Shortly after I stopped eating dairy, I got into raw food “uncook” books, partly because I was craving raw food, and partly because they made things like cheesecake without dairy. By using nuts and coconut I started making all sorts of “dairy” treats again. I took the concepts I admired from raw food books, and…

If you follow me on InstGood (AKA Instagram), then you know that we’ve been getting lots of local organic jujube fruit here in Southern California.

She liked them, but they could have used some coconut cream or…

Banana Date Frozen Custard
I’ve been crazy for custard lately. Refrigerated or frozen. It has so few ingredients, which I love, and it’s super easy to make. It just takes a lot of whisking. You could speed up the whisking process by heating your coconut milk first without the egg yolks (so you could heat it faster), then temper…
