We eat a lot of meat. Grilled, confited, and roasted - we are not strangers to eating high on the hog. But we make a good effort to eat other things too, and are enthusiastic tofu, seitan, and tempeh eaters, and we incorporate raw food in our diet too. It's even better when the raw food isn't just a tossed salad, or some hippie-granola ick (noted, we eat hippie ick). Our raw diet changed with the purchase of Charlie Trotter and Roxanne Klein's RAW. Their recipes elevated raw food to the gourmet level, and they integrated flavor profiles from all over the world.
