• Lydia's Lovin Foods
  in Fairfax Ca
  Date: Tue, 17 Jan 2006 03:31:14 +0000

  Hi,
  One of my favorite restaurants that I would like to see listed is: "Lydia's Lovin Foods" in Fairfax Ca.  Though they offer cooked as well as raw foods, there is a very strong focus on raw foods.  Lydia and her chefs are very fine raw food chefs.  I've been in her kitchen (she offers raw food classes there) and seen that she uses nothing but the finest raw organic ingredients and pays careful attention to how all the food is prepared.  Lydia's raw crackers are also made in the same building as the restaurant.

• Prima Bamboo Homestay & Restaurant
  Tirtagangga, Amlapura
  Bali, INDONESUA
  tel: 0363-21316
  • Owner Mr. Ngurah (pronounced nura) is an avid gardener and orchardist. He has, besides cottages, mangoes and papayas and other fruit trees on terraces that provides a panoramic view of rice paddies and distant mountains. He once took me to a friend's fruit research farm to sample some research! He speaks excellent English. The homestay is located about 600m past the Tirtagangga pool. December is the best time to hit Bali for fruit, especially mangoes.......... Jo Yoshida 4 Jan 1998

• Green Garden Home Guesthouse
  No. 051 Sivutha Road
  Siem Reap-Angkor CAMBODIA
  • Owner Mr. Um Sarin and his wife runs a friendly place with a courtyard of fruit trees, the focus of his horticultural skills. I fell in love with this couple, their warmth and genuine smiles. They speak English but French more fluently. Unfortunately, I went at the tail end of the dry season (late April) and nothing much was happening for tree-ripened fruit. Mr. Sarin recommended June or July when the monsoons hit. Pay extra and get an air-con room!......... Jo Yoshida 4 Jan 1998

  • The Raw Truth Restaurant just opened in Las Vegas Nevada. I Know Barbara Rogers (owner) well. The food is Delicious- Raw Lasagna?? Unbelievable. Seed cheese Casadillas, Raw Vegie Sushi.. the list goes on. 6 to 7 Dollars per person. I am taking my wife again tonight....... Brent 23 Jan 1999

  • My wife Nancy and I recently ate at "The Raw Truth" again. The owners are Bob Saladino and Barbara Rogers. The restaurant is 100% organic 100% raw and I think vegan. The process is simple enough, no need for menus as everything is on display in the coolers. The food is very nicely presented .(Thanks to a 5 star chef who they consulted) It is very fresh and the selection fairly broad. We had Lasagna with sprouted wheat cracker. For desert, strawberry pie. It was delicious! It is so nice to have a place that has living food, ready to eat and so good. Ive also tried their sushi, casadia, and cookies. I can end by saying that I don't have to cut them any slack because they're raw. The Raw Truth is quality by anyones standards.......... Leighton Koehler 20 Mar 1999

  • we are sort of an interesting restaurant because we're in a mall. i guess you could say we resemble a food court, but it's all one place. when you come in you get a credit card which you can take to any of 13 kiosks: Mexican, Thai, Italian, etc. A kiosk called Food for Life features only raw foods prepared daily. An article about this kiosk recently appeared in Food Arts magazine. In addition, there is a to-go market that features all kinds of hardcore health food.
    The inside is really cool. the floor is all cobblestone and there are huge fake trees strung with patio lights.
    the concept was created by richard melman, sort of a free thinker and a local hero in the restaurant biz. there are banners bearing some of rich's self- affirming slogans hanging from the ceiling and walls: "smile more," "be open to change," "yesyesyesyes."
    there are many items about foodlife available on the web. the architect's website features interior photos, and a company called further Management describes foodlife's "mission" pretty well.......... Daniel Stewart 13 Mar 1998

Washington DC

• Delights of the Garden
  There's another raw foods restaurant that I highly recommend if you're ever in the Washington, DC, area. It's called Delights of the Garden and it's on Georgia Avenue across from the Howard University Business School. (I don't have the exact address, but you can e-mail privately for that or directions.)
  I love their food and I went there every chance I got, although it wasn't terribly convenient for me since I lived in Virginia. Now, of course, i live in Florida. They also have a cookbook full of mouth-watering recipes and I've tried quite a few of them already. I especially loved their recipe for sweet potato pie. It was incredible!
  If you're ever in the DC area, don't miss this place!

  • I wanted to let you know about a great raw food restaurant and organic health food store in Hawaii that I went to.
    They had a wonderful selection of raw desserts. Their deli case was also packed with all kinds of amazing raw food entrees. I hear their burritos are amazing. I talked to the general manager Lisa Castaldo for about 45 min. She says that the owner, Suzanne, hand picks all of the organic produce in the health food store area herself. They also sold sprouting and dehydrating products and had a wonderful selection of books, cookbooks, etc. If you're in Honolulu "Wild and Raw" shouldn't be missed!.......

Maui

• The raw food restaraunt on Maui is called
  Loving Foods
  42 Baldwin Ave.
  Paia, HI 96779
  phone 808-579-9729 (9RAW)
  web page is Http://www.upcountry.com/lovingfoods.html
  
  open: 9am to 9pm every day

  They do juices including Smoothies as well as full on meals. Paia is a center for alternative culture people and the restaraunt is pulling many of them out of the woodwork and into town.

  For myself, raw food was a new concept, and I did the raw food thing for about 4 days, visiting the restaraunt each day till I went to the mainland for a 6 week trip. I had a variety of their Entrees, soups, salads, and drinks. What surprised me is that I never felt hungry and the thought of cooked food turned me off. Of course I felt energized on the diet which is why I continued it. The food tasted excellent which probably has to do with the talent of the chef rather then it being raw or cooked. Especially tasty was the pizza with a macadamia nut sauce.

  Hawaii is certainly a great place for a raw food restaraunt because local organic fruits and vegtables are available year round and Loving foods uses primarily fresh organic ingrediants that are grown locally

  I understand there is a raw food restaraunt in Chicago (where I am situated for the next 4 weeks) and I intend to pay it a visit soon.
