Raw berry cheesecake by Frances

Posted by Bake Club on Saturday, July 27, 2013, In : desserts 

After the success of my first raw 'cheesecake', I had the impetus to attempt a berry swirl cheesecake and experiment with the original recipe. It's a fine line with raw recipes and some things didn't work as well. The base is 1 cup almonds, 1 cup hazelnuts (instead of buckwheat) and 1/2 cup sunflower seeds but even the 1/2 cup of seeds meant there was too much base.

4-seed crackers by Frances

Posted by Bake Club on Saturday, July 13, 2013, In : savoury 

I got this recipe from Homegrown Kitchen - really easy!

1 cup sunflower seeds
1 tablespoon coconut oil or olive oil
1/2 cup sesame seeds
1/4 cup flax seeds of chia seeds
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
1/2 teaspoon sea salt + extra for sprinkling
1/2 teaspoon kelp granules (optional – add extra nutrition)

Put the sunflower seeds in a bowl and cover with water, soak overnight. The soaking releases phytic acid found in seeds and whole grains that can interfere with mineral absorption. It also plump...
