Detox Food

3. If you have a Champion Juicer, you can use it to make soft ice cream. Frozen ripe bananas plus raspberries blend into a delicious treat.

4. Salad always tastes great with the Boutenko family's "Generic Salad Dressing Recipe." I have a copy on my website, at www.rawfoodwiki.org--the first "hit" if you search for the word "generic," but I recommend their books, for more great recipes.

5. Sharing food is more fun.

Okay, now you've got a potluck to attend. What to make? Honestly, no one will mind if you bring a regular salad or fruit salad. If you want to explore something outside your usual fare try the recipe sites above. On my site, rawfoodwiki.org, you can actually add your own recipes directly. (Please take care not to delete anything.) You can also search for recipes by ingredient. On Vegweb.com, you can submit your own recipes which will be reviewed and edited before being added to the page. Scroll down to the raw options, at http://vegweb.com/cgi/submit.cgi

If you find a recipe that you love on one of these pages, let me know, I'd like to try it too! My current favorites include the Cream of Celery Soup, Tomato Soup, and Raw Apple Pie.

Books for detox food.

* Raw Family: A True Story of Awakening

* Eating Without Heating

* Detox Your World

* Hooked on Raw

* The Saucy Vegetarian

* Sproutman's Kitchen Garden Book

These are some of my favorite recipe books. Raw Family has only a few (great) recipes, but it tells a terrific story. Eating Without Heating is by the teenage children in that family; their recipes are delicious and accessible. Detox Your World is a superb self-published book by Shazzie. Get it directly from detoxyourworld.com. I once combined the last two books into a wedding present. A recent raw food enthusiast has put together a more extensive book list, at http://www.fromsadtoraw.com/RawBooks.htm

My favorite inspiration to eat raw detox food comes from pictures of people who've done it. They look great. "SAD" in the third URL stands for "Standard American Diet." I've got a collection of more of these visual transformation stories at http://www.rawfoodwiki.org/index.php/Photographs

Durian Palace

Speaking of photographs, check out the Durian Palace. There's never been a more loving tribute to a fruit. In contrast, here are some accurate and amusing quotes about how bad durians smell, even when perfectly ripe and ready-to-eat. http://www.confabulist.com/root?story=durian_returns

Here's a good illustration--a man with a durian and a nose clip!--http://www.smithsonianmag.si.edu/smithsonian/issues99/sep99/durian.html

Can you guess that I'm not a durian fan? I know some people who think it's the best food on earth! Decide for yourself. You're most likely to find one at an Asian market.

Special Profile--Free Alan Yurko

I look forward to sharing raw cuisine with Alan Yurko and his family when he is free. You may remember him as the man sent to prison for life, wrongly convicted of the murder of his vaccinated son. The medical examiner in this case was suspended in February 2004, after the discovery of egregious errors in the autopsy. (He had misidentified the baby's race, age, and head circumference, for instance, and even described organs that he never examined--they had already been harvested for transplant.) I encourage Townsend Letter readers to learn more about Alan Yurko's story, and consider making a contribution toward his considerable legal expenses. You could mail a check, or contribute via the PayPal link, or get some cool stuff at the online "Yard Sale." Alan has already been incarcerated for 6 1/2 years.
