Long Overdue Return

I have been long absent from the blog although our local farms continue to provide us with amazing organic local produce - even in the winter months.
We are grateful.
We are still utilizing local garlic, Jerusalem artichokes, clover sprouts, beets and apples. We are also in the process of bringing some new items to the shelf for you including our Asian Dressing/Marinade (By popular demand!!)

Things have been flowing a little bit different in 2010 - I have been living in Bellingham, Washington half time working and playing and studying and collaborating with Justin Bilancieri of Bloom a vegan eatery serving organically conscious cuisine in Downtown Bellingham

and Chef Sprout AKA Bruce Horowicz of The Sun Kitchen & R.I.P.E. (Raw Institute of Permaculture Education)

AND completing a Quantum Midwifery course with The Matrona

My partner has taken over Olympia's kitchen duty and all of the responsibilities of maintaining our space at 8 Arms Community Bakery in addition to transitioning Raw Alchemy into the only business currently offering bicycle delivery in all of Olympia. We are pleased to be able to offer the first bicycle courier position in Olympia and to lower on impact on our community. Deliveries to both Olympia Food Co-ops are now being made on bicycle as well as scooping up most of the supplies.

We are in the process of creating some exciting new everythings!
Keep posted with the classes and potlucks here and at our MeetUp site.
Our next class is Thursday @ GRuB's Kirtchen, see you there!

Local Consumption Apple Nori Rolls

Nori, Local Organic Jerusalem Artichokes (Wobbly Cart), Local Organic Carrots (Boistfort Valley Farm), Local Organic Beets (Pigman's Organic Produce Patch), Local Organic Parsley (Calliope Farm), Local Organic Keepsake Apple (OPMA), Organic Sundried Raisins (California), Organic Ginger (Peru), Local Organic Jim's Silver Garlic (Pigman's Organic Produce Patch), Local Water, Organic Raw Sesame Oil, Organic Tamari

Using the Jerusalem Artichokes has definitely made the Nori rolls sweeter. Jerusalem Artichoke can be juiced and used as a sweetner with a very minimal effect of the glycemic index. We use it as a liquid sweetner in place of agave in recipes due to agaves effects on the body.

Local Consumption Harvest Pasta

Local Organic Carrots (Boistfort Valley Farm), Local Organic Beets (Pigman's Organic Produce Patch), Local Organic Music Garlic (Calliope Farm), Local Water, Organic Ginger (Peru), Local Organic Jim's Silver Garlic (Pigman's Organic Produce Patch), Sundried Raisins (California), Organic Tamari, Organic Raw Sesame Oil, Organic Raw Sesame Seeds

I like to have a lot of room to stir my sauce into the carrot and beet spiraled strands, so usually when I eat this I pour it into a larger bowl. I am always amazed how full the bowl is... for a minute!

Lately this is the dish that my toddler is requesting too. Although the one she "makes" is "cauliflower nori and sprouts for you"
