The theme for Cook with Us #17: Raw Food

No Mystery Theme this Week

One of the more interesting trends in food these days is the raw food movement. To be considered raw, a food may not be heated above 40–49oC (104–120oF). The raw food diet that we are familiar with today is actually not modern at all and has been around for over one hundred years. There are many variations of raw food diets including raw veganism, fruitarian and even raw animal food diets (raw paleo). In this latest revival of the raw food diet, we are seeing so many new restaurants opening and chefs exploring the possibilities of raw food cuisine. It is definitely a great time in food history when we can try so many new types of foods and experiment with different ways of eating. source
Now it is your turn. This week the Cook with Us team - @chefsteve, @pandamama and @offoodandart - would like to see what you can do when we take away your ovens, stoves and grills. Your only rule for this challenge is that no food in your dish can be heated above 40-49oC or (104-120oF). Be creative and think outside the box on this challenge. We look forward to seeing what you create!
We decided to not have a mystery theme this week as the options for raw food is endless.
Good luck and we look forward to seeing your creations as well as learning from you!
