  • 1/4 cup Green Thai coconut pulp
  • 1 tablespoon Chickpea miso
  • 3 Medium okra (cut into 3mm rounds)
  • 1 tablespoon wakame (soaked for 5 minutes)

Live Funky Bars

Decadent Funky Bars

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Walnuts ((soaked for 6 hrs on fridge-sprouted))
  • 1/3 cup pumpkin seeds ((soaked for 6 hrs on fridge-sprouted))
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 4 Medium medjool dates ((pitted soaked for 1 hr- if not soft))
  • 2 heaped tablespoons cacao butter in chunks
  • 3 drops anise essential oil (food grade please)

Directions

Step 1
Place all ingredients in food processor and puree until a batter sticky consistency. Check that the batter can stick to each other and not crumble.
Step 2
Using a square cookie molds (the cost $5 hk dollars in cake shops), make a ball with the batter, bigger than the mold.
Step 3
Press the batter into the mold as much as you can and leaving a bit of it on top.
Step 4
Use a metal scraper and remove excess from top.
Step 5
Press with your two fingers and release it. This method allows you to place directly into dehydrator or set into the freezer while keeping space.
Step 6
This method inspire me because most of people living in Hong Kong, (like me) have very small space to keep things, specially fridge. You can also play and top with seeds, nuts and super foods.

Combining it with Oregano Oil, another powerful anti-viral and immune support substance, I made the “Flu-Shoot”.

Nested Watercress Salad


To make this lovely, eye-catching, and nutritious salad, you will only need to use your hands.  No heavy machinery required!  As you will see, this delicious gourmet dish only takes a few minutes to make and requires only a few very fresh ingredients.  This salad can be served as a side dish to almost any meal, or as a tantalizing appetizer salad to introduce any lunch or supper.

For best results, make sure to use only the freshest ingredients you can find!

 To Make The Nest:

2 handfuls of fresh watercress
Juice from 1/2 of a lime
1/4 tsp of sea salt

1.  Place the watercress in a mixing bowl, together with the lime juice and the sea salt.  Massage the greens with your hands until they become tender.  (By massaging the watercress, you are not only ensuring that the seasonings are evenly distributed, you are also making it a little easier for your body to absorb the nutrients from the watercress.)

2. Using your hands, place the seasoned watercress on a plate and shape it into the form of a round nest.  Leave an empty space about the size of your fist in the center of your nest.

 To Make The Filling:

1 cup of chopped fresh spinach
1 cup of chopped fresh kale
Juice from 1/2 of a lime
1 ripe avocado, medium diced
1 tbsp of chickpea miso (soy free)
1 tbsp of hemp seeds
1/8 tsp of sea salt

1.  Place the spinach and the kale into a mixing bowl, together with the lime juice and the salt, and massage the greens with your hands until they are tender. 2.  Mash the avocado with your hands and massage the avocado into the greens.  Follow this up with the miso, until the spinach and kale are entirely covered with avocado and miso.
3.  Add the hemp seeds to the mixing bowl.  Using a spatula, mix the hemp seeds into the filling.

 To Serve The Salad:

Fresh sprouts
Cold pressed extra-virgin olive oil
Paprika

1. Take a handful of filling and shape it into a ball.
2. Place this ball of seasoned spinach and kale onto the top of the watercress, in the empty space in the middle of the watercress nest.
3. Drizzle a small amount of olive oil around the plate and sprinkle paprika on top of the salad to add color.
4. Top with fresh sprouts and enjoy!

Due to popular demand, make sure you book early. 

We are living a paradigm shift towards the way we are eating, especially in the live-food movement. In this workshop Chef Moises Mehl will share his accumulated research and study of ways to prepare healthy raw food diet that supports the physical health and spiritual evolution.

In this introduction to raw foods we will learn how to prepare delicious healthy living foods using raw vegan ingredients, like fruits and vegetables, nuts, seeds, and sea vegetables that haven’t been heated over 40°C.

The workshop will start off with an Asana yoga session which focuses on the balancing of the chakras (seven major centers of psychic energy located along the spinal column believed by some yoga practitioners to be responsible for the condition of the mind, body and spirit). The balancing of the chakras creates a higher level of awareness, benefiting the way we live and interact with each other. After the Asana practice, a vegan living foods demonstration and tasting will take place and guests will discover the benefits of living foods and how easy is to incorporate them into our daily diet. Guests who are not used to eating raw foods will be surprised of how delicious these dishes can be. All ingredients are gluten free, and do not contain any animal products, dairy or white sugars.
