There’s a book review I’ve been wanting to write here for a few weeks and it has felt challenging for me to get the words down that I want to use, to express how I feel about this piece of work. I think I’m ready now ;)
‘Evie’s Kitchen’ is UK raw food diva Shazzie’s latest book and it is all about raising healthy, 
The ‘heroine’ of the book, Evie, is Shazzie’s gorgeous little daughter, who is now four and a half. In this book, Shazzie shares from her heart about how their journey together so far has unfolded, along with masses of interesting info on natural parenting. Shazzie covers pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding, co–sleeping, baby carrying, vaccines, natural healthcare and lots more. She writes with the abundant love and care of a mother, especially offering unparalleled attention to detail about all the nutritional needs of a growing little one – Vitamin D, B12 issues, protein, minerals – she covers it all. I also loved the section where Shazzie reveals what is in her ‘medicine chest’ and explains how she makes use of products like MSM, colloidal silver, vitamin C and so on as natural ‘medicines’ for friends and family. In one section, Shazzie shares the story of Evie’s first few years here – pre–womb, in the womb and outside and I found this a very moving tale to follow, truly shared from the heart.
The latter part of the book contains over 180 raw food recipes all designed with children in mind. These are the things Evie has been eating since she got here (other than breastmilk ;)... The recipes are conveniently divided up into ages, e.g. things to start offering from 6 months, from 1 year etc...
The luscious full–colour vibrant photos make this book an absolute visual TREAT – the recipes all look amazing and most of them of course have very simple ingredients, as they were formulated with children in mind – yummmmm :)
I absolutely LOVE this book. I feel like it will be my closest handbook as and when we start to bring children into this world and I’ll refer back to it very often. I actually feel compelled these days to send this book to raw women I know who are pregnant, or people who are raising children and could use a bit more vibrancy on their plates ;) There is just SO much amazing info in here that I feel it’s essential reading for anyone wanting to raise healthy little ones...
One little suggestion for anyone in the US especially – the measurements in this book are in the metric system, not cups/teaspoons etc. SO, our best suggestion for you if you’d like to use the recipes in this book is to get hold of a simple little set of measuring scales for your kitchen (if you don’t already have some), so that you can measure out the ingredients.
As far as I know, we are the only people currently selling this book in N. America and we’re very happy to have it on offer...it is a true raw GEM :) You can see more about the book and purchase copies HERE. We've already gone through boxes of this book since it was released, it is very well loved :)
I truly hope you fall in love with this book too and appreciate it as much as I do. Thank you so much Shazzie for sharing this work of love :)
All love,
Angelalalalalaaaaaaaaaa. xxx

Reviews, RawMan and a Recipe :)
“Ciao Angela, I have read your new e-book Raw Emotions, I have to say that it is the best raw food book I have ever read so far (and I have read many :), you have done such an amazing work and I could totally relate on everything you have gone through. Very, very good job! Thanks you so much for it! Sara”
WOW, thanks Sara, feedback doesn’t get much more rewarding than that ;)
Uber-slick ‘Green Living’ site GLiving also recently posted a nice little article on Raw Emotions too, called ‘Raw Emotions: Got Food Issues?’. You can check that out HERE if you didn’t see it on their site yet: http://gliving.tv/bodydesign/raw-emotions-got-food-issues/
I love the last paragraph especially:
“It actually sounds like worthwhile reading for non-overeaters. After all, we all have issues, regardless of how they manifest themselves. And the fact that this information is coming not from a scientist crunching data in a lab, but from a living, breathing woman whose body is her showroom gives it credibility.”
LOL, thanks guys ;)
On March the 29th I had:
1.5 quarts water
1 cup cucumber/spinach/lettuces/beetroot/carrot/pak choi juice
3 cups beetroot/apple juice
bowl of figgy pudding: fresh figs and dried mulberries blended together and swirled with spirulina powder – WOW :)
1.5 quarts water
20oz spinach/carrot/pak choi juice
bowl of cucumber yum: grated cucumber mushed with sunflower seed pate, avocado, finely sliced onion, mixed sprouts and karengo seaweed, served in lettuce leaves
2 quarts water
While we’re on the subject of little reviews, dear Melissa over at ‘RawMom’ recently posted a write-up of her experiences learning to play and dance with some of our poi. You can

OOOOOOO and while we're on the subject of fun YouTube vids, I would HEARTILY recommend you tickle your amazement nodules by checking out the spectacular 'Adventures of RawMan and Green Girl', made by Ron Gilmore and recently shown at the Raw Film Festival - WOW :) This 7 minute short is JUST like an old-style superhero animation - with R

on March the 30th I had:
1.5 quarts water
slice of watermelon
20oz spinach/pak choi/carrot/cabbage juice
bowl of figgy pudding: fresh figs blended with fresh oranges, lucuma/yacon/vanilla/cinnamon powders and spirulina :)
1.5 quarts water

Ok, one final special treat for today...many of you seemed to be intrigued to know the contents of Mr Monarch’s spectacular spontaneous Easter surprise cake. WELL, charmer that he is, he pieced together the recipe for me to pass on to you – SWEET :) Here it is:
Ext-RAW-dinary Easter Layer Cake
*Blend 20- 25 Turkish dried figs in enough water to create a creamy consistency.
*Pour mixture into a big bowl and add:
2.5 cups of dried mulberries
1/2 a cup of diced dried figs
4 tablespoons of almond butter
2 tablespoons of tahini
*Let it all soak for at least 4 hours.
*Return to the mixture and throw in a tablespoon of vanilla powder, then mix thoroughly.
*Divide this mixture up into two bowls, making it ALMOST even but not quite.
*Add 1 cup of yacon powder to the bowl that has less in it and mix thoroughly.
*Put a layer of the ‘non-yacon’ mixture on the base of your display plate, then a layer with the yacon mixture, then the rest of the non-yacon mixture
*Then spread the rest of the yacon mixture around the entire top of the cake as a frosting.
*Decorate with dried or fresh fruit pieces, or as desired :)
ENJOY :)
One love,

Hey, uber-fabulous raw/chic/eco kids Gliving recently put up another article tapped out by my very fingers…it’s a juicy one…a 5-day Juice Feasting plan for those who feel just way too ‘city’ to slow down for juicy days…see it HERE.
on October the 4th I had:
1 litre water
1.1 litres orange/mango juice with coconut water
1 atamoya
400ml beet/celery/carrot juice
2 figs, 1 enormous peach

little handful of dulse with sprouts and pumpkin seed butter – ridiculously good…
2 goji/cacao treats
350ml green juice with carrot

I would just love to share this…I have a statistics monitor for this e-journal, which lets me know, among other things, which keywords people type in to search engines like Google, to end up on my pages…well, aside from the expected queries such as ‘raw food’, ‘raw weight loss’, ‘angela stokes’ and so on, there are often plenty of quite peculiar items too…for example, check out this list below for ten of the more curious queries of the last few days…
pictures of a tongue from not drinking enough liquid
durian medicine
morbidly obese monarchs
sinus tube eye
lifes just beachy
how much does lychee usually cost at a supermarket in michigan
raspberry honey bowel
parasites swarm orange juice
smurfette junk food
I love it…it’s so funny for me to see how people end up reading my stuff…and I'm sure these lines could be easily re-arranged into 'modern poetry' and passed off as performance art...anyway, if you’re one of those people who ‘accidentally’ ended up on this blog page while searching for, perhaps, the ‘average weight of a morbidly obese smurfette in Michigan’ or something similar, WELCOME, I do hope you find all you need here… ;)
One love,
Angela. xxx
