Thanks for sharing this wonderful article with us. I have been vegan for 6 years and now a raw vegan for 1 year and 2 months, and I really love it. I have had a strong passion for natural health ever since I was young and I love preparing food. It has been ringing in my ear to start a raw vegan business since I have such a passion for it, and I have prerecorded lots of raw recipes on my computer, but am stuck a to how to start. I have many friends who have commented on a few recipes I shared on my timeline. Please can you give me any advice? Thanks.

In reply to Cmok. It is funny hearing all the debate and conflicting information about cutting boards. Just my opinion, but I stick to plastic ones and use bleach after certain preparations. Even being in a science based profession, I never know for sure if cutting board bacteria is a real risk, or if it is just something that gets exaggerated.

I was hoping that this article would discuss how to pick the best fresh fruit and veggies. This is something I struggle with on every trip to the grocery store. You can look at an apple and clearly see that it is bruised or rotten. Or with tomatoes if they are really soft, you can know that it is probably not a good one to buy. But what about spaghetti squash or avocados. There is so much to learn about choosing produce.

Learning to eat better is hard. I did not know I would need all of these devices to do so but I know now. I understand what everyone is saying about cutting boards. I have a plastic one and I hate cleaning it. It seems like everything sticks to the board. I also think that a blender is great to have in general. I like my ninja but I am not a heavy blender. At least not yet.

Will definitely be getting these the next time I go to a food appliance store. I love making raw food because it is much healthier. With raw meals the appliances are used much more and can shape the whole meal. Food processors and blenders are essential to great raw meals because they can make the meals so much more interesting. I need to invest in a new high power blender. Mandoline slicers can also make dishes very interesting.

I am not on a raw food diet, but I do try to make some raw food regularly. I am also very interested in raw cakes and desserts (hint, hint 🙂 ) I agree that knives and a cutting board are very important in any kitchen, and my blender was a very good investment. I do not own a dehydrator, but use the sun for drying food sometimes. A food processor and mandolin or on my wish list.

The mandolin is the king of all kitchen cutting tools if you do any cutting in volumes.

I’m not into the whole raw food fad, but I make a lot of things at home that need to be sliced like homemade potato chips or vegetable fries.

The mandolin does the job in 1/10 of the time as a conventional knife, leaving me more free time for the important things in life (like drinking craft beer and reading this blog!)

When my current girl friend introduced his work mate as a raw food chef i almost burst with laughter. I never imagined a raw food chef would look so sassy. I however came to realize that their existence is really significant in our day to day lives. I’m sure this article is really going to draw her attention.

I think having the right cutting board and knife set makes such a difference. I used to use a cheap knife set. I would always slip and almost cut my fingers. Also I would never be able to cut my veggies thin enough. I finally invested in a a good quality knife and it makes such a difference. I’m able to slice veggies thinner then I was ever able to. I also don’t slip which cutting as much. I’m a big fan of cutco knives. I invested in a vegitables and meat knife and those are the only two I ever use.

That dehydrator would be nice to have. All the other ones are obvious must haves.
