Feedback from a happy customer....!

Hello,

I just wanted to drop an email to you to say how fantastic I think your chocolates are! A friend gave me some samples when she found out that I can not eat gluten, dairy or sugar. I have been a vegetarian and healthy eater all my life but had pretty much resigned to a life of no tasty chocolates (even though I am a bit of a chocoholic) when I discovered your food. I had the handmade truffles and they blew me away! I can't believe how good they taste! Keep up the good work making such fantastic products. I will be sure to tell everyone I know about them, and keep buying them myself.

I also wanted to add that I work as a freelance illustrator, and if you ever wanted any design illustrations/leaflets/promotion images I would be delighted to do these for you free of charge as I think your products are so brilliant! All my work is produced by hand, and I usually work in black pen ink. Here is a link to my illustration site should you be curious...

All the best,

Just to let you guys know-

I will be trading every saturday in Broadway market, London Fields, from October 16th!

Breakfast ice cream.......

Blend a frozen banana with a teaspoon of raw honey, 1 tsp maca, sprinkle of vanilla powder and a drizzle of water

(I added reishi mushroom powder, soya lecithin and heaped teaspoon of green superfood powder)

Serve with buckwheaties (soaked & Dehydrated buckwheat)

Yeah............!

I had to share this recipe with you.......

I went to see a friend yesterday and she made such a delicious, yet simple meal for us.......

Blended frozen bananas to make ice cream (believe me, sounds simple but beats any dairy ice cream I ever had)

Served with these crackers. I am sure she wont mind me giving this recipe. I just made a batch and they are great, either as a cracker for puddings or broken up and served as a granola.

7 cups Soaked buckwheat

6 bananas

fresh ginger to taste

pinch salt

4 cups of cubed pinapple

Blend everything except the buckwheat.

Stir in the buckwheat, pour onto a dehydrator tray and dry overnight...

Im off to use a new kitchen tomorrow, with my two pals, Shaun (who makes the yummy Nut bars) and Natalie, who makes the amazing avocado smoothies-

I always loved Ice cream........

Tonight I got home from Bikram at around 11.45pm....and decided to make Ice-cream.

I have friends coming over for dinner this week. I plan to do a raw Pad Thai. For desert I was going to be lazy and buy Booja booja, but no. I just made some myself.

Simply blend cashews/macadamia nuts and water with sweetener (I used Yacon syrup) and a little vanilla. Blend till smooth and pour into a tuppaware and freeze. Yum.

Try adding mulberries & honey, Goji berries & coconut, Lucuma & mulberries, peppermint oil, barley grass & cacao nibs or perhaps fresh strawberries...endless ideas....Have fun.

I made chocolate anchors for the event last weekend, they 'went down' (ahem) very well! I used Raw honey instead of Agave.

Im very fond of sun dried tomatoes at the moment. Could they take over from Sauerkraut??!!!

Other random (non-food related) news- I saw an amazing film last night at The BFI, Called 'Season of the Witch". Starring Julie Driscoll with a soundtrack by Brian Auger. It was fabulous, Colour too. A visual/audio treat! She is my new Idol!

I shall be heading to this on saturday, Kate Wood is speaking and there will be nice food and a chance to network and meet new people:
