Yesterday I had the most amazing durian experience. I can now officially say that I LOVE durian. My son complained the whole ride home from the Asian market that I was buying it again. I told him that I was going to open it outside, eat it outside and compost the shell right away so [...]

By Neven Jones in ThoughtsI’m in Tampa this week visiting my father, as I do every year at this time. I was thinking back to last year, I had been raw for about a month and I was a little nervous about flying. I was worried that I would face an unexpected delay and get really hungry and I [...]

Fun with my dehydrator
By Neven Jones in Raw FoodsI have been using my dehydrator a lot lately, which is very unusual for me. I’ve had it for about 8 months and have barely used it. I’ve made juice pulp crackers a few times and used it to marinate vegetables, but that’s about it. When I bought my dehydrator I thought that I would [...]

A mini juice fast and some major decluttering
By Neven Jones in ThoughtsYesterday I decided to do a one day juice/blended food fast to give my body a break. I have been eating a lot of salt lately, mainly in the form of miso. In just 6 days I had 6 bowls of miso soup, I love the flavor of miso, but that’s way too much salt [...]

Transitioning to a raw vegan diet
By Neven Jones in Raw FoodsI’ve stopped eating fish. When I look at a fish I don’t see food, I see a living being that I don’t want to eat. I knew this day would come soon because the last few times I ate fish, I didn’t enjoy it like I used to. I’ve been slowly cutting out animal products [...]

Trying durian for the first time
By Neven Jones in Raw FoodsA few weeks ago I tried durian for the first time. Durian, also known as “the king of fruits”, grows in tropical climates and is native to Indonesia and Malaysia. Some say it smells like stinky gym socks, rotten eggs and sulfur. Although it has a reputation for being stinky, it’s also known for being [...]

Staying raw at the Canadian Grand Prix
By Neven Jones in Raw FoodsI was in Montreal this past weekend with some friends for the Canadian Grand Prix. I loved watching the F1 race, but let’s face it raw food is hard to come by at most sporting events. It was a three day event so on the first day I took a few apples, a banana, raisins [...]

Cantaloupe and dulse
By Neven Jones in RecipesWhen I was a meat eating foodie, which now feels like a lifetime ago, one of my favorite summer foods was cantaloupe and Prosciutto di Parma. The saltiness of the prosciutto was a great compliment to the sweetness of the melon. Eating prosciutto is not even an option for me anymore, still I can’t help [...]

Delicious vegetable juice
By Neven Jones in JuicingYesterday while I was at my Bikram yoga class, I was thinking about the juice I was going to make when I got home. My morning juices are usually greens and fruit, I knew I wanted to try something different. As I was lying down in savasana, I was dreaming about all the vegetables that [...]

Day 27 100% raw: Dealing with emotions
By Neven Jones in ThoughtsThis 30 day 100% raw challenge has been an eye opening experience for me. As you know from my last post I’m not 100% raw anymore, I’m more like 90% raw. But percentages don’t really matter to me; the important thing is I’m eating more living foods. I’m also going through a period where I’m re-evaluating [...]
