wow! these pictures are incredible! i really need to get your cookbook!
Yes you do! 😉
that’s gotta be SO EXCITING for you to see your recipes, via pictures, made in other people’s kitchens. I truly love it, more than anything, if someone makes a recipe of mine and blogs about it with their own photos…it’s the best thing ever to see it come alive in someone else’s world and hear what they thought about it!
AGREED! Not to be sappy, but it totally touches my heart. 🙂 One of the best feelings in the world!
Wow! I love that kale chip buffet! What a great idea! I bet her dehydrator was running for days!! 🙂
And that brunch! Wow!
P.S. I’m eating some of those sour cream and onion kale chips at my desk right now.
I know, right? Now *I* want a kale chip buffet!
I definitely need to get my hands on a copy soon! Everything looks great. I’m bummed that we’re booked all weekend and I can’t make it to the book signing on Saturday, but I’m counting on there being more in the future… ::crosses fingers::
I’m sure there’ll be another local signing or two in the future! 🙂
So awesome! I just got your book and it is so lovely and so packed with amazing high quality recipes. While all of the pics above do look good, I’m most excited about trying some of the sweets, particularly the cinnamon crumble coffe cake. I’ll let you know how it turns out!
I’m so glad you got the book!! I hope you love everything you try. Can’t wait to hear what you think!
You’ve reminded me that I actually need to BUY your book in order to try more recipes!
Haha, this is true! 😉
I want to go to Kristel’s house! How amazing is that? I want try to each kale chip flavor, yum! How many dehydrators did it take to do those? I can’t wait to get your book, fingers crossed I win a giveaway…
I know, right? A raw brunch bonanza and a kale chip buffet – I think that may be heaven!
The KALE CHIPS!!!Oh, how I want to try the kale chips:-) The major downside of living in this part of the world is that you can´t get kale here….BUT, I will make sure to smuggle some back with me from the States – along with your book of course – … then make my own huge kale chips buffet and send you pictures :-))
– I can feel it already…just know that I will love all your kale chips recipes…
I remember Jennifer telling me you can’t get kale in Thailand – you’ll have to really load up and indulge while you’re here! 🙂
Yes; I have to bring an empty suitcase from here!
Nope, no kale here….BUT – young coconuts in the back yard! I guess you cant have it all:-)
Oh yes, the coconuts! Ok, you may actually have the BETTER end of that deal 😛 I love my coconuts…
Hey Amber!
I just went to the post office and picked up my cookbook this morning. Can’t wait to work on making some of those kale chips! yum! Including the “insane” chocolate kale chips. I almost wish I wasn’t heading out all weekend on a retreat because I will have to wait to get started until next week.
I also bought a jar of TJ’s coconut oil which I’ve been using to cook a new purchase for me, Morningstar black bean burgers.
Sharon
FYI: Last time, I’ve been trying to post this since noon Thursday.
Yay, happy to hear that Sharon! You will LOVE the Chocolate Kale Chips. Sounds like you’re making wonderful strides in your healthier lifestyle – keep up the great work!
Oh wow! I’m pretty jealous of that brunch spread! Love the italian-themed lunch, too! I regret that I did not make a feast tonight but I did make my first raw dessert ever: the five minute blondies. They were sooo good! Amber, I know people tell you thIs a lot but “my non-vegan, non-raw husband loved them.” Seriously, I made them single-serving style and he made me make him another. I happily obliged, loving that he is loving raw foods. These really tasted like blondies and were a very satisfying dessert. They really do take only five minutes to make. Everyone should try these!
Thanks for the blondie testimonial, Tara! I’m pretty sure that recipe is my favorite one I’ve created, ever 🙂 They really are delicious and satisfying to EVERYONE. I’m so happy you both loved them! Feel free to send me a photo if you snapped one.
Oh darling, I meant to DM you on Twitter about your latest wedding post, as I read it at work but my phone wouldn’t let me comment. So thrilled that things are progressing, and am hoping very muchly that this means you’re feeling less stress/overwhelmed about it. Also, do let me know if that interview becomes streamable at some point?
Gorgeous looking food, of course. I’ll have to try the biscuits and gravy one day, if only because I’ve never had nor wanted the real version so the idea of a raw vegan version is highly entertaining.
The wedding is honestly the least of my stresses right now… =/
Yes, the interview audio is streamable HERE!
Perhaps when you come here I’ll make you both a raw vegan and a cooked vegan plate of B&G. 😀
Bahaha! We’re going to have to make sure we schedule in a FEW things while I”m there that aren’t just eating 😉
Also, 😦 and HUGS and please please feel free to write to me (ignoring all in my previous email). If it lessens the stress to have someone to talk to/at, of course. Only if it will help. I’m here. And writing very incoherently. But you know what I mean 🙂 xoxoxo
Yes yes, I DO need to write you back. I’m doing that thing where I’m putting it off because I’m expecting it to take hours because I have SO much to say. But I’ll try to be brief and hurry up!
I completely understand, that is exactly what I do/am doing to many others right now 😛
I want to try all of it! The salad sprinkles have me intrigued. As luck would have it, I ordered your book last night! Thank you for the congratulations.
Yay! I hope you and your family love it, Jenny!
Oh yum! I need to remember to take some photos the next time I make something from your book. I haven’t been good at remembering that lately. Oops 🙂
Hehe, that’s ok – as long as you’re enjoying the recipes, that’s what’s important! 🙂
Wow Amber, I can’t wait to order your book this looks perfectly delicious, especially the deconstructed sushi bowl yum!
I’m new to raw foods (well, to making other things than salad) and I read the preview on amazon yesterday, i love how you offer different options when people don’t have fancy equipment. I personally have a dehydrator, but when I didn’t, I wish i had this book!
Aw, thank you Frederika! I hope you love the book! 🙂
Hi, I am from Spain and getting into more raw food and I saw your blog and your book and I bought it on Amazon. I’m reading it at the moment and look forward to start your recipes. Thanks.
That’s wonderful, Maribel! I visited Spain in 2009 and have been dying to go back ever since. 🙂 Enjoy the book!
