Recipe from Vegan Fusion World Cuisine. I picked up this book at Borders because I thought I would be High Raw/Vegan at some point. Well, I'm still 100% Raw but the good news is that this book has quite a few Raw recipes and it is great for anyone who wants to add more Raw or Vegan food into their diet. I LOVE it!

Hi Nicole!!!!
Thanks for the book info and the recipe. I am not a huge maker of nut or seed cheeze. Or even nut pates. I dont do well with tons of raw nuts, even sprouted and all that, doesnt matter. The kale chip coating is as far as i can push it :) and it's well worth it!
Miss you but am actually glad to not see you 'round as much b/c it means your living REAL life, the name of the game!!!!!!
