]]> The Big Week - Easter Week http://www.therawgreek.com/news/2011/04/19/the-big-week-easter-week Tue, 19 Apr 2011 00:00 GMT
Here in Greece it is a very important time of year and has even been named 'The Big Week' (H Magali Evdomada). During this time people attend church and start the preparations for the Easter feast on Sunday.

As is well known in the Western world the lead up to Easter is accompanied by a fast, in Greece this entails removing all animal products (dairy, eggs & meat) from the diet in order to purge the body of sins in preparation for Holy Communion received on Easter weekend.

Those that haven't been able to fast for the whole 40 day period are likely to this week and more emphasis is put on vegan foods.

We are proud to say that all The Raw Greek products and the recipes in the The Raw Greek book are raw vegan and are therefore acceptable this time of year.

As raw vegans our conscious is clear all year round because we pride ourselves in refraining from the consumption of animal products.

]]> The Festival of Life 2010 http://www.therawgreek.com/news/2010/09/28/the-festival-of-life-2010 Tue, 28 Sep 2010 00:00 GMT
The Festival of Life at Conway Hall which i missed out on last year because Eleftheria was still little and i wasn't ready to face my public just yet.

The festival was buzzing with enthusiastic raw foodists and new products to try.

As always i met lots of new and wonderful people and caught up with some old friends.

My little table was constantly bustling with people trying our Raw Olives and sampling dips like Raw vegan Taramasalata, Tzatziki and Olive and Almond Pate all available in my book The Raw Greek. My ears were ringing with the hum of Mmmm Mmmm Mmming from the happy tasters.

Our Unsalted Kalamata Olives and Lightly salted Throuba Olives went down a treat and customers left happy and satisfied with their bags full of Raw Greek goodies.

Our new Dry Greek Figs were also well received for their fresh, soft deliciousness.

The beauty of Raw Food Festivals is that you get to see and try other peoples products, we were lucky enough to have some raw ice-cream from Inspiral, the familiar raw chocolate, and to my delight Kale Chips, which are going to be available in the UK very soon watch this space for where and when to get yours.

I wish the day could have lasted longer but unfortunately all good things have to come to an end. So until next year...]]> The Raw Greek Update http://www.therawgreek.com/news/2010/05/31/the-raw-greek-update Mon, 31 May 2010 00:00 GMT I spent most of last month in the UK visiting friends, family, networking among other rawfoodists and sharing some love by spreading the word and the flavours of The Raw Greek’s marvellous rawfoods. The reintroduction of our Unsalted Kalamata Olives was very well received as were all of our food products like Dried Tomatoes and Throuba Olives.  We even picked up some new products to add to our e-shop. This month we’re introducing Tiana Organic Virgin Coconut Oil which is a quality Fair Trade coconut oil that is simply delicious. Read the article Coco Loco for the scoop on coconuts and tips on ways to prepare and eat coconut oil.

Mmmm and to take full advantage of cherry season we've added a refreshing Raw Cherry Cheesecake to our recipe section, a great way to celebrate the rising temperatures is to whip nutrient packed little cherry morsels and Tiana Coconut Oil into a refreshing cheesecake.

Succulent, juicy and delicious these olives are well worth the wait.

We have also introduced 2 new raw snacks to our shelves.

Pasteli is a traditional Greek snack usually made from sesame seeds and honey or sugar. We have found something even better.

Although also called Pasteli these bars bear very little comparison to the traditional kind.
Our pasteli is made from the best dried figs Greece has to offer, walnut pieces and sesame seeds.

We currently have 2 flavours in stock.
Plain; which contains dried figs, walnuts and sesame seeds and Spiced made up of dried figs, walnuts, sesame seeds, cinnamon and clove.

These are a super nutritious raw snack for all ages, they are easy to carry around in a hand bag, lunch box or pocket and are perfect for a quick snack on the run or at home.

Plain 60g - £1.80
Spiced 60g - £1.80
]]> Carob - The Food of the Egyptian Kings http://www.therawgreek.com/news/2010/03/02/carob-the-food-of-the-egyptian-kings Tue, 02 Mar 2010 00:00 GMT
The truth is that it really is a superfood because it contains tons of nutrients and is super rich in calcium.  Carob contains twice as much calcium as milk!  Yep you read that right, and to top it off it tastes delicious and is a great addition to desserts and smoothies.

For the full scoop on carob check out our Carob article.

Great news!  You can now get your raw organic carob powder right here at The Raw Greek e-shop.

We stock carob powder in 250g and 500g bags from only £4.00.

]]> The Beginning of the Easter Period http://www.therawgreek.com/news/2010/02/14/the-beginning-of-the-easter-period Sun, 14 Feb 2010 00:00 GMT Taramasalata (fish roe dip) and Halva (a sweet made from sesame seeds), which are traditionally eaten on Kathari Defteri (Clean Monday).

The 15th February this year is Clean Monday in Greece and marks the beginning of lent. In Western society people celebrate the beginning of lent by making and eating pancakes. In Greece the emphasis is on the day the fast begins and as usual is celebrated with food. During lent the orthodox tradition is to give up meat, dairy and all animal products for 40 days with the exception of certain days where fish is allowed. One fasts in order to purge the mind and body of sin in preparation for the Holy Communion received during the Easter weekend.

On clean Monday families gather and eat Taramasalata (fish roe dip) and Halva (a sweet made from sesame seeds). The Raw Greek book contains many recipes which are great for the lenten period, it even contains recipes traditionally eaten on Clean Monday such as Taramasalata and Halva. The Raw Greek website also features the unique and delicious raw vegan recipe for Taramasalata which looks just like the traditional dip and even tastes like the real thing. If you haven’t already seen and tried this recipe now is the best time, believe me you wont be disappointed.

]]> The NEW Raw Greek website is here http://www.therawgreek.com/news/2009/12/15/the-new-raw-greek-website-is-here Tue, 15 Dec 2009 00:00 GMT
Our company ethos is the same, we just decided it was time for a change.

Many people are against making new years resolutions because they see them as a waste of time, but for me when I set goals and write them down 9 times of out 10 I will follow them through.

In 2008 I concentrated on myself and my family, I got married, had a baby and became a qualified nutritional therapist.

At the end of 2008 I made a list of new years resolutions and decided that 2009 would be dedicated to The Raw Greek. As a result my website got revamped and I made huge progress on sourcing new products.

By the skin of our teeth the new Raw Greek website skidded sideways into the real world just before the years end.

We’ve worked hard to get The Raw Greek website live before the year ends so we can concentrate on new projects for the new year.

Our new website is jam packed full of insightful information about the raw food diet, new recipes and new products.

Check back regularly to make sure you don’t miss out on special offers and new products that you wont want to miss.
