“Monkey Mike’s Raw Food Kitchen: An Un-cookbook for Kids by Joanne Newell is true to its green credentials in that it’s an ebook. There’s no cooking but lots of chopping and slicing as children are encouraged to transform organic ingredients into delicious recipes which are dairy free, gluten free, vegan and 100% raw.

Who can resist Squiggly zucchini pasta and cherry tom sauce, Merry berry milkshake and Cherry banana ice cream -  just  a selection from the 36 recipes on offer?

Written by an Australian mother with a worldwide readership in mind, the values and food sense throughout the book are universal. We loved all the extras: fun activities, workbook pages and food commentaries throughout.

You don’t have to be a raw food family to enjoy this book so if you’re looking for super healthy recipes to inspire your children to embrace fresh food, it’s quirky and lots of fun. Available from www.rawmom.com/monkey-mike for US$19.95.”

We are honored to have the fantastically talented, Joanne Newell as part of the Raw Mom team.

As soon as I entered the shop, I saw an earring and necklace set that sparkled and made me smile. As I held them up and looked in the mirror, I thought how special they would be if they were real diamonds… but I was happy I could treat myself to something pretty - so made my way to the cashier to find out if the mystical gift card would cover them.

As I skipped out of the shop, swinging my bag, I remembered shopping in that same shop with my mom as a child. How good it felt to be shopping with my mom and be bought a gift. Gifts made me feel loved, appreciated, and special.
