Hello everyone. My name is Matt Fuller. This is Denise Bennet, my partner. We are the proud
facilitators of the Light and Love Cafe. We are here on behalf of the Expert Village.
What we're going to do, I'm going to try my best to tell you ingredients and portions,
but the truth is that once you go on this path, you just start to have fun. I look in
the fridge and I've got an apple, a plum, I've got an Asian pear, banana, and I've got
some nuts which is going to be used for the crust. And I'll show you how to do that. Most
raw foodists are going to be using dates and nuts for the crust of their pie. No wheat.
It sounds strange, after you try it, it is really hard to go back to a wheat crust, so
I'm going to start out with the crust. Are you going to be using some goji rice today?
I might. You might? I might. If you just get a typical juicer which is kind of like the
cylinder, it won't do what this one does. This one has, actually I can show you, it
has kind of a corkscrew type of fashion, and I'm not hugely familiar with these. Pull that
out so that they can see that. It's pretty unique. This is actually what creates the
juice, correct Denise? Yeah, it just moves the flesh into finer and finer portions. It
pushes it through that screen there. Very fine screen, I let my intuition guide me which
is pretty much how I get through my life. I tell you what, this machine was awfully
intimidating for me when I first saw it, but it's actually really simple. Don't let it
scare you. I suppose you could use a food processor, you could use that, but I have
never and the reason that I like this one and you will find it's because behind this
cap we get usually like this nut cream which I don't think you're going to get with a food
processor. What we're doing right now is the dates, this is going to be for the crust.
And, this particular machine will not allow nuts to go through it by themselves. We're
using here, my preference, a majewel date. There are many varieties of dates, so you
can use anything that appeals to you. Of course you have to remove the pit. This particular
machine needs to be, you have to have moisture with the nut or else it will clog up the machine,
that corkscrew part of it.
