Those of you that know me would understand exactly what I mean when I say that I have never been a raw food fan. I eat a good amount of fresh salad greens from my garden, but don't wax lyrical about raw, non-dairy versions of dairy classics.

But today I fell upon what appears to be a lovely recipe for a raw dairy-free 'cheesecake'. The picture certainly hooked me in. I've made some amazing chutneys before with raw cashews, so I'm aware of their versatility when creamed up to a smooth puree.

The ingredient list (and that's what I look at first before any decision-making as to what it may taste like) is impressive: macadamia nuts, cashews, Medjool dates, dried coconut, coconut oil, lime juice, raw agave nectar, sun-dried vanilla bean and mixed berries. You can't go wrong with a line-up like that.

Here's the recipe.

As soon as any of you try it out, please report back and tell me if it tastes as good as it looks.

All serious vegetarians read the labels on purchased food items. Letters like this pop up from time to time. Since numbers change and new ones are added, it's always appropriate to update your list.

My reply:

"Here's a good link" Please note that it's formulated for vegans, not just vegetarians, so read it carefully.
