my mom's raw vegan supper club

Last week my mom teamed up with her friend and fellow raw-food-enthusiast, Lydia, to host a raw vegan supper club! The two of them prepared all the food from scratch in my parent's kitchen, and served the meal to about fifteen paying guests set up a various tables around the house. The evening was a huge success, and they're already getting requests for another meal!

Martha and Lydia's five course raw vegan menu

I. Three Peppercorn-Crusted Cashew Cheese with Honeycomb & Balsamic vinegar
II. Herb Salad with Tahini & Dulse
III. Butternut Squash Bisque with Spiced Parsley Salad
IV. Creamy Polenta with Wild Mushroom Ragout and Fried Shallots
V. Banana Chocolate Tart with Caramel and Chocolate Sauces

  2. Just in case anyone is interested...several of the recipes were tweaked from the raw recipe book "RAW" by Charlie Trotter & Roxanne Klein.
