leaves with julienne zucchini, mung bean sprouts, and fresh herbs like cilantro, mint, and basil.

Ani at Erewhon in LA with Kate Magic

Watch video: 8 min, 15 sec Kate Magic was visiting from the UK last fall. In this video, you can watch our visit to Erewhon Natural Foods in the heart of Los Angeles, CA. I believe Erewhon was SoCal's first natural food market and co-op. It's full of the healthiest foods, cookbooks, natural eco green cleaning products, and lots more. Rooted in macrobiotics, they have a great book selection too. Erewhon offers a huge array of raw food products in their store, it's probably the largest raw selection in the world. The raw food goodies take up 2 full isles, end caps, plus a refrigerated section. It's always a treat to peruse the isles to see what new raw food products have hit the marketplace. Kate and I enjoyed a lovely day playing around West Hollywood. We started out at lunch eating delicious collard roll wraps, then stopped into Trashy Lingerie next door. Since raw foods keep me at my ideal weight, makes my skin smooth and clear, and helps me build a lean, strong body, it makes shopping for and wearing lingerie easier. Next, we visited a thrift store, which is my favorite way to shop. It's recycled fashion, eco, green, good for our environment, and it's true that one person's trash can be another person's treasure. Finally, we then made it over to Erewhon. Kate will be back in LA in August this year. I look forward to continuing our SoCal adventures together!

Tour Dates for Ani’s Raw Food Essentials

I'm excited about my newest book Ani's Raw Food Essentials, available everywhere by May 3rd. It's a huge hard cover book with over 250 recipes. It's printed in 2 color, like Ani's Raw Food Kitchen. My goal is to make my books accessible, and get these recipes into your hands so you can enjoy making healthy treats with them. By printing in 2 color instead of full color, the book only costs $27 rather than $45. There's gorgeous color inserts, as you can see from the photos above.
