Inspired by my Raw Food Diet I did a while ago, I made this Cherry salad. Has got some goat cheese which you could replace with goats curd, if you prefer 100% Raw.

• 1/2 cup mong beans
• 30g goat cheese
• two handfuls of cherries, pitted and sliced
• mixed leafs
• 1 bunch spring onions
• 2 tbs extra virgin olive oil
• 1tbs cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp cloves
• 1 bunch mint
• 1 red chili
• 2 rosemary springs

Blend sliced cherries with olive oil, rosemary springs, cinnamon and cloves. Set it aside while you chop mixed leafs, mint, chilli, and spring onions. Blend it all together with the mong beans and top with goat cheese before serving. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and add  salt and pepper after taste.

Yummy cake with orange and honey syrup on top!

• 1 cup, chopped dried dates
• 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
• 3/4 cup of water
• 60g butter
• 2/3 cup caster sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 1/2 cups plain flour
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans
• 2 drops vanilla essence
• juice of 1 lime
• zest from half an orange
• 2tbs honey
• 1 cinnamon coil

Preheat oven to 180 Celsius

Grease a bread tin with baking paper. Combine bi-carbonate of soda and the dates in boiling water and leave to cool. Cream butter and sugar until pale and add one beaten egg, the cooled dates, shifted flour, walnuts and vanilla essence. Shift carefully around before you pour mixture into prepared tin and bake for about an hour. Make sure you can dip a skewer in the middle and get it out dry before you take it out of the oven. Boil honey, zest from the orange, juice of one lime and 1 cinnamon coil for a few min before you brush the top of the cake with the syrup. Cool on a wire rack.

Fresh, healthy dessert. Done in a few minutes, but best cooled for a few hours after in the fridge.

• 1 mango, peeled and cut into cubes
• 200g silken tofu
• juice of one lime
• 1tbs honey
• one handful chopped almonds

Mix all in the blender, and divide in four glasses. After a few hours in the fridge, drizzle chopped almonds over the mousse and serve.
