Rawr.

As a brief glance at this blog will reveal, I am not a raw foodist. I have the utmost respect for those who choose to eat fully- or high-raw diets, I'm just not convinced it is the only healthy way to eat, and I love me some cooked food. And since I'm vegan for ethical, rather than health reasons, I see no hipocrisy in the way I operate.

However. On a hot day, particularly if I'm cooking for just me, I do enjoy a bowl full of uncooked produce. We rarely have lettuce or leaves in the house, so these aren't necessarily recognisable as salads, but they are damn tasty.

Raw corn, tomato, and cucumber salad. If you have never tried raw corn, what are you waiting for? It is so delicious, Andy and I rarely eat corn cooked.

And there ain't nothing wrong with just fruit for dinner either. Particularly during mango season. Mango, apple, orange, banana, and cucumber. The cuke offered a fresh, clean alter to the sweet mango & banana and the tart orange & apple.
