ABOUT TOWN
| Jennifer Cornbleet is the Rachael Ray of raw food.
Her new cookbook, Raw Food Made Easy for 1 or 2
People promises to teach you how to make delicious
and simple, uncooked, vegan dishes in less than
thirty minutes. It’s perfect for all those
New Yorkers who live alone, have no time, and want
to eat a little better without spending much money
or making much of an effort. “Everyone wants
to find tasty ways to eat more fruits and vegetables,”
says Cornbleet. “I want to make it way more
fast, easy and accessible. No fancy equipment or
obscure ingredients necessary.” Cornbleet,
a former high school English teacher, was turned
on to raw food cuisine by a college yoga teacher.
“It made a huge difference in my health,”
she says. “I lost weight, had more energy,
clearer skin and I slept better.” For those
who picture four sticks of celery sitting on a plate,
Cornbleet assures that raw food cuisine can be intensely
flavorful and pleasurable. She will be promoting
her new book and giving “uncooking”
demonstrations all week. She promises free tastes
of a healthy flourless chocolate cake with raspberry
sauce. Combine “healthy” and “chocolate”
and you’ve got me. (Lisa Gross) |
