Way back in June, Olanna invited Carly, Ingrid and I to a raw foods dinner party that Chef Rod Rotondi (BC grad!) was throwing in Venice. The brilliant chef was filming a pilot to his television show called Eat Me Raw and below is a clip. Wow, I have beautiful friends!
The food was surprisingly more exciting than I had expected -- I liked the raw version of chips and dip -- dehydrated, pressed veggies with a pureed nut paste. And I did leave the party feeling satiated, yet light and clean. Hopefully raw foods will make a bigger impact in the food scene. For me personally, I don't think a full raw diet change is in my future. Call me stubborn, too set in my ways, or petulant, but I love *warm* foods. Raw food can offer fun, inventive flavors and textures, but it will never sizzle!
