High-energy raw vegan recipes from Vancouver’s famed Gorilla Foods café.
GORILLA FOOD Living and Eating Organic, Vegan, and Raw NEW RELEASE
Raw food diets have exploded in popularity in recent years; some believe that the cooking process destroys nutrients and even produces dangerous chemicals through the interaction of heat with fat, protein, and carbohydrates. Enter Aaron Ash, a charismatic chef whose organic raw vegan restaurant Gorilla Food has taken Vancouver by storm for its inventive and delicious dishes, all prepared without the use of animal products or a stove. Aaron is a conscientious raw vegan whose beliefs about food are tied to personal and social well-being. Gorilla Food strives to promote the idea that a sustainable, healthy culture depends on humankind living as “lightly” as possible, mitigating the damage wrought on the environment and ourselves. Gorilla Food the book is both an innovative cooking manual and a raw vegan bible; recipes include a raw lasagna made with zucchini “newdles,” kale, a “cheese” made from walnuts, and a raw soup made from seasonal greens, tomatoes, and avocado. There are also amazing raw pizzas, fruit pies, and chocolate desserts that will delight vegans and non-vegans alike with their surprisingly complex flavors. As well, the book contains recipes for dehydrated and cultured foods, important for a raw food diet and surprisingly simple to prepare.
