Alissa Cohen Level 1 Class with Schall Adams

Yesterday I attended a Level 1 chef class taught by Schall Adams. I must say it was very enlightening. The recpies are so easy to duplicate. At the moment I do not have any equipment except for a dehydrator. So I am in the process of finding a food processor and a vitamix. I also want a champion juicer.
Yesterday we made Coconut Macaroons



1 1/2 cups raw coconut flakes
2 large dates (soaked)
1/4 cup Agave Nectar
1 tsp Vanilla

Pulse all ingredients through a food processor just until dates are finely processed. It will be a stucky dough. Form into patties and dehydrate at 105 for 5-6 hours.

These were soooooo good!!

We also made Banana Ice Cream yummmm.

Peel and freeze bananas. After you take the bananas out the freezer let them sit out for a minute and then try to peel them. My fingers were so cold trying to peel the bananas right away.

With a Champion Juicer or any juicer that will homogenize run the frozen bananas through with the "blank" on. As you can see it can also be done with a food processor. We also made strawberry and raisin and walnut toppings. My son loved the ice cream.

Mock Salmon Pate on celery sticks

A delicious pink pate with a hint of salmon flavor! I eat this all the time on top of a large salad with a vinaigrette dressing. It’s such an easy pate to prepare and oh so delicious!
2 cups walnuts
2 stalks celery
1 large red bell pepper
1 large scallion
½ -1 teaspoon sea salt
Combine all ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth.Serving suggestions: This can be served on a plate as is, over a salad, rolled up in a green leaf, or spread on crackers

Angel Hair Pasta and Marinara Sauce

Angel Hair Pasta
3-4 Large Zucchini

Marinara Sauce
2 1/2 CupsTomatoes
12 Large Sundried Tomatoes, Soaked
3 Organic Dates, Pitted and Soaked
1/4 Cup Olive Oil
4 Cloves Garlic
2 Tablespoons Parsley
1 Teaspoon Celtic Sea Salt
1/8 Teaspoon Cayenne

Spialize the zucchini in the Saladacco and then Pour the Angel hair zucchini pasta into a large bowl.

Place all of the Marinara ingredients into a food processor and blend until smooth. Next pour the smooth sauce from the food processor onto your angel hair pasta which is in the large bowl. Now serve.

We also made Chile and onion dip.

I did not get a picture of the chile or onion dip. I was to busy eating.

This is Andreu cutting up the red pepper for the chile. Andreu is an inspiring raw gormet chef. He has a powerful testimony of how raw foods has improved his life. Once I get the link to his myspace from him I will post.

This is me and Schall. I look really big in this picture this shirt did not help matters either. I am really looking forward to the weight loss aspect of this raw lifestyle.
