Spiralised Carrot and Chickpea Pad Thai, plus a spiraliser review

My second book (High Protein Vegan) already has a recipe for a grain-free pad Thai, but seeing as I didn’t have any cabbage on hand, didn’t have the time to make a batch of soy-free tofu and I now have a magical veggie pasta maker, I thought I would try making a different version.

This new recipe is just as delicious as the original recipe, I don’t even miss the crispy bits of fried soy-free tofu.

Not only does it provide the basics for someone to start on raw food - kale chips, healthy smoothies and breakfasts, nut milk, 'cheeses', hummus, breads, crackers, but also plenty of unique recipes that will appeal to even long-term raw foodists.

One of the things I especially appreciate about this book is the flexibility - in most of the recipes Amber provides details of how to substitute ingredients - so I know that if I don't have one particular nut on hand the recipe will still work with another, if I don't have maple syrup, agave will work etc.

Most of the ingredients have been stuff I usually have around in the kitchen, and I live somewhere that doesn't have access to a lot of the stuff many US cookbooks ask for. When 'weird' ingredients are called for, there is usually a substitution listed, or they are entirely optional, for example in the case of Irish moss the author lets us know exactly what purpose this serves in raw breads, and has made the recipes both with and without it so we know that they will work. When recipes call for fresh coconuts, she offers alternative ingredients that can be used in their place - great for people that have trouble finding fresh coconuts.

The cooked options are good for those of us that don't have dehydrators, haven't planned meals ahead or don't want to be raw all the time, but still want to make healthy allergy-friendly recipes from whole food ingredients.

I've read a few raw food books and none have appealed to me as much as this one. Recipes that I have marked out to make include: apple pie smoothie, chia porridge with blueberries, banana bread squares, apple cinnamon raisin bread, nut and seed flatbread, basic flax crackers, graham crackers, basic nut cheese, sour cream and onion kale chips, pizza kale chips, coconut-vanilla kale chips, spinach salad with asian ginger vinaigrette, spaghetti alla marinara, almond butter sesame noodles, mushroom-nut burgers, sopes con mole poblano, deconstructed sushi bowl, stuffed peppers with sunseed hash, vegetable korma masala, primavera pesto pizza, moroccan grated carrot toss, cauliflower 'rice' pilaf, build-your-own energy bars, chocolate almond butter cookies, crunchy salted cashew cookies, white chocolate coconut fudge bites, chocolate-covered cookie dough truffles, caramel fudge brownies, cinnamon crumble coffee cake, warm apple walnut cobbler, sugared doughnut holes, classic vanilla bean ice cream and strawberry cheesecake gelato.

So far I have made the cooked options for these recipes:
Chocolate kale chips - these are a really tasty way to eat this nutritious green, and my 18 month old liked them too and (with the exception of smoothies) I've never seen him eat leafy greens before.
Baklava nut medley - this tastes just like baklava, but without all the hassle of working with filo pastry. Really easy to make and nice to eat.
Vermicelli with pecan cream sauce - Delicious. I made it with walnuts instead, and didn't plan this ahead so I didn't soak the nuts - just added some extra water and left all the ingredients in the blender to soak for a few minutes before blending while the pasta cooked, it still turned out really well. Served it with cooked wholemeal spaghetti and raw sugar snap peas.
Famous 5 minute blondies - really nice, I've made this twice and it's only taken 5 minutes to make before getting to eat it. I used almonds instead of walnuts (this wasn't listed as an alternative ingredient in the book, but worked anyway).
Caramel fudge brownies - delicious. I've had raw brownies before which are always tasty, but the caramel icing on these really turned them into something different.

The great recipes and flexible approach to raw foods make this a book I will be using a lot - and given the quality of the desserts in this book I can't wait for the author's next book Practically Raw Desserts. ...more "
