I’m featured in the June issue of Food & Wine Magazine, which hasn’t hit the shelves yet. But subscribers received their June issue early, and I’ve been getting lots of emails already. I can’t wait to read it myself!

Listen to my interview on Dynamic Health with Allart on CRFO, 1-2.7 FM Vancouver, BC from March 26, 2008. Discussed are the many benefits of a raw vegan diet and lifestyle - weight loss, cures disease, greater health, energy, mental clarity, lessened time needed for sleep, etc. It also lightens one’s environmental footstep - less packaging, pollution, transport costs, global warming, etc.
(Sorry I’m so behind on posting my updates. Been working on my new site, hoping to launch in a week or 2!)

Aston Martin Race Day & Wild Wild Rice Recipe

To balance out my 2 months of off-the-grid green living in Baja Mexico last month, this month’s highlight is the ESX Aston Martin Track Day at The California Speedway yesterday. I got to ride with professional racecar driver Gary Sheehan in his Subaru racecar on the straights at 140 miles an hour. Whooaaa!
I’m a hooked racer now….taking turns at that speed feels like a rollercoaster. My brother Max is a racecar driver, and he was teaching Aston Martin owners how to drive their street cars on the track. Fun job!
Okay, for balance … I’ll offer a “Fast and Furious” Wild Rice recipe for you to enjoy!
FAST & FURIOUS WILD WILD RICE
serves 4 to 6
12 oz Wild Rice, dry
1 1/2 cup parsley leaves, chopped
1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
1 garlic clove, chopped
1/2 lemon’s juice
3 Tablespoons olive oil
salt to taste
Start by soaking wild rice in filtered water for at least 1 full day. Rinse and change water 2-3 times per day. Finally, rinse well and place in mixing bowl.
Place remaining ingredients into bowl with soaked rice. Toss well and enjoy.
Will keep for 2-3 days in your fridge.
Baja-Inspired Treats

I stayed in a beautiful solar powered adobe house with an awesome garden full of lemon, lime, guava, cherimoya, tangerine, and orange trees.
I began writing my Baja inspired cookbook. Talk about local and seasonal - very limited produce selection there. Whatever was available fresh that day was my muse.
Here’s several recipes for you to enjoy. ¡Buen apetito!
