Semi Raw Food Dinner with raw tacos and raw chocolate cheesecake
(For a shorter version in english, please scroll down)
Jag gillar inte att övertala människor att dom måste äta si eller så utan jobbar hellre med att informera, inspirera och få människor att själva upptäcka hur goda de lite hälsosammare alternativen är.
Därför har jag börjat ha inslag av veganska, gluten- och mejerifria alternativ och "raw food" (växtbaserad mat ej upphettad över 42 grader) när vi har middagsgäster.
Igår hade jag min mamma och mina syskon med barn över på middag och självklart grillade vi, men till förrätt bjöd jag på "Raw Tacos" och till efterrätt blev det en "Almost raw chocolate cheesecake! (Till varmrätt grillade vi kyckling, halloumi och majs).
Det blev en succcé! Tacosfaten skrapades rena och efterrätten likaså!
I don't like to push people to eat this or that, instead I always try to inform, inspire and get people to discover for themselves how good the little healthier alternatives are. Therefore, I have begun to introduce an element of vegan, gluten-, dairy free and raw food options when we have guests.
Yesterday I had my mother and siblings with kids over for dinner, and of course we had bbq for main, but for starters served the "Raw Tacos" and for dessert an "Almost raw chocolate cheese cake !
And it was a success! The tacos went immediately and so did the desert!
