Vegan Waffles Made With Almond Meal or Pulp

sweet waffles with coconut cream and fruit coulis

Vegan Waffles Made With Almond Meal or Pulp

One of our most popular breakfast dishes Vegan Waffles made with Almond Meal or Pulp.  Vegan waffles with cashew cream and fresh fruit.

As we make our own fresh almond milk every day, we tend to have loads of almond meal or pulp left over, so what do you do with it?  First of all… it does FREEZE very well so don’t throw it away.  You can make waffles and waffle base fruit baskets of course!

More people are making their own Almond Milk and it’s so easy to do and a lot less expensive than store bought almond milk.  It also removes the need for preservatives that cause lots of digestive problems for many people.

Here’s our recipe for a simple way to use up the leftover meal PLUS the almond milk recipe is also included so there’s no excuses.

One of our customers ordered 14 of our sweet waffles which she intended to use for breakfast on Christmas morning instead of greasy, fat-filled croissants.  This was because one of her guests is coeliac and she wanted everyone to feel included rather than excluded – nice gesture!

So there you have it… vegan waffles with cashew cream.  Another great free recipe that will help you try new healthier plant-based options as an alternative to the more common, unhealthier foods.  For more plant based recipes like this, check out our recipe books “Let’s Eat Raw” and “Raw Vegan Meals”

Raw Vegan Meals Recipe Book Is Out Now

raw vegan meals by scott mathias

Raw Vegan Meals Recipe Book Is Out Now

My second raw vegan recipe book “Raw Vegan Meals” is now on the bookshelves and I’m excited!

PJP_4053Daikon Sushi, Cauliflower Rice, Avocado, Mock Tuna, Creamy Wasabi, Mayo and Pickled GingerPJP_4825PJP_4848PJP_4731PJP_4139PJP_4797It was a great thrill for me to receive a call from my publisher last August asking me to write a second recipe book.  “No problem” was my response, since I was already working on some new raw vegan recipes for our then soon to open GoVegan Deli here in Noosaville.

Clare soon brought me back down to earth when we realised that the copy deadline would coincide with the opening of Australia’s first GoVegan Deli (yes, there will be more)!

I began to juggle my diary to try and make time for writing the book, at the same time dealing with shop designers, contractors, equipment manufacturers, finding suitable staff and financing a project that we had only just decided on a few weeks’ earlier.

We hardly had time to draw a breath never mind pull off the opening of a brand new store and come up with 88 new raw vegan meals.  To say we were unprepared would be an understatement !

Fast forward to mid December and, whilst catering for our ever-growing customer base in the Deli, we also had to make room for the photo-shoot.  This meant preparing the dishes in our brand new commercial kitchen and transporting it all the way upstairs to the living room to be stylised and photographed…. phew!

Here we are in April, and the book has just arrived on our shelves and it’s selling FAST!

I am amazed at what’s been achieved and wonder if, had I known in advance all this would be happening, would I have achieved so much in 6 months.

As we continue to go from strength to strength, we are extremely grateful for all the support we’re receiving from friends, family, employees and of course our wonderful customers and subscribers.

Next up :

  • Brand new GoVegan Deli website (in May 2016)
  • 30 New grocery lines available to buy in-store or online.
  • Delivery service coming soon to Noosa – visitors can pre-order online and have a hamper of fresh, organic, vegan meals and drinks delivered to their resort or hotel.
  • Educational programmes with key speakers on all things vegan and healthy.
  • RAW Food workshops for busy mums.

From personal health to animal rights and concerns about the health of our planet, we’re forging ahead to bring as much information as possible through our various online platforms, to help you and yours, benefit from our own experiences in the raw and vegan movement.

We’d love to see you in the deli where you can enjoy a light breakfast, lunch or afternoon tea in our Atrium.  You can also purchase your favourite vegan foods to go and get a signed copy of the new recipe book (if I’m around when you visit.)  Or you can order online right now.  Go here for more details.

For those further afield, simply copy and paste the ISBN number into google to find your local online retailer.  IBSN 9781742578545.

Watch out for my next update when I’ll be announcing the official book launch and presenting the new GoVegan Deli website.

5-Minute Vegan Garlic Aioli Recipe

1 Comment
vegan garlic aioli recipe scottmathiasraw.com

If you have ever wondered why so many RAW Vegan’s have smiles on their faces, it’s because they enjoy some of the most amazing flavours that nature can throw at them.

Take this Garlic Cashew Mayo/Aioli for example – once you pre-soak the cashews for 2-4 hours, you have the basis of a creamy, garlic aioli or mayonnaise – and because of the lemon juice and olive oil, it keeps well in the refrigerator.  Once you try this, you’ll never choose store-bought mayo again.

Looking for a unique way to ‘wrap’ tasty food? Well here is an entirely healthy 100% plant based option free of wheat products. Do a bunch of them and once they are dried put them in an airtight bag to use them throughout the week. GLUTEN and DAIRY FREE!!
Author:
Recipe type: Starter
Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 2 lge portions
Ingredients
Equipment:
  • Personal blender and dehydrator – if you don't have a dehydrator, use a fan oven 50c and leave door ajar.
To make 2 lge wraps (modify volume to make more)
  • ¼ ripe yellow or red paw paw (papaya)
  • 1 whole lge red tomato
  • ¼ cup sun or semi-dried tomatoes
  • 1 tsp dried Italian herbs or dried spices of choice
  • ¼ tsp desert or sea salt
  • ¼ tsp of ground pepper
Filling of your choice:
  • Sliced vegetables – cucumber, spring onion, red bell pepper, avocado, seasoned cabbage etc.
Cream Sauce:
  • ½ cup of raw cashews
  • ¼ cup of coconut cream
  • ¼ cup of sliced ginger
  • ½ dried kafir lime leaf
  • ¼ tsp galangal
  • ½ tsp chopped coriander
  • Juice of ½ lime
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • S&P to taste
  • Or add spice to the cream mixture of your choice.
  • Tomato & PawPaw Sashimi by Scott Mathias
Instructions
  1. Combine ingredients in personal blender and blend until smooth. Taste test and add extra salt if required. Remember you are making a savoury wrap from what essentially are quite sweet.
  2. On heat-proof paper place ¾ of the mixture and using a stainless steel spatula, smooth square to around 2 cm thick. Do the same again until the mixture is used up. You can vary volume by adding more or less paw paw or tomato.
  3. Place the trays into your dehydrator and set to 45C for 4 hours. Turn after 2 hrs by flipping sheet face down and peeling off onto another sheet. If you are using an oven then set the temperature to as low as the light will tolerate, usually 50c, turn the fan on and open the oven door.
  4. Turn after 2hrs and gradually dry down until the mixture becomes a semi crisp sheet. If you over dry then it makes it difficult to roll. Ovens will dry faster so reduce drying time by half. Once they are dried, set aside ready for use.
For the sauce:
  1. Blend all the ingredients in your personal blender until a thin creamy texture is achieved and season to taste.
For filling:
  1. Place one of the dried wraps onto a flat surface and line up vegetables of choice about 8-10cm from the edge closest to you.
  2. With your fingers on either side simply roll the wrap and contents up.
  3. Slice individual portions and assemble on a nice serving plate topping off with the Asian flavoured creamy sauce.
  4. Garnish of coriander or parsley.

Raw Vegan Pepperoni Pizza

No Comments
Raw Pepperoni Piiza from Scott Mathias Raw

We had a friend drop by this week for lunch and although he’s not vegan, he was looking forward to some tasty raw food.  What he didn’t expect was to be eating a Raw Vegan Pepperoni Pizza.

This is one of our favourite meals and is very easy to make.  Make several bases and keep in an airtight container in the fridge.

The bases also make great flour-free ‘wraps’, so play around with this recipe.  Add flax seeds for a crunchier base.  Design your own base ingredients eg fresh coconut meat can be purchased from the freezer section of a good health food store/crocery.

7 Solutions To Beat Hunger in Gluten & Dairy Intolerant Kids

No Comments

7 FREE Recipes below – Feeding a child who suffers from gluten – wheat or lactose – dairy intolerances is as easy as ABC. Simply provide nutritious alternatives which fill the gap and the tummy at the same time.

13013677-boy-holding-hands-on-his-stomach-over-white-background-painI grew up with these intolerances and had to find my own way through the ‘food minefield’ suffering from chronic reflux, bloating and gut issues much of my life and only to STOP when I did two things:

1. Self-Healed my gut issue using 100% natural means – 1 flat teaspoon of green papaya powder after my main meal of the day.

2. Began eating other food alternatives free of those two offending proteins and food which supported my gut function.

Let me explain the reasoning behind #1. After a near death experience when the contents of my stomach emptied back into my lungs when I was asleep, I was forced to find out why I nearly died. Simply by being pushed hard enough to change the way I ate and lived, I googled something and these words appeared.

1. “Inability to break down proteins” – the cause of my 45 years of anguish which no medical person even came close to explaining to me.

2. “Protein Malabsorption” – my gut muscles had more or less atrophied. I was suffering from a form of paresis –  dysfunctional gut muscles.

3. “Proteolytic Enzyme” – a naturally occurring enzyme which helps to break down proteins (there is protein in all food – more or less) and relieve stress on the gut muscle. In other words a catalyst supporting the gut muscle not unlike a band on a footy player’s thigh. It occurs in green papaya powder and pineapple in the form of papain and bromelain, respectively.

So after I began using some green papaya which I obtained from India (and now grow pesticide free and process here in Queensland, Australia) I noticed an instant response to my reflux and other symptoms. After a year they had all but gone.

#2 At the same time I changed the food I was eating, refining my options, ensuring I still had the sweet, sour, salty, savoury,creamy and crunchy eating experience.

I found easy to prepare bread and milk alternatives. I found ways to have a nutritious breakfast which helped both with my elimination and giving me a head start to the day.

Here are the 7 FREE Recipes I promised you at the start of this article. Click on the image and select anyone of the recipes. Hit the ‘Click here to watch video’ on the complimentary recipes page and also download a .pdf to each recipe if you’d like to keep the recipe handy.  Master the art of thinking ahead for your child’s sake too. The best time to make the seed bread is Sunday afternoon and keep in an airtight container in the fridge for the rest of the week. I make cashew milk as I need it each day and let the nuts soak to remove the need for straining through a nut bag. TIP: Almond milk needs straining and tends to go off faster than Cashew milk. The making principle is the same. Just decant into a glass bottle if making ahead and it will last for up to seven days in the fridge.

7 Solutions To Beat Hunger in Gluten & Dairy Intolerant Kids

My best advice to parents of kids suffering from wheat and dairy intolerance is to seek natural whole plant based alternatives. Steer away from so-called gluten free breads or anything processed which says it’s gluten free. The wee tummy is under so much pressure the idea is to give it a hand up with its functional healing and then follow through with ‘kind food’. Don’t forget you can get more recipes here on my website and also from my hardcopy print of Let’s Eat RAW Recipe book

Rawsome Raw Challenge Result

raw vegan chocolate mousse dessert

The Winner of our first midweek challenge is….. (drumroll)….  CINDA PLOWMAN

Thank you to everyone who took part in our very first ‘midweek challenge’ and a huge THANK YOU to Cinda for sending in this story and her very creative pictures…

“The journey of raw is always pleasantly surprising!

As former chocolate addict giving up processed refined chocolate has always been challenging – until I discovered the Rawesome chocolate experience! I have been making my own raw praline chocolates that dance with your taste buds in a luscious way!

When I received this mid week challenge I felt excited to participate, as I have never used avocado to make a dessert or experienced a raw mousse.

The velvety, creamy, light, wholesome goodness sent music to my mouth and again my taste buds danced to the luscious combination of the smooth vs. crunch & bitter vs. sweet & I made the addition of pure essential mint oil for a classic choc mint finish!

Creativity and presentation makes an ascetically pleasing dish so I used the avocado shells, fresh mint, cacao nips and maple syrup to create colour and the chocolate desire.

Thank you for the fun quick challenge, looking forward to the next creative experience.” Cinda

This Week’s Challenge?  Mushrooms with Wild Herb Cream

Here’s another quick and simple recipe for you to try as part of the Let’s Eat Raw Midweek Challenge.  A little bit more effort than last week, but most of the time involved is in soaking nuts and preparing the marinade.  The actual presentation will take you just a few minutes.  So, if you’re the type of person who likes to be organised, here we go!

MUSHROOMS remain an all-time favourite of mine. They are full of B12 and Niacin and are a wonderfully healthy food when integrated into your diet on a regular basis. Here is a recipe taken from one of my recent RAW Food Master Classes. It would make a great addition to your festive-fare table - not cooked and no dairy either.
