Norice-salad “sushi”

Salads are awesome – a lot of vitamins, phytonutrients and fibre. But seriously, eating a salad every day CAN become boring. And then…and then you need to make Norice-salad sushi! 🙂

This is what I have done today to perk things up a bit:

Norice-salad sushi

-100g cucumber grated
-2 beetroots grated
-1 parsnip grated
-bunch of dill
-2 Yaki Nori sheets (bought in a Korean store)

In big bowl mix all ingredients and add any dressing (I have added: 1 tbs Extra virgin olive oil, 1 tsp apple vinegar, 1 tbs hemp oil). Prepare sushi mat (also could be bought in a Korean store) by putting 1 Yaki Nori sheet.

Then squeeze the juice from the salad – otherwise you are going to get a “sushi ocean” on your plate:)

Place the salad on the sheet, BUT make sure that you have left 2 cm (1 inch) from the top of the sheet – to avoid salad “jumping” from the sheet while you are rolling a sushi roll.

Roll and enjoy! SUPER easy and fast! :)…and OMGsoTASTY!!!! 🙂final04 final1

Raw cafe

Opened just 6 month ago in a busy and touristy Bayswater area Raw is a peaceful paradise:)

ImageThe food menu is quite intriguing and most ingredients are organic. There is also a separate drinks menu, which has smoothies, moktails and juices.

ImageHowever when it comes to serving its not really super fancy. And taste is ok-ish. I however really liked white miso sauce.

Here are some of the menu items.

Wiled spinach salad: easy to make at home guys!:) Avocado, spinach and white miso as a sauce – taste very nice 🙂

Zucchini  “Tagliatelle” again with miso sauce.

And some dessert (cacao+coconut flour+coco butter – baked 20 min in an oven) and veggy cocktail 7,5£ (avocado+almond milk+cucumber+pepper). Gorgeous lady was very excited to see the cake as you can see;)

All in all, the place is ok for a nice tea and a chat, or if you are somewhere around and need to spend a few hours relaxing in a shade of trees (and 5 min stroll to Hyde Park simply seems tooo far away)…

..BUT I would not recommend to come here for food at the moment. 

Atmosphere: relaxed and chilled, very modern style, a lot of space!
Menu: simple and straight forward, no fancy staff
People:service would be like 3 out of 5. Slow and not very attentive people
Price: £5+. A decent lunch will cost you £25 for 1 person
Occasion: well, if you are in the area of bayswater and want to spend some time with friends in a quite modern cafe
