Rawfood event

The whole family went to Arto to cook for 20 people. Actually I talked, instructed and made a small show.  Riitta and Jenni took pictures and videos.   I made two kinds of  Nori roles and one kind of Beet balls . The sauce was blended with sesame seeds, soy sauce and lemon.  For dessert we had both Brownie and Stollen.  The Stollen was a request of Arto. He wanted something x-mas like for dessert and Stollen is one of my favorites.  The original has a lot of butter and sugar in it but this was made of all natural stuff and without the oven. Try it out and comment on how succesful it was!

Stollen:
Almonds and dates are processed in a foodprocessor into a sticky mass.  By hand you add raisins, dried cranberries, dried strawberries and incaberries.  Form a loaf of it and put in the fridge for an hour.  Now it's easy to cut into thin slices. Bon appetit!

Martti gets instructions of how to form the Stollen
Arto and jis guests like the taste of the rawfood.  They were all surprised that something healthy can be so tasty!

I enjoed the opportunity to promote healthy and good food.  It seems like there I have an inner preacher or then I just enjoy entertain people.
Yammy!!

Banana ice cream

Banana ice cream with lingonberry juice
Is it true that to create a delicious desert you need lots of sugar and cream?  Up to now this has been the situation for me and particularly Ben&Jerry ice cream has been my number one.
Eventually I remembered an old trick I learned from a friend back in -93. Put deep frozen bananas in a food processor and you have instant ice cream!

Think about the effects on your health compared to ordinary ice cream! Only natures own stuff in unheated condition

Try to by very ripe bananas, peel them and deep freeze them in plastic bags. Now your are ready to put up a delicious desert at any time.

Banana ice cream:
about 1 litre of deep frozen bananas
juice from a 1/2 lemon
1 tbl honey
Put the juice and the honey in the food processor and blend till the honey is mixed with the lemon juice.  Now the honey will mix better with the frozen stuff. Add the bananas, preferably let them soften in room temperature for half an hour, and run it untill it's all smooth.  Serve with blended lingonberries (or cranberries).  I juiced the berries in my new Coway juicer and it made a delicious sauce, very soft.
Bon appetit!
