Hi Steve,
And hi to everyone else! I am new to this forum!
I am keen to see how you get on with the raw food diet! Although I have no plans to follow the raw food diet myself, I am following your progress mainly to get new ideas for meals!
I am a vegetarian living in Italy and vegetarianism is pretty much unheard of here! It's all meat and fish! They do have some substitute foods but they are horrible. I've not been able to find any Quorn, any Linda McCartney foods (not sure if you get those in the USA) or even any supermarket own brand substitutes. It's like the UK was 10 or so years ago!
I'm beginning to get a bit fed up eating the same things all the time and since fruit and veg in Italy is very very good, I'm hoping your diet will give me plenty of fresh ideas to try! For example, the avocado, celery and tomato dish you made sounded lovely. Pity the supermarket had sold out of avocados!
Anyways, I hope you and everyone else following the diet are getting on ok!
Till next time...
Tina
