And Raw restaurant's Juliano is writing one of the first raw foods recipe books , called Raw, the Uncooked Book. That means no grilled eggplant. No marinara sauce. Not even stir-fried tofu cubes. But it isn't all carrot sticks.
Raw foods can also include pizzas and burritos.
The rice isn't cooked, but soaked in water for 30 days until it becomes soft and palatable. In most restaurants, tortillas are deep-fried. But I take a purple cabbage leaf, pull it off, and it's automatically a tortilla. It's a neat color, there's no package to become trash. Since wine goes through no heating process, it gets the thumbs up from Juliano.
