Seldom out to eat as things are better at home LOL
Partner says , since she eats my raw-food she cant eat other ones anymore LOL...
I tell her its not me , its just the Raw Food itself...!

but if your up to find some raw food in Northern NSW - Byron/Mullum Area go to:

Santos Shop in Byron Town , Johnson Street : featuring yummy Raw Crackers and healthful organics,
Santos Industrial : turn right on the BP out of town , then follow your intuition  (ask someone LOL) --good products as similar above , but more range...

Santos Mullum , very central , sometime has crackers...

+ there is Sushi Wala that has raw vegan food + raw desserts....  just near Santos Mullum behind the corner...

'generally every organic fruit stall becomes a perfect 'raw restaurant' when i'm around...'

oh , i forgot ,

Byron Thursdays Market : theres a Raw Stall there , and plenty of fresh products...!

 

well now it seems that there's spoil me raw at miami. the magic apple on the gold coast highway right next to burleigh heads mcdonalds has some raw salads, a raw fruit salad and juices. i really wish people were more educated in the hospitality industry on things like veganism.

the other night i had a cooked dinner, some teppanyaki and they cooked my tofu on the hot plate right where some chicken had just been and i asked them to do it again and i felt a bit bad but i thought at least i've educated them. i mean is it seriously not obvious that you wouldn't want your tofu and veges mixed with chicken fat!?!?!? some people i've talked to honestly haven't heard of the concept of vegetarianism let alone veganism. i was at dinner and a chinese girl was telling me when she was younger she didn't even realize that there were people who didn't eat meat.

it would be nice if fancy hotels and all those chefs like jamie oliver ect learnt about raw cuisine and added it to their repertoire so major cities and restaurants all had raw vegan food options. not that you can't go to a fruit store but since the raw movement is growing it would be nice to be able to eat out with friends and get decent salads ect. 

I have a sneaking suspicion that Jamie Oliver either is veggie friendly or is a veggie. I think he uses meat to sell his profession and earn bucks for his mysterious wife and two children. Which is not always that bad. His book on his own organic garden has some good not only veg recipes but raw as well. (His broad bean dip is entirely raw).

He's certainly very strong on organic.

Just some musings from a pop-culture consumer!!! LOLOL!!!! (not really; I don't consume pop-food...!  )

raw carrots to everyone,

Hmmmm, going out to a restaurant is a bit tricky when you're raw. I have usually just  asked for the house salad and if they could swap the dressing for avocado or whatever other raw things I can find on the menu. I second the raw food stall at Byron markets though..they do amazing stuff. Also if anyone is ever in Port Macquarie, the pancake place does a mean fruit salad for breakfast...just ask for it without the yoghurt. They only use fresh in season fruit and dress it with fresh passionfruit pulp....no canned stuff there at all. They have evn been known to garnish with some nice greenery. There is also a great little juice bar across the road that will do a green smoothie if you ask nicely.

As far as making the public more aware..Shazzie has recently released an ebook that you can print out and take to local restaurants. It has info on 'why raw' as well as recipes they can try. It is apart of her Raw Brittania campaign but I bet if we all put our heads together we could do up our own home-grown version to send out to eateries near us. Anyone up for it?
