Birthday Boy ~*

Happy Birthday! Celebrated S's Bday at a delish raw food restaurant~

Pure Food and Wine in the city around Union Square. Just a beautiful subterranean spot with gorgeous dishes layered and all raw, meaning nothing is cooked above a certain temperature to retain the nutrients our food gives us.

Have been re-introduced to this very creative, healthy and delicious way to eat through him~ one of the many things he is passionate about.

For the food porn enthusiasts check out the menu:

The pictures came out over exposed but we had the
Dolmas and Samosas
White Corn Tamales with Raw Cocoa Mole
Chanterelle and Kalamata Olive Ravioli
Chocolate Tini
White Sangria

The chocolate molten lava cake cake was outta control, with a peppercorn pink vanilla ice cream

You can just tell how people there care about food and how everyone just glows,
including us!

How do you make ice cream and cake raw? Or anything really? It's a lot easier than you think. I am still in the process of obsorbing it all and will report back soon, but mostly through a lot of raw nuts and veg, you can make anything - really! And it tastes better than the real deal. Scott made a raw lasangna last week for my sister (awww) which he used zucchini in place of the pasta, and it totally worked- even better to me than the "real deal" and I didn't feel bloated or outta sorts like I do when I eat pasta.

Anyway, sorry to take up your bday post with all this talk about raw food, but knowing you, it's exactly what you would have wanted anyhow. Hope you had a beautiful day darlin~ I am so happy to be spending this time with you-
so glad u were born~*
