Well, holy Leonardo DeCaprio!I just found out that you can drink sake while eating Raw. And I love sake terribly, so this is quite exciting. Here's a great recipe I found from the book (I just checked out at my local librair) called LIVING RAW FOOD by Sarma Melngailis.
Raspberry Sunset
Serves 4
1 half pint red raspberries, slightly crushed
1/2 cup yuzu juice (If you can't find yuzu juice, just add a bit more lemon and lime)
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
1/3 cup agave nectar
1 1/2 cup sake
3/4 cup sparkling wine
Mint sprigs for garnish (optional)
Divide the crushed berries among four tall glasses and fill to the rim with ice.
Combine the yuzu juice, lemon juice, lime juice, agave, and sake in a pitcher or bowl and mix well. Pour the liquid over the ice and berries.
Top off each glass with the sparkling white wine, and garnish with mint sprigs.
Now does that sound good or what?
P.S. I am on Day 6 of eating Raw and so far so good. I have not caved yet. Have I wanted to pull my hair out? Yes. Have I wanted to punch people in the face who are eating pizza? Yes. But I'm hanging in there. Its a tricky diet at first because you feel like you can't eat anything besides nuts fruit and veggies...which is true, but I'm still working on the "mixing all those ingredients up so they taste great" part. One day at a time. Maybe that Raspberry Sunset will give me some inspiration!
