USA TOUR UPDATE
Early September sees the last dates of my current ‘Raw Transformations’
lecture tour of the East Coast of the USA. There are three more talks
on the schedule: Sept 6th and 11th in New York and Sept 7th in
Connecticut. See the RawReform Events Calendar for more details – hope to see you there. For all those who have already made it along to the talks – thanks very much. :)
It has again been a fantastic experience to meet so many people on this
tour and share this message in person. From the intense humidity of
Florida where I munched on amazing tropical fruit like mamey and
visited the beautiful Hippocrates Institute, through the surprisingly
green and lush central areas of Tennessee and Kentucky, right up to the
shores of the vast Lake Erie in Ohio and now into the urban jungle of
The Big Apple, it has been an inspiring journey…
It has been a pleasure to speak in many independent health stores along
the way, where I found a beautiful sense of community and care. It was
great to see too that more and more health food shops seem to be
raising awareness of the raw lifestyle, with products like goji
berries, raw food books and raw information signs more prevalent than I
have seen before – these are very positive signs :)
We have been blessed with many generous hosts on this tour, opening
their homes, kitchen gardens and hearts to us – each potluck event has
seen a smorgasbord of delicious fare, including enormous quantities of
the divine Raw Lasagna from the book ‘Raw Food/Real World’ – mmmmmmm…even the attendees accustomed to eating cooked food were amazed with that dish…

CHANGING LIVES:
THE ’RAWREFORM: REVEALING THE PHYSICAL CHANGES’ E-BOOK
It’s nearly a month since the release of the third RawReform e-book and
comments have been pouring in from satisfied customers, such as these
below:
‘WOW – your e-book ‘Revealing the Physical Changes’ is just what I’ve been looking for.
I’m new to the raw lifestyle and with more than 80lbs to lose, I’ve
been real anxious about detox and if this is going to be the right
thing for me. After reading your e-book, I feel like I KNOW this is the
way forward – I feel like I’m armed for whatever comes along now as I
start to heal. THANK YOU.’
PK, Ohio
‘I have never read such a straight-forward summary of how to deal with
candida than in your book on the physical changes when going raw. I
have been struggling with this condition for about 3 years and now
finally feel like I understand it enough to get rid of it once and for
all. I have spent literally hundreds of dollars on anti-candida
treatments over the years – the $10 for your e-book was easily the best investment of all :).’
SB, Texas
‘I just had to write to thank you for your latest book, ‘Revealing the Physical Changes’. I already lost over 100lbs myself through a raw diet and have been worried about the affects on my skin. Your book was very reassuring and I feel so much more confident now that what I’m doing is the best choice for my health. I love that you write about this stuff that no-one else seems to address. Thanks for the support and please keep up the amazing work.’
RJ, Oregon
I’m delighted to know that this book is helping so many people on their
journeys to improved health. If you haven’t yet checked out this new
book, or want answers to questions like:
‘Will my stretched skin go back into place?’
‘How long is it going to take me to detox?’
‘What will happen if I go back to processed foods?’
‘How do I handle my candida?’
you can read more about this unique e-book in the online shop, HERE.

SEDUCTIVELY SQUISHED SALAD RECIPE
This is my current favourite salad, which I tend to prepare around the
middle of the day to tank me up on raw nutrition for the rest of the
daytime. It is a very easy and appealing recipe to prepare…
Head of 1 romaine lettuce sliced into thin strips/ a few good handfuls of young salad greens
Small bunch of cilantro (coriander) chopped very finely
½ cucumber, grated
2 carrots, grated
½ red bell pepper, sliced into small chunks
handful of dulse, shredded small
juice of ½ lemon
tsp kelp powder/splash of nama shoyu/salty seasoning to taste
flesh of 1 avocado, in rough pieces
Any other ‘garnishes’ of choice – e.g. chopped chives, fresh sprouts, nuts etc
Combine all of the ingredients in a big bowl, then with your hand,
squish the whole mixture together until it is all evenly distributed
and the avocado has spread out through all the other ingredients, like
a dressing. I believe the idea of squishing avocado through salad like
this originated with Alissa Cohen
– I love it because it removes the need for any other salad dressing,
like heavy oils and is so easy to prepare, with a minimum amount of
fuss or equipment. I call this ‘seductively squished salad’ as you then
get to lick the remaining ingredients from your hand after the
squishing, if you so desire ;) Makes enough for one, or two, depending
on how hungry (and friendly) you are…
That’s all the news for now. Looking forward to seeing your before and
after pics soon and if you’re a MySpace user, you can also check out
the new RawReform page there at: http://www.myspace.com/rawreform.
Best wishes, joy and peace to all,
One love,
Angela. x
