Raw foods- what does that mean??

Raw is made up of Vegetables, Leafy Greens (which is a vegetable lol but it is a HUGE component), Fruits, Raw Nuts, Raw Seeds, and some people do sprouted grains. Personally... I agree with Charm City... go with the salad. I tried the Raw diet for a while. I really agree with it... it just didn't agree with me. It is a very intense diet and not something I could stick to.

But with that said... get in your greens! And eat a lot of raw veggies. They're tasty, portable, and good for you too.

Is there life without a microwave?

Yup. I use it to heat up water for tea. That's it.

And only cause my roommate "needs" one. If it were my choice I'd just have a kettle.

Have you inherited your parents' eating habits?

Definitely not. I did inherit my Mother's deep love of eating out, but other than that...nada. They are both meat and potato eaters, and I am most definitely not. I've been dabbling in Veganism and Raw Foodism. They have no idea what's going on!

Favorite methods to learn daily home cooking?

Watch Food Network, read an Everyday With Rachael Ray magazine (it's cheaper than a cookbook) and buy Mark Bittman's How To Cook Everything.

You'll be cooking in no time.

What SMELLS better than it tastes?

Hahaha

Truer words have never been spoken Christina. I have to agree with the Vanilla. But also Bacon. I'm not a pig person, so I always think it smells great but I don't remotely enjoy eating it.

What Would You Make To Help a Family Through a Tough Time?

I would've said lasagna as well. Cookies are always welcome because families in need tend to get a lot of food food. But a big container of soup or stew is great too. Along with chili and bean based dishes.

Best places to eat in New York City

Hmm...I guess I'd say that I want to stay around Greenwich or so. Union Sq Park area. I'm not really feeling Asian cuisine however.

I think that I am going to try The Spotted Pig for lunch. I still need a place for dinner though.

So far the Batali restaurants have gone over well?
