Today is DAY 1 for me of 100% raw. I am doing pretty good. I have tried 3 of Alissa's recipes so far-2 dressings--which I liked, and I tried the recipe for Alfredo. I did not like this at all. :(

What are your favorite recipes from the book---the ones you make over and over? Or, do you have any that you have found that you make over and over and really enjoy?

Thanks all!

Pesto stuffed mushrooms and the calzone. Worth the effort. Also, search on the forum for Tropigal's crunchy chewy garlicky toasts. Great!

rye bagels (I add some water and make thin flat cracker/bread instead of bagels)
watermelon soup
gus' pesto

These are the 3 most made recipes. There are lots more that I like but I just LOOOOOOVE these!

eta: although I haven't made this in ages, the date nut torte is WONDERFUL and so easy to make. The best desert that I have tried (I haven't tried them all though) from the book.

If this is the beginning of raw for you then it will take a little time for your tastes to adjust to eating this way. It took me almost a month. Now I love fruits and veggies that I didnt like before and I crave raw foods. I ate a lot of fruit (especially bananas), smoothies, and salads in the beginning because thats all that tasted good to me. I like the Ceasar dressing recipe in Alissa's book and there are also some great dressing threads in this forum. My personal favorite is olive oil, lemon juice, sea salt, and chopped italian parsley.
My fav Alissa recipes are
collard rolls
calzone
pasta marinara
date nut torte
fudge balls
mock salmon pate
blueberry cheesecake
strawberry crepes
apple pie
mashed potatoes
stuffed portobellas
enchilladas
pizza but I use calzone crust recipe to make pizza crust
onion dip
raviolis
cinnamin raisin bread

So far...I am absolutely in love with Alissa's Beanless Falafels.
I wrap them up in a savoy cabbage leaf with hummus, tomato and cucumber...YUMMMM!!
Even my Hubby, who is not raw and loves the s.a.d. version says they are great. :D
