Wow!  All the recipes look mouthwatering, however for a new raw foodie, I wouldn't know what quantities to use.  Are you able to give measurements for - apple crumble, carrot cake & apricot whip?  Thanks heaps.

Oh wow!!! They all look fantastic but that carrot cake!! Sooo when can we come round to your house... ;)

But seriously I've been feeling in a bit of a food rut and this has inspired me to branch out and experiment. Thanks BB!!

Wow...you're creativity is beautiful berrybliss! Good on you for going to so much effort to post these.

I'm going through a real simple food phase and even though I'm feeling a bit peckish your divine recipes aren't tempting me. Am I ok?   :laugh:

Those recipes look utterly amazing.

Have you ever thought about opening a café or catering service?

If not, I think you should seriously consider it.

For example: I have been struggling with raw because I don’t have any recipes like this and so I tend to eat the same things over and over again and as a consequence, I get bored and fall off the raw wagon.

Now if someone like you came to my house and demonstrated a number of different dishes like this, I would happily pay for their services. I am sure many people would pay for a service like this. Not just people who are into raw, but for anyone who wants to eat healthier.

Also if there was a raw café, where I could get a healthy takeaway for dinner on the way home (like some of those specialized curry companies – meal for 1 or 2 persons) I would certainly frequent the café regularly.

Maybe you should consider writing and getting a raw food recipe book published?

I think I will be “cooking” up a storm this weekend.

LOL...KittyK, everything that you have described is the very nature of my business, except the raw cafe part, that will be in the future! I am currently working a book with beautiful big color photographs. Will also be starting up some "un-cooking" classes in the near future.

Glad you enjoyed the pics.

Love BB

Well good luck with the business, I hope it is very successful for you. It is a REAL pity you live in SA.

I do have to agree with avanstomi though – if you can post the teaspoon, tablespoon, mls and cup quantities required to make the apple crumble, carrot cake and whip slice, it would be really excellent and really helpful.


(I can work out/guess the quantities for the other recipes myself)

Hi BB,

Thank you for posting them.
