There's a first time for everything

It's been a while since I first discovered blogs and have been a frequent reader of many interesting ones for quite some time now. Ever since I began reading them regularly, the thought of starting one of my own has gone through my head. So much so, that I finally just had to sign up. Mostly I've been interested in food blogs, but lately solely in ones that write about raw foods. Now I think I've reached a point on my raw food journey, that I'm ready to share my own ideas and recipes with others.

I'm not quite sure where this is going, but right now I (nor the rest of the family) am not 100% raw. I feel like we will never go to the full extreme, but then again a while back I could have sworn we wouldn't go this far. The importance of vitamin B12 and my unwillingness to go on supplements means we still consume fish, other seafood and some eggs. I don't object to chicken or turkey either, if it were possible to buy some organic and free-range. Unfortunately, living in Finland, these are not too readily available. I'm gluten-sensitive and lactose-intolerant, which is reflected in the way I (un-)cook. As much as I dislike labeling and find that my diet doesn't quite fit in any box, maybe someone may like to call this way of eating non-dairy-gluten-free-almost-raw-pesco-ovo-vegetarian. Lovely, huh?

Anyhow, I soon hope to fill this blog with beautiful (I'll try!) photos of my own original recipes and versions of pre-existing ones. Feel free to comment and speak your mind, either in finnish or english. As a matter of fact, even german and swedish will do if you don't expect me to reply flawlessly.
