This is a really good cookbook that we use at home all the time.
Its from a local vegatarian restaurant called Rebar.
Its loaded with super good recipes.

this one for som tum (thai green papaya salad) is really good, but not quite so easy:
ingredients
*8-12 thai chillies (bird peppers), chopped
* 8 cloves crushed garlic
* 4 cups julienned peeled unripe papaya (the longer the strands, the more fun it is to eat)
* 1 cup green beans, sliced into bite-sized lengths
* 1 julienned carrot
* 1/4 cup tamarind juice the thickness of fruit concentrate
* juice of 2-3 limes, to taste
* 2-3 Tbs. tamari sauce, to taste
* 2-3 Tbs. honey
* 12 cherry tomatoes, halved
* 1/4 cup chopped unsalted roasted peanutsmake tamarind juice by starting with 1 tbs. of compressed tamarind in 1/3 cup of warm water. work the tamarind with your fingers to dissolve the soft fruit; gather up remaining undissolvable pulp, squeeze to extract juice and discard. Add more tamarind or water as necessary to make 1/4 cup of concentrate.
using mortar and pestle (if you've got them; otherwise, just mash as best you can with whatever implements you've got), pound the garlic and chillies to a paste. add to the beans and pound to bruise. follow with the green papaya and carrot. stir well with a spoon and pound to bruise the vegetables so that they absorb the heat and flavor of the chillies and garlic.
add the tamarind and lime juice, tamari sauce and palm sugar. stir and pound a bit more to blend the vegetables with the flavorings and seasonings. taste and adjust flavors to the desired hot-sour-sweet-and- salty combination. Then add the tomato pieces, stir and bruise lightly to blend in with the rest of the salad. transfer to a serving plate and sprinkle with peanuts.

raw bird sacrament:
heaps of calcium, very good for you
2 bunches kale
2 avocados
2 lemons
sea saltwash the kale and add the meat of the avocados and the juice of the lemons and a bit of salt. squidge the whole lot together with your fingers. makes a super nice salad. the lemon juice and salt break down the kale a bit so that it's digestible raw. same principle as ceviche.
mmm...

i'm on a crazy crazy diet :no wheat, sugar, corn, soy, caffeine, alcohol, dairy.
it's hard to find stuff to eat, but the stuff i do find is always delicious!
for lunch i had these rice "snaps" aka crackers with home-made hommus.
no booze is killing me though, i keep cheating.

I'm trying to eat well this week too, but I'm stressed out so I'm going to the fantastic, the one and only, Corner Bakery, for a delicious 1,110 calorie Corner Club Panini, and brownie.

I'm trying to go raw for at least a few days to recompense for this weekend, when I ate 2 cheesesteaks, McDonalds, White Castle (@ 4am), and mad amounts of Indian Food, washed down with at least 10 beers.

(Aug 22 05, 10:20)the white castle should have cleaned you all out.
