Not-So Black "Licorice Candy" Wheels

info@rawfullytempting.com (Barbara Shevkun) — Thu, 11 Apr 2013 09:09:03 PDT

Black licorice has always been a love of mine, and while sucking on licorice root is pleasant, nothing has come close to the CHEWY texture of black licorice candy. Here's my first attempt at raw "licorice" wheels. They're still in the dehydrator,and should get a bit darker and firmer than pictures. Chewy, delicious, and enough "licorice" flavor from the star-anise...

Caramel Sauce

info@rawfullytempting.com (Barbara Shevkun) — Fri, 01 Mar 2013 08:38:00 PST

This sauce is very reminiscent of caramel topping that I used to love to drizzle over ice cream sundaes. I've recreated this luscious topping and have used it on brownies, granola bars, cookies, raw ice cream...or just licked it off the spoon. If you want the sauce to stay liquid, follow directions below. If you want it to be more solid when it dries, add melted cacao butter to recipe, apply...

Buckwheat - How to Sprout

info@rawfullytempting.com (Barbara Shevkun) — Sat, 12 Jan 2013 12:36:58 PST

Buckwheat is simple to sprout and takes less time than other grains because technically, once rinsed, it doesn't need to be soaked. Buckwheat is gluten free and can be a great alternative to those with a sensitivity. Once sprouted, dehydrate and grind into flour, or use whole and add a crunch to a variety of recipes. Some examples I've made are Candied Mint Buckwheat, Rum Buckwheat,...
