Making other people’s recipes

Standard / by / April 29, 2011 / 23 Comments

Last weekend I made other people’s recipes.  I read so many food blogs and cookbooks, and take cooking classes in which I get great recipes, that I simply decided to rely on others.

I started by making a great raw bread recipe from Bitt of Raw.

Bitt's Basic Buckwheat Bread

I made a sandwich with Christine’s zucchini hemp humus, romaine lettuce, a slice of tomato and spiralized cucumber.

Bitt of Raw's bread + The Raw Project's zucchini-hemp humus = DELICIOUS!

Then I decided that my non-Easter dinner (I’m Buddhist) would include dishes from the chefs who led the two recent raw classes in which I participated.

First, a  fabulous raw mock mashed potato dish from Andrea McNinch

Mashed Potatoes (jicama base)

and her raw twist on french fries.

Avo-Fries (avocado dredged in ground flaxseed)

And, finally, a modification of Russell James‘ raw pasta

Macadamia Mozzarella "pasta"

from his e-book “The Raw Chef’s 5 most Popular Recipes.”

Yes, yes, I am aware that this dinner doesn’t scream “theme” or even make sense in any real way.  I wanted to try raw fries, I wanted to try raw mashed potatoes and I wanted to try raw “mozzarella” pasta. And mostly, I wanted to try other people’s food.

While I was making other people’s recipes on Easter, a few folks were making my recipes!

Thanks, JodyLynn and Tawney (love your Peter Rabbit plate)! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipes!

Readers, what recipes have you tried recently from food blogs or cookbooks?  Feel free to share links! By the way, I moderate posts with links so be patient, I will approve it (if you’re not spamming me!) when I return from a fun, “raw” afternoon in Arizona…more on that later!

    1. I just say your post today! Too funny that we both posted “OPR”! The avo fries were great! The original recipe were bland but I added some taco seasoning and chili powder and really like them.

  4. Perhaps one day I will venture out and just “play” in the kitchen and try to create some recipes of my own. Right now though, I depend on other people’s food. Thanks for keeping me well fed!

    2. There’s a lot can you do with even a little one! People often do crackers or dollops of the bread instead if it’s a round one.

  6. Mmmmm! Everything looks so good! I have a bookmark folder full of blog recipes I want to try. I have only done a few, but I have big plans for trying more 🙂

  7. Ooh I want a raw avocado fry!! Yum! I’ve had the cooked version and it’s so good.

    Can you believe I screwed up my own bread recipe the second time? I over dehydrated it/sleep in. Glad it worked out for you.

  8. Everything looks so yummy!
    I recently tried the Creamy Avocado Pasta from Oh She Glows, de-licious and so easy to make. It’s really something I wouldn’t experiment with myself but I’m glad she did 🙂

  10. YUM! What did you think of the Russell’s Macadamia Pasta? I made it once but thought it was a lot of work for the results… I liked some of the ideas though, and will probably remake with adjustments in the future… but just thought it was kinda bland for the effort?

    1. My version was fairly modified due to lack of ingredients / veggies. I actually liked it very much. Do you eat a lot of raw? I find that the more I eat raw foods, the more “flexible” my taste buds are! LOL
