Raw Food diet

[lashbear]

Has anyone eaten at 118 Degrees restaurant in Costa Mesa yet?

I have read a lot about Raw Food Diets being able to reverse Diabetes and do all sorts of amazing things, and so, while I don't intend to go ALL raw (not for a long time, I expect) I am now aiming at a minimum 80% raw diet if I can.

I have discovered so many yummy raw dishes that it's becoming decidedly easier to achieve. No Raw Corndog recipes yet, but you never know....

Anyhow, my favourite raw recipe for now is Jennifer Cornbleet's Garden Vegetable Soup - it's incredibly creamy and green and it's currently my #1 Fave.

Wot's In It?
1/2 zucchini
1/2 ripe tomato
1/2 celery stalk
1/2 cup chopped spinach
3 fresh basil leaves
1/2 spring onion
1/2 clove garlic
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoons Shiro (white) Miso
Dash of cayenne
Dash of Salt
1/2 an avocado
3/4 cup water

Blend all together. I like to warm it gently to about 40°c (118°F - which is where the restaurant got it's name.)
