Making food

I got  Ani's raw food kitchen from my mother in law for Christmas present. I haven't cooked or made a lot from it YET. I really like the book. It's a good start for people like me who want to explore the wonders of raw food. What I like most about raw food is the fact that there's no cooking involved.  I hate waiting for the water to start boiling, standing and stir in the pot or for the oven to hot enough. 

For supper tonight I made Ginger Almond Nori Roll with Garden Paté. It was delicious. It took about half an hour to make it and they were so pretty.

 

My husband made biscotti to night. I think I have never ever tried biscotti before. They were surprisingly good. 

At last but not least I made ginger"magic"broth. I got the recipe from my father and his wife. They have been brewing it this winter. It is tasty and when properly done it burns your throat when you drink it. I call it the ginger"magic"broth because it did wonder for my arthritis. I was pretty bad of the arthritis in December. I had everyday pain, had trouble sleeping because of it and I had some trouble walking around. You know just the usual for folks with arthritis. In January I went for a month visit to Iceland and stayed with my Dad. I drank the ginger"magic"broth maybe every other day and oh boy og boy, the difference. The pain went form 7 to 1-2 and I stopped taking painkillers and could sleep. When I came back home I started to brew it my self. The broth isn't as effective when I make it but I still get a little bit better of my arthritis.
