There’s a raw juice movement sweeping the nation. …as is seems to do from time to time. I remember my family briefly going through a similar craze when I was young. It seems to be a binge and purge business, there one minute, gone the next. This goes a long way toward explaining the impressive selection of juicers to be found in many suburbian rummage sale block parties. Well, color me a bandwagoner, I’m hooked. For how long it will last, no one knows. Many folks in the raw food community are onboard already, such as Phillip, Heidi, and Kris, to name just a few. Last week I wrote about my favorite fresh juice, or more precisely, about its color. This week we’re showing how to make it. Without further ado, we give you… “The Director’s Cut.” The Director’s Cut:2-3 large carrots, to taste2 ribs celery½ cucumber½ green apple1 small beet 1 thumb-sized piece of ginger Since we’ve been slow posting this past week, we’re going to be sure to include a bonus recipe in this week’s edition of our mailing list, the Freshtopian. If you haven’t already signed up, just enter your preferred email address in the widget at the site’s upper right corner. That issue will be coming out this Sunday, so be sure to tell all the neighborhood kids to sign up to receive the free recipe and secret decoder ring. …no, there’s no decoder ring. ]]> http://blip.tv/file/707311 Default Category Sat, 01 Mar 2008 02:15:30 +0000 http://a.images.blip.tv/Freshtopia-TheDirectorsCut269.jpg ]]> The Director's Cut http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/ B565F706-DA15-11DC-8851-87A2DDBF04D1 http://blip.tv/freshtopianet/valentine-s-day-pt-ii-671772 freshtopia 16469 freshtopia freshtopianet Freshtopia.net http://blip.tv/freshtopianet http://a.images.blip.tv/user_photo_freshtopia583-710.jpg 671772 665789 file TV-UN 0.0 2008-02-13T09:26:08Z English Food/Drink,HowTo/DIY/Tutorial 0 1 0 6 Food & Drink 1 303 AamBAAI http://blip.tv/play/AamBAAI http://blip.tv/comments/?attached_to=post671772&skin=rss Freshtopia-ValentinesDayPtII154.jpg http://a.images.blip.tv/Freshtopia-ValentinesDayPtII154-85.jpg Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.0

This episode we take you on a quick and dirty (and occasionally bloody) history of Valentine’s Day. The story of this holiday and its patron saint is still a bit of a mystery. From Roman pagan festivals (Lupercalia), to saintly love letters sent from the joint, the truth behind the origins of Saint Valentine’s Day continue to illude. Be sure to check back next Tuesday, when we'll be showing you how to make some festive pagan treats of your own.OscarDirector, Freshtopia.net ]]> http://blip.tv/file/654974 Music and Entertainment valentines day love lupercalia roman pagan Fri, 08 Feb 2008 09:42:20 +0000 valentines, day, love, lupercalia, roman, pagan http://a.images.blip.tv/Freshtopia-ValentinesDay155.jpg valentines, day, love, lupercalia, roman, pagan ]]> Valentine's Day http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/ B89216AA-D455-11DC-9883-B5C0A79C0150 http://blip.tv/freshtopianet/year-of-the-rat-655662 freshtopia 16469 freshtopia freshtopianet Freshtopia.net http://blip.tv/freshtopianet http://a.images.blip.tv/user_photo_freshtopia583-710.jpg 655662 649785 file TV-UN 0.0 2008-02-06T01:49:14Z English Food/Drink,HowTo/DIY/Tutorial 0 1 0 6 Food & Drink 1 305 AaiDEgI http://blip.tv/play/AaiDEgI http://blip.tv/comments/?attached_to=post655662&skin=rss Freshtopia-YearOfTheRat978.jpg http://a.images.blip.tv/Freshtopia-YearOfTheRat978-608.jpg Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.0
Happy Lunar New Year! February 7, 2008 begins the year of the Rat, the first year of the Chinese zodiac, a time of activity and renewal. Today we’ll take you on a quick tour of lunar new year basics, factoids, and food traditions. It is said that this is a good year to make a fresh start, and after the year we’ve had, we couldn’t agree more! As uncertified joy practitioners, we here at Freshtopia.net love a good reason to celebrate and eat some delicious food. So why not wear a little red, do a spot of cleaning (a lunar new year tradition), bring some fresh blossoms into your home and enjoy some healthy, auspicious fruits and vegetables?In addition to tossing a little green, Tanja put together a wonderful, earthy, spicy parsnip noodle salad for this episode. We’ll be putting the recipe in the next edition of the Freshtopian, so if you haven’t already signed up, do so by entering your preferred address in the field at the site’s upper-right.Special thanks to Justin Winokur, and Hello This Is Alex for letting us use their music in our show.

Why is it that when raw-food health gurus go on national television, talking about all the wonderful soups, rich entrees, and magical desserts you can have on a raw food diet, so often they end up handing over to the excited and anticipating host a glass full of green glop? (see video here, and here for examples) The green smoothie; almost invariably it’s met with a nervous stare, and followed promptly by an ick face upon tasting. We could make Cacao Pistachio Florentine, Portobello Burgers, or Curried Chocolate Pudding, but instead, in a moment of mindless passion, we make green smoothies. I say we because we at Freshtopia too have made this mistake. Check out first Green Smoothie episode here, and check out our old-timey stylings. It’s an easy mistake to make. Once you get on the green smoothie train, you tend to ride it all the way to happy town. I don’t really know what that means. The point is, often once people get into the GS, they tend to really get into the GS. It can be easy to forget that not everyone is so keen on the taste of pulverized kale and celery right out of the starting gate. It is not a transition food. There are exceptions. On a recent episode of Oprah, Dr. Memet Oz presented Ms. Winfrey with a bright green concoction that she was pleased to receive. Her response upon tasting, “It’s like a glass of fresh!” Our green smoothie episode garnered us our first video response. Our friends Steelee and Jessica gave our first smoothie a try, and were less than enthused about it. Fair enough, I wasn’t so jazzed at my first either. In time the body adjusts to the taste of more punchy, alkaline drinks, but it’s a good idea to start with a more accessible smoothie. So, if you’re up for giving it a shot, toss together the recipe below. As you’ll see, it’s so good even a child will like it! Green Smoothie 2.0:Serves 1-2 1 ripe banana1 Cup mango, chopped1-2 Cups fresh spinachWater as necessary 2 ice cubes 1 Tbspn flax oil, optional Blend as long as necessary. Make it as smooth as possible. Enjoy. The primary difference? More fruit, less (and less bitter) greens.

Fresh, ripe figs are the best. Sensuous, decadent and so delicious it almost seems wrong. So good, in fact, that it's perhaps a little crazy to do anything to them except enjoy their sweet flavorful perfection. However, there are those times when madness and the presence of figs in your life intersect. Why not try stuffing your figs with rich, creamy macadamia filling with a burst of bright lemony flavor, and topping them with crunchy pecans and a drizzle of golden honey?Maybe it's not so insane after all…Macadamia-Stuffed Figs:Serves about 4 6-8 large figs, or more if smaller onesMacadamia cheese:1C macadamia nuts soaked 1hour or moreJuice and zest of 1 lemon2T honey or agave syrup1t vanilla extractDash of sea saltPecans and additional honey for garnishBlend all "cheese" ingredients in food processor until smooth and fluffy, scraping down sides of processor if necessary to ensure even blending. Cut figs in half and use small spoon or spatula to mound about 1T of filling (depending on the size of the figs) in each half. Press a pecan sliver into the filling and drizzle with additional honey before serving.Wicked delicious! ]]> http://blip.tv/file/493433 Food & Drink freshtopia food freshtopia.net vegetarian vegan raw food environment green 0081 figs macadamia honey pecans Tue, 20 Nov 2007 01:50:21 +0000 freshtopia, food, freshtopia.net, vegetarian, vegan, raw food, environment, green, 0081, figs, macadamia, honey, pecans http://a.images.blip.tv/Freshtopia-0081MacadamiaStuffedFigs126.jpg freshtopia, food, freshtopia.net, vegetarian, vegan, raw food, environment, green, 0081, figs, macadamia, honey, pecans ]]> #0081 - Macadamia-Stuffed Figs http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/ 3552B282-970A-11DC-BD33-856A916AC602 http://blip.tv/freshtopianet/0080-sparkle-motion-498811 freshtopia 16469 freshtopia freshtopianet Freshtopia.net http://blip.tv/freshtopianet http://a.images.blip.tv/user_photo_freshtopia583-710.jpg 498811 493425 file TV-UN 0.0 2007-11-20T01:45:01Z English Food/Drink,HowTo/DIY/Tutorial 0 1 0 6 Food & Drink 1 528 AZ65XwI http://blip.tv/play/AZ65XwI http://blip.tv/comments/?attached_to=post498811&skin=rss Freshtopia-0080SparkleMotion730.jpg http://a.images.blip.tv/Freshtopia-0080SparkleMotion730-318.jpg Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.0
Never doubt our commitment to sparkle motion!Our house had a problem; we all loved sparkling water, but hated the wasteful plastic packaging and crazy cost. Americans drink more than 55 billion liters of soda and seltzer every year, which means over 3 billion cubic feet of packaging ends up in recycling facilities or worse, landfills! We were determined not to be those consumers any more.After doing some research, Barb determined that the answer to our sparkling dreams was a home carbonating unit with reusable bottles… and also that there's some sort of inexplicable connection between sparkling water and yachts. For more information on our Edition One soda machine, visit SodaClub.Even if you don't have a yacht, why not celebrate the blushing finale of peach season with a fresh white peach Bellini? White Peach Bellini:Serves 2-41 large white peachJuice of 1/2 lemon2-3 raspberries, plus additional for garnishAgave to tasteSparkling water Remove the pit and chop the peach, then blend until smooth along with the lemon juice, raspberries and sweetener if using.

Maybe I just fell for the wrong one, but the romance came to an abrupt end when I came to my senses and read the label. Hydrogenated soybean oil? High fructose corn syrup? Sodium benzoate? No thanks.Years later I’m working the issues out and rekindling the love, this time with healthy raw coconut fat, (and here), and sweet, sweet agave syrup. And what better vehicle than some of the delicious white peaches which are so very in season right now? Aromatic arugula and fennel make a simple salad that stands out!

We're back in the kitchen again, turning up the heat on raw foods with South of the Border Tomatillo Rawvioli! I wanted to do a dish that showcased the delightful flavor of tomatillos, the husky green cousin of the tomato. The resulting creation is a lively celebration of Mexican-inspired flavor, beauty and nutrition that's the perfect antidote to the summertime dinner blahs! Why sift through yet another boring pile of the same old greens, or clog your arteries with yet another helping of mayo-drenched macaroni salad, when you could be enjoying a satisfying plate of fresh tomatillo sauce with light cucumber rawvioli filled with rich, spicy cashew filling?This is a rhetorical question.The zappy flavor of the tomatillo is happily married to the smooth creamy richness of avocado, and the whole affair is well-grounded with the earthy taste of cumin. I love this stuff; it tastes so great I can barely remember that it's healthy, raw and vegan! It tastes so great, I can barely remember what I'm doing….Tomatillo Rawvioli:Makes 3 large, or four small servingsZesty Tomatillo Sauce:1 1/2 C tomatillos, chopped1/2 a large avocado1/4C sweet white onion, chopped1/4C cilantro leaves1 clove garlic1/2 a large jalapeno1t cumin1t agave syrup1t stoneground mustardSea salt to tasteOptional 1T olive oil or water to thinKickin' Cashew Ricotta:1C raw cashews, soaked 1hr. and drained1 clove garlicJuice of 1 lemon1T nutritional yeast2t cumin1t chili powderSea salt and fresh black pepper to taste1 medium English cucumber for the wrappersBlend all the tomatillo sauce ingredients in a food processor or blender until smooth, adding additional water or olive oil if necessary.

Scoop about 2t of the filling onto each slice and fold in half. Serve with the tomatillo sauce, and garnish with minced jalapeno or additional cilantro.Delicioso! ]]> http://blip.tv/file/491922 Food & Drink freshtopia food freshtopia.net vegetarian vegan raw environment green 0070 tomatillo ravioli south western Mon, 19 Nov 2007 07:04:03 +0000 freshtopia, food, freshtopia.net, vegetarian, vegan, raw, environment, green, 0070, tomatillo, ravioli, south western http://a.images.blip.tv/Freshtopia-0070SouthOfTheBorderTomatilloRawvioli380.jpg freshtopia, food, freshtopia.net, vegetarian, vegan, raw, environment, green, 0070, tomatillo, ravioli, south western ]]> #0070 - South of the Border Tomatillo Rawvioli http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/ 0A75CC60-965C-11DC-90C9-A9C1EF267B18 http://blip.tv/freshtopianet/0069-watermelon-grrrranitas-497131 freshtopia 16469 freshtopia freshtopianet Freshtopia.net http://blip.tv/freshtopianet http://a.images.blip.tv/user_photo_freshtopia583-710.jpg 497131 491753 file TV-UN 0.0 2007-11-19T04:58:17Z English Food/Drink,HowTo/DIY/Tutorial 0 1 0 6 Food & Drink 1 609 AZ6sTwI http://blip.tv/play/AZ6sTwI http://blip.tv/comments/?attached_to=post497131&skin=rss Freshtopia-0069WatermelonGrrrranitas552.jpg http://a.images.blip.tv/Freshtopia-0069WatermelonGrrrranitas552-823.jpg Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.0
Last weekend while we were at Get Tough or Die Farms (Tanja’s Mom’s house), we were introduced to a new summer dessert. In Sacramento the mid-day temperature can get brutal by this time of year, and one day while we were all sitting outside sweltering, Melissa brought out a round of Watermelon Granitas for all of us. I was wowed, had two, and hinted for Tanja to use her familial leverage to get the scoop on the dish. This is surprisingly easy for a dessert that packs such a potent refreshment quotient, and with so little sweetener needed, it’s shockingly guilt-free as well.Watermelon Granitas:4 Cups watermelon, choppedJuice of 1 limePinch of sea salt1-2 Tbspns agave nectar, or to tasteMakes 4-6 servingsBlend all ingredients together until smooth, about 20 seconds. Pour into shallow pan and place in freezer 3-4 hours, stirring occasionally until frozen. To serve, scrape ice crystals with a spoon or fork into serving glass, garnish with mint leaves or basil.This site has a few fun granita recipes we’d like to try out soon. Consider substituting the sugar with agave syrup for a lower glycemic punch. A quick search for “granitas” will turn up many more recipes.

We spent the weekend at the Get Tough or Die Farm. AKA: Tanja’s mother’s house. When neighborhood cats and children aren’t disappearing in the “Tomato Triangle,” they’re dodging the assault of the trained attack rabbits, and let’s not even mention the sunflowers. It was a most relaxing weekend, filled with fantastical danger, intrigue, permaculture, Melissa’s artwork, and the most gorgeous home-grown produce we’ve enjoyed in recent memory. We started each morning with a trip to the garden where we picked fresh vegetables and fruit for breakfast, which we then ate on the garden patio. Saturday’s breakfast conversation turned to the luxury of garden grown-produce, and just how striking the taste difference between that and even [merely] local organic foods. There really is something powerful in produce less than 24hrs off the vine. Alas, not everyone can be so lucky though, if you don’t have a garden or access to one, consider joining a CSA. Or better, make friends with someone who does have a garden.Read: ‘Will videograph for food”Melissa and Patrick were kind enough to share some of their resources with us:Seeds of Change is great source for certified organic seeds, as well as information on backyard gardening.For the strawberry lover, check out Strawberries and MoreThe Gardeners Network provides a nice overview of organic alternatives to conventional garden treatments.

Believe us when we say, no chickens were hurt in the making of this episode. Our friends Raven, Baxter and Adesina have made the leap from avid backyard gardeners, to avid backyard chicken enthusiasts! Though their motivation for getting into the chicken-caper was pretty solidly egg-based, the love they have for their new feathered friends is readily apparent. Wondering why normal city-folk would go to the trouble to raise their own egg-laying hens? If you have a strong stomach you could just google “factory farms chickens”, for a wealth of links. This makes it abundantly clear why our friends really want to know how the chickens they get eggs from are being treated. Diet is a complex and personal issue. We’re not saying that eating eggs is right or wrong, but it is definitely something that shouldn’t be done without awareness…or salsa and lots of fresh vegatables. ]]> http://blip.tv/file/491624 The Environment freshtopia food freshtopia.net vegetarian vegan raw environment green 0067 chickens urban sustainability Mon, 19 Nov 2007 04:04:38 +0000 freshtopia, food, freshtopia.net, vegetarian, vegan, raw, environment, green, 0067, chickens, urban, sustainability http://a.images.blip.tv/Freshtopia-0067DrCarmelJonesCo292.jpg freshtopia, food, freshtopia.net, vegetarian, vegan, raw, environment, green, 0067, chickens, urban, sustainability ]]> #0067 - Dr. Carmel Jones & Co. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/ 9305A824-964E-11DC-A116-E6EBD149FFF7 http://blip.tv/freshtopianet/0066-road-food-496952 freshtopia 16469 freshtopia freshtopianet Freshtopia.net http://blip.tv/freshtopianet http://a.images.blip.tv/user_photo_freshtopia583-710.jpg 496952 491575 file TV-UN 0.0 2007-11-19T03:21:53Z English Food/Drink,HowTo/DIY/Tutorial 0 1 0 6 Food & Drink 1 680 AZ6rHAI http://blip.tv/play/AZ6rHAI http://blip.tv/comments/?attached_to=post496952&skin=rss Freshtopia-0066RoadFood980.jpg http://a.images.blip.tv/Freshtopia-0066RoadFood980-479.jpg Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.0

As fate would have it, our Freshtopia kitchen got a mini-makeover featuring Ikea furnishings courtesy of the show Dream Home with the lovely host Lisa Quinn! It’s now super organized and has some nice new accoutrements that we’re perhaps a little too stoked about… Today’s recipe is inspired by Palak Paneer, a delicious Indian spinach dish, and it’s full of flavor and nutrition. Tanja has so much energy from all those healthy greens, she can’t stop dancing, no matter how much you might wish otherwise! Big thanks to Dream Home, Lisa Quinn, and Ikea. Also, a special thanks to Jonathan Coulton for the use of his hilariously awesome song “Ikea.” Visit his website to lavish praise, cash, and half-pony half-monkey monster dolls on him.Cilantro-Curry Spinach:Serves 2 as entrée, 4 as side dishLarge bunch spinach (about 4C tightly packed)1 Avocado, cubedSauce:1 bunch cilantro leaves (about 1 1/2C packed)1/2C chopped tomato4 sun-dried tomato halves, soaked in 1C filtered water1/4C olive oil, plus 1T for spinach2T onion, chopped1T ginger root, peeled and mincedSmall clove garlic, minced½ jalapeno, deseeded and chopped1T cumin1Tcoriander1T curry powder1t raw honey or agave syrupSea salt to tasteGround cashews to garnishSoak the sun-dried tomatoes in the water until they are quite soft, (about 30 minutes) and reserve the soak water.

Despite dire warnings that they may be disappearing, bees just seem like they’re everywhere lately, from the news to our neighbor’s chimney. Freshtopia went on a field trip to learn more about the secret lives of these busy little critters. Peter Sinton of the San Francisco Beekeepers’ Association was kind enough to give us the inside story. Keeping bees is a great way to keep your garden beautiful and healthy, as well as keep some honey on the table (if you’re OK with that). It’s an interesting hobby with a long history, and it’s easier than you might think! For all the information you need to get started, go to the San Francisco Beekeepers’ Association website. ]]> http://blip.tv/file/490253 Default Category freshtopia food freshtopia.net vegetarian vegan raw environment green bees honey Sun, 18 Nov 2007 07:26:26 +0000 freshtopia, food, freshtopia.net, vegetarian, vegan, raw, environment, green, bees, honey http://a.images.blip.tv/Freshtopia-0057BeesPtI714.jpg freshtopia, food, freshtopia.net, vegetarian, vegan, raw, environment, green, bees, honey ]]> #0057 - Bees! pt I http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/ C977B144-955A-11DC-BCB7-AE80A760F7EC http://blip.tv/freshtopianet/0056-behold-the-perfect-taco-494994 freshtopia 16469 freshtopia freshtopianet Freshtopia.net http://blip.tv/freshtopianet http://a.images.blip.tv/user_photo_freshtopia583-710.jpg 494994 489614 file TV-UN 0.0 2007-11-17T22:16:47Z English Food/Drink,HowTo/DIY/Tutorial 0 1 0 6 Food & Drink 1 436 AZ6bdgI http://blip.tv/play/AZ6bdgI http://blip.tv/comments/?attached_to=post494994&skin=rss Freshtopia-0056BeholdThePerfectTaco689.jpg http://a.images.blip.tv/Freshtopia-0056BeholdThePerfectTaco689-639.jpg Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.0

Tired of chasing the Good Humor truck? Gotta get that ice cream monkey off your back? Here’s an ice cream with all the things we love: creaminess, beautiful flavors, and sweet surrender, without the things that don’t necessarily love us back, like dairy and white sugar!This whole thing was inspired by the brilliant food blog, Raw Food, Right Now, by Heidi and Justin S. Ohlander. If you truly want to be a master of the raw ice cream, you simply must sign up for Heidi and Justin’s free e-course! Go to Raw Food, Right Now for the deets.

Process mixture in ice cream maker according to your model's instructions, we're using Cuisinart's ICE-25.

Blend again and strain out petal and seed debris if desired.Other variations seen on today’s show: Saffron-Rose:warm the 2C filtered water and infuse pinch of saffron in it for about 1 hour.

Add 1C chopped cherries and 1/3 C raw cacao nibs to the mixture as you process it in your ice cream machine.Macadamia Vanilla:substitute ½ C macadamia nuts for ½ C of the cashews and add an extra teaspoon of vanilla extract.Taste the joy! ]]> http://blip.tv/file/489524 Default Category freshtopia food freshtopia.net vegetarian vegan raw environment green desert icecream music Sat, 17 Nov 2007 21:00:44 +0000 freshtopia, food, freshtopia.net, vegetarian, vegan, raw, environment, green, desert, icecream, music http://a.images.blip.tv/Freshtopia-0055VeganIcecream324.jpg freshtopia, food, freshtopia.net, vegetarian, vegan, raw, environment, green, desert, icecream, music ]]> #0055 - Vegan Icecream! http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/ 9EED8C36-954C-11DC-AD28-CAD550A17E23 http://blip.tv/freshtopianet/0054-the-great-tomato-caper-pt-i-494880 freshtopia 16469 freshtopia freshtopianet Freshtopia.net http://blip.tv/freshtopianet http://a.images.blip.tv/user_photo_freshtopia583-710.jpg 494880 489500 file TV-UN 0.0 2007-11-17T20:35:23Z English Food/Drink,HowTo/DIY/Tutorial 0 1 0 6 Food & Drink 1 594 AZ6bBAI http://blip.tv/play/AZ6bBAI http://blip.tv/comments/?attached_to=post494880&skin=rss Freshtopia-0054TheGreatTomatoCaperPtI377.jpg http://a.images.blip.tv/Freshtopia-0054TheGreatTomatoCaperPtI377-637.jpg Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.0
Welcome to the Freshtopian Garden! Tanja has a longstanding obsession with sun-dried heirloom tomatoes, and she's finally taking action! Barb Finnin, Freshtopia.net's resident Master Composter and garden guru shows us how to plant our new tomato starts, and dishes the dirt on soil health. Welcome to the first installment of The Great Tomato Caper!Further resources for this episode, via Freshtopia's own resident permaculturist and Master Composter, Barb Finnin:Soil pH:Soil pH is an indication of the acidity or alkalinity of soil. The pH scale goes from 0 to 14 with pH 7 as the ideal neutral point. A soil's pH will determine how much nutrients a plant can absorb and what type of organisms live in the soil. Typical plants that you would grow in your garden like a pH near 7. The tomatoes that we're planting can thrive in a pH of 5.5-7. There is a ton of information on the web related to soil pH and on remediating soil that is too acidic or too base. This is a good place to get started, or stop by your neighborhood garden supply center. Compost:We're a little obsessed about compost at Freshtopia.net and you'll hear us talk about it a lot. Compost is the perfect fertilizer and soil builder. . .and it is free if you compost at home! To learn how to compost with worms, or vermicomposting, check out our episode "The Worm Wranglers". We'll be doing an episode on basic composting in the near future, but for now check out our friends at Stopwaste.org for more information. Selecting Plants to Grow:The best way to choose plants to grow is to go to your local garden store/farmer's market and ask what folks recommend for your area. This is a fertile topic and plenty of people will give you lots of advise. Two of my favorite books for plant selection in the Bay Area are "Golden Gate Gardening" by Pam Pierce and "Western Garden Book" by Sunset Editors. Container Gardening:If you don't have a yard, you can still grow your own food! You can use containers in-doors, on a balcony/patio, in a window box, or a roof top. You can get really creative with the container, like using old shoes or old discarded kitchen pots. Plants in containers tend to dry out faster then ones in the ground, so be sure to check the moisture content frequently. For more information on container gardening, check out www.containergardeningtips.com. Books on Gardening:There is a bounty of books out there on gardening. Don't let reading every single detail about the process delay the start of your garden. I got so intimidated by all the things to know that it took me years to just plant some basil. The book that got me going was "You Grow Girl" by Gayla Trail... I love this book! It's great for the first time gardener who needs a little motivation and simple steps to start. For those of you that want all the details and a library of books, check out the Rodale Institute.If you have any questions about today's episode, send them to info at freshtopia dot net, with the title "The Great Tomato Caper". The most important thing to take from today's show is, try it yourself. Again, try it yourself. We're not experts and you don't have to be either! Sink or swim you're bound to learn a little something, and you may just have some fun and end up with some nice produce in the process.Enjoy, and let us know how it goes! ]]> http://blip.tv/file/489500 Food & Drink freshtopia food freshtopia.net vegetarian vegan raw environment green 0054 tomatoes garden gardening caper Sat, 17 Nov 2007 20:35:23 +0000 freshtopia, food, freshtopia.net, vegetarian, vegan, raw, environment, green, 0054, tomatoes, garden, gardening, caper http://a.images.blip.tv/Freshtopia-0054TheGreatTomatoCaperPtI377.jpg freshtopia, food, freshtopia.net, vegetarian, vegan, raw, environment, green, 0054, tomatoes, garden, gardening, caper ]]> #0054 - The Great Tomato Caper pt I http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/ BEFBDDDE-9542-11DC-9F67-BD6959073446 http://blip.tv/freshtopianet/0053-lemony-spinach-dip-494793 freshtopia 16469 freshtopia freshtopianet Freshtopia.net http://blip.tv/freshtopianet http://a.images.blip.tv/user_photo_freshtopia583-710.jpg 494793 489413 file TV-UN 0.0 2007-11-17T19:24:41Z English Food/Drink,HowTo/DIY/Tutorial 0 1 0 6 Food & Drink 1 375 AZ6aLQI http://blip.tv/play/AZ6aLQI http://blip.tv/comments/?attached_to=post494793&skin=rss Freshtopia-0053LemonySpinachDip938.jpg http://a.images.blip.tv/Freshtopia-0053LemonySpinachDip938-897.jpg Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.0

Some recipes are so good they require their own banner graphic.Inspired by our new friends in Luarca Spain, Tanja tried her hand at creating a raw analog to the favorite Spanish national dish, Paella. I must say, her star is really shining in this one. The dish ended up a bright, colorful celebration of fresh ingredients, honoring the spirit of Paella. Now, lest we lead you astray, it’s clearly a large departure from the traditional dish, but it is a healthy departure harboring a wide range of nutrient-rich power foods. It’s actually not as much work as the rather lengthy ingredient list implies, and well worth the effort. This one is good the next day as well, perhaps even better as the saffron continues to infuse the dish with flavor for up to 24 hours.

We're back at long last with an all new show, and what a show it is!You know carrots are great for your eyes (your mom wasn't just saying that to make you eat 'em), but did you know this familiar vegetable has a history even more colorful than its nutrient-packed flesh? Did you know carrots weren't always orange? Did you know the ancient Greeks made love potions from them? Stranger than fiction is the long history of the carrot.Passion, patriotism, beta carotene… from windmills to Caligula, this episode has it all! Special thanks to illustrator Hyein Lee, for letting us use her wonderful illustrations in today's show.

So here it is, the third, and what will prove to be the last, installment of Freshtopia.net's mid-move reporting. Finally we're all moving in, and the new studio is shaping up nicely.Monday we'll be starting our new season of freshtopia.net, and there are many changes coming along with it. We'll be updating three times per week from our new studio home, and in future episodes we will introduce you to some new faces, show you around the new place, and let you in on all the exciting things that have been going on behind the scenes the last few weeks. In the jeers department, the impending event that we announced last episode has sadly, been postponed. Fate has intervened, and the Freshtopia.net redebut party will have to be pushed back a couple weeks, sorry for the mix-up. However, there should be plenty of good news coming up in the near future to tide you over, while we go pick up the party hats and kazoos. Tune in Monday, we'll let you know what all the hub bub is about.

There is much afoot.With less than a week to pack, Tanja and I will soon be saying goodbye to our home sweet factory, and heading for new digs better suited to the videographer lifestyle (read: more than 17' away from BART). This move is step one in a series of upcoming changes that we think y'all will like. Alas, we're not at liberty to divulge details just yet, but suffice to say you'll be seeing some exciting improvements coming in the near future.Through the process we won't have time to make full episodes, but we will be checking in regularly (Mondays) to give you updates, beg for clemency, and ask to borrow your biodiesel pickup. It could take a week or two, maybe even three, but when we're back we'll be faster, stronger, better.This would be the perfect occasion to check out our Browse Shows page if you haven't dropped in yet, we're starting to build a respectable inventory of recipes and green segments.

A little late for Christmas, but just in time for boxing day and kwanzaa.A quick note to wish all of you a very happy holiday!We had only barely recovered from Tanja's birthday, and already we find ourselves on the party wagon again. I begged Tanja to put together on of her famous chocolate tarts for the trip home to see family and friends for Christmas, and she kindly acquiesced.For reasons that escape imagination, we have never actually made this one for the show before. It's is an intense cocoa blast; rich, punchy, and not for chocolate fence-sitters. We're putting together a 10 inch tart, which is enough for 8-12 people believe it or not.Chocolate Tart:Filling:2 Cups raw cocoa powder (see episode #0005 for details)2 Cups maple syrup 1 Cup coconut butterdash sea saltCrust:2 Cups walnuts1/2 Cup agave syrup1/2 Cup cocoa nibs (see episode #0005 for details)1 tspn. vanilla extract1/4 tspn. saltOn a differnent note, be sure to check out the new "Browse Shows" page and let us know what you think. We're hoping that it makes the process of finding and referencing past episodes much easier. Comments and suggestions welcome.And, if any of our new friends in Pago Pago have pictures or stories about your home sweet island, we'd love to see them. Just email us through the contact page and we can arrange for a place to send the pictures.Lastly, if you're feeling drunk with Xmas spirit, consider clicking on the donate button on the top right of the page.

mmmmmm...nog.I was surprised to learn that cashews actually have less fat, when compared to many of its nut-cousins, as well as a healthy dose of nerve-soothing copper. Mmmm...copper. For the scoop on all the fine thing cashews have to offer, check out WHfoods.org. Give this non-dairy egg nog analog a shot some time this holiday season, I was pleasantly surprised and impressed by it. It has the comfort-food benefits of traditional nog, but without the heaviness that the dairy/sugar combo can often induce. Freshtopian Analog Nog:1 cup water1/3 cup soaked cashews1 tspn nutritional yeast3/4 tspn vanilla extractdash cinnamon +dash mace4 tspn agave nectar1 tspn coconut butterpinch saltBlend, blend, blend in your most powerful blender. Once the nog is smooth, you may want to strain the remaining cashew nibs out with a fine strainer or cheese cloth. After straining, I recomend adding it back to the blender for one last pummeling before serving. Makes 4 1-cup servingsQuickTime 7 Player - download here free.Subscribe!

At a cost of $10-$20 per bulb, some people may think you mad for choosing compact flourescents (CFLs) over conventional $0.50 incandescent lights. Tell them to do the math.September's issue of Business 2.0 tells us that industry giant Adobe Software recently spent $11,000 upgrading all of the lights in its San Jose HQ to CFLs. Yes, 11k sounds like a lot, but with anticipated annual electricity savings in excess of $105,000, this stands as yet another example of how going green can save you green.For more details on how CFLs can amount to major savings, check out this article on Repp.org.For information on the mercury content of CFLs vs. mercury emissions contributed to incandescent lighting, take a look at this article from treehugger. Yes, CFLs contain small amounts of mercury, that's why it's especially important to recycle them in an appropriate facility. Earth911.org is an excellent resource for locating a variety of recycling programs in your area.QuickTime 7 Player - download here freeSubscribe!

Prepare yourself for the Freshtopian Fixtini! Last week Daniel McVicar, host of the Late Night Mash, gave us a call because he needed a little help. He'd had a late night of chasing pink elephants, and wasn't feeling so great the next morning. In no time flat Tanja had whipped up this post-party ambrosia. It's reasonably easy, and you may just have the ingredients lying around the house. With the winter and the holidays around the corner, this might be a good one to pay attention to; it's not only good for hangovers, it fights colds and indigestion as well. For that matter, whip a couple up at your next dinner party - I've been having about two a day for the last week!- OscarAll you'll need is:Juice of one lemonone finger of ginger2 Tablespoons maple syrupdash cayenne pepper1/3 cup watericecocktail shaker or jar with tight fitting lidView with QuickTime 7 Player - download here freeSubscribe in iTunes or Fireant!

Let us know what you like, and what you dont; let us know what you would like to see more or less of.There's so much to tell, I'm afraid we won't be able to cram it all in to today's episode. We met so many welcoming, enthusiastic, ambitious people at The Vloggies that we'd like to tell you about, but it'll have to wait for the next episode I'm afraid. Many great conversations were had about the nature of this new medium, about it's strengths and weaknesses, and I'm still in the process of deciding how much of it I want to bore you with. In the mean time, with today's episode we've tried to give our new viewers a cross section of the kinds of things they can expect in the future. Tanja has been making "apple chowder" for breakfast for months now, and finally we are getting around to share the recipe with you.

Celebrated by pagans, and acknowledged by the calendar as the first day of autumn, the equinox is a bittersweet time for us here at freshtopia. While we love each season in its own special way, summer has so much wonderful produce we miss during the colder months. Especially tomatoes.Sure tomatoes are around all year thanks to imports and greenhouses, but they are pale, mealy shadows of the glory of heirloom tomatoes in season! We bid a fond farewell to tomatoes for the year with a fabulous raw tomato soup that will linger in your memory even after we've all moved on to things like hard squashes...mmm.

Kristie and Rick Knoll were generous with their time and information, and their farm is a verdant wonderland full of beautiful plants and trees. "Tairwa" is the name they coined for their produce, from the french word terroir meaning "the essence of place." The essence of this farm is surely its lovingly cultivated soil, which imbues their crops with a uniquely delicious flavor. Devoted to keeping their commerce local, Tairwa produce is scarcely available outside the Bay Area, but if you find yourself in San Francisco on a Saturday morning, definitely stop by the Ferry Plaza farmer's market to get some of their exquisite figs, herbs, flowers, tomatoes and greens! ]]> http://blip.tv/file/73308 Default Category biodynamics agriculture knoll freshtopia organic microbes food farm Wed, 13 Sep 2006 10:59:32 +0000 biodynamics, agriculture, knoll, freshtopia, organic, microbes, food, farm http://a.images.blip.tv/Freshtopia-0024KnollFarmsPtII569.jpg biodynamics, agriculture, knoll, freshtopia, organic, microbes, food, farm ]]> #0024 - Knoll Farms - Pt II http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/ 46E531E4-419F-11DB-A474-F1C5DFA78211 http://blip.tv/freshtopianet/0023-knoll-farms-pt-i-75953 freshtopia 16469 freshtopia freshtopianet Freshtopia.net http://blip.tv/freshtopianet http://a.images.blip.tv/user_photo_freshtopia583-710.jpg 75953 72583 file TV-UN 0.0 2006-09-11T14:10:28Z English Food/Drink,HowTo/DIY/Tutorial 0 1 0 6 Food & Drink 1 293 AYTSFQI http://blip.tv/play/AYTSFQI http://blip.tv/comments/?attached_to=post75953&skin=rss Freshtopia-0023KnollFarmsPtI459.jpg http://a.images.blip.tv/Freshtopia-0023KnollFarmsPtI459-990.jpg Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.0

The biographical short on Dr. Johannes Geiss that we've been putting together has been eating up all of our time the last several days. That said, it's coming along nicely. It will be finished this weekend, and we'll be back on schedule Monday with our show on Knoll Farms and a full blog set. Incidentally, Swiss physicist Johannes Geiss is the chap responsible for the first experiment on the moon.
