Secret Sauce Recipes From A Raw Food Kitchen

Do you have any idea where much of the flavor of any of your favorite dishes can be found? Bingo! It's in the sauce. If you think about it, isn't Fettuccine Alfredo just a boring plate of pasty pasta before you spoon on the creamy Alfredo sauce? Another example are veggie summer rolls - can you imagine now good they would taste without dipping them in the Thai peanut sauce. Can you say "rabbit food"?

To get an awesome tasting dish, it's plain to see you need to also incorporate a sauce that is as delicious - if not more delicious, than the meal itself. What's less simple to understand is that most standard sauces are filled with toxic ingredients like hydrogenated oils, refined sugar, butter, cream and high fructose corn syrup.

I mean, come on, 850 calories are in a single serving of Alfredo sauce from the restaurant chain Olive Garden, and 432 of those calories originate from fat. Or how about the Big Mac, at about 560 calories - 100 of them from the sauce of salad dressing, pickles and brown sugar.

The sauce that is the biggest culprit for fat and calories is those of the sweet kind. As an example, Smuckers hot fudge syrup contains five grams of fat and 18 grams of sugar in one serving of two tablespoons. Now that may seem like not much, but who stops at two tablespoons? Not me! There are many complications with traditional sauces, as well, that occur as a result of highly refined ingredients utilized to manufacture them. The prevailing trouble with commercially made peanut butter underscores exactly how much more healthy it is to utilize ingredients that grow in your garden...or the local farmer.

The good news is that you can make Alfredo sauce with no cream that tastes wonderful. Likewise, it possible to make peanut sauce without the processing, and other yummy sweet sauces without sugar. I've shown you how in the recipes in my books, on my website and in my You Tube videos.

Suggestions for Making Raw Sauces

Raw food sauces are delicious and nourishing. For example, my recipe for raw Fettuccine Alfredo dresses transparent ribbons of light green zucchini with a sauce made from soaked cashews plus a savory spice mixture. Believe me; you won't miss the cream or butter (or the fat plus calories).

I have a recipe for those of you with a penchant for green sauces - my raw Pesto sauce recipe. Ironically, it's almost identical to the original sauce you are used to - it contains basil leaves, garlic cloves, olive oil and pine nuts. Everything is the same - except the pine nuts are raw, not roasted in my recipe.

If you love peanut sauce as much as I do, then you won't be disappointed. I formulated a Mock-Thai peanut sauce made from raw almond butter, rather than peanuts, that tastes absolutely divine. Not only that, but it's nutritionally superior to the original. Pay a visit to my web site LearnRawFood.com and get these and other delicious recipes absolutely free!
