Raw foodism is a movement promoting the 
consumption
of uncooked, unprocessed, and often organic
foods, as a large percentage of the diet.
A raw food diet consists fully of foods which have not been heated above
a certain temperature. The maximum temperature varies among the different
forms of the diet, from 92ºF to
118ºF (33°C to
48°C). Raw food diets may include a selectıon of raw fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, eggs, fish, meat and unpasteurized dairy products
(such as raw
milk, cheese and yogurt).
A raw foodist is a person who consumes primarily raw food. Raw foodists typically believe that the greater the percentage of raw food in the diet, the greater the health benefits. They generally believe raw food prevents and/or heals many forms of sickness and many chronic diseases. Freezing food is considered acceptable by many raw foodists; some choose to preserve nuts and seeds in a freezer.
Many foods in raw food diets are simple to prepare, such as fruits,
salads and dairy. Other foods can require considerable advanced
planning to prepare for eating.
Rice and some other grains, for example, requires sprouting or overnight soaking to become digestible. Many raw foodists believe it is best to soak nuts before eating them, in order to activate their enzymes.
How do you cook? Try to make meals raw or lightly cooked, and eventually combined 80%-20%.
What can I eat? A great variety of alkalising foods, primarily vegetables, vegetable juices and green foods along with other selected foods.
Some recipes will alkalize and heal the body by alkalising the blood and tissues. Some recipes are offered to present wider choices to people at all levels of wellness.
In the beginning choose fewer foods for the simplest load on digestion.Just because we are capable od digesting many different types of foods, doesn't mean we can do so all at once.
Try to use organic foods whenever possible.
Below is a recipe from a book by Dr Robert Young and Shelley Redford Young.

BraggTm Liquid Aminos is a healthy substitute to flavour almost all food recipes.

- In a blender, puree the warmed broccolli, bell pepper, onion, avocado, and celery, thinning with additional water if neccessary to achieve the desired consistency. If desired, save the broccolli stalks, peeling off the tough outer skin, process them in a food processor until they are small chunks,and add them to the soupjust before serving to add crunch.

Here are some of my recipes for very simple salads that take literally minutes to prepare... More to follow....!
I think the secret to a good salad is to finish it with a dressing of sea salt, organic cider vinegar and a good quality oil. I use either olive, hemp or pumpkin seed making sure I get my omega 3, 6 and 9.
A simple salad of avocado tossed with different salad leaves, olives and sunflower seeds.
Added colour with organic cherry tomatoes and sprouted alfafa beans.
Batons of organic carrots with sunflower seeds in a sea salt, organic cider vinegar and organic virgin olive oil dressing.
Slithers of organic garlic add to the healing properties of chives, organic lettuce, tomatoes and seeds
Finely Shredded white cabbage in a sea salt, cider vinegar and white oil dressing, The cabbage was blanched by pouring a kettle of boiling water over it and then allowing it to go cold.
A delicious end to your meal.
Elderflowers picked straight off the tree, gently fried in a light batter and finished off with icing sugar...naughty but nice!
