Raw Strawberry Pie à la Jónsi & Alex

Jonsi & Alex! The boys have created a free cookbook with delicious (raw) recipes! Since Sigur Ros is one of my favorite bands, I wanted to check out Jonsi's new project with Alex; including their website jonsiandalex.com, they also have an album of atmospheric music entitled "Riceboy Sleeps." As if this wasn't enough to tackle, they also make art, which is viewable on the site. Look out for Jonsi's solo album coming out in March & keep updated through his twitter!

Now, about the video: I've read Sarma Melngailis's (founder of Pure Food & Wine in NYC) "Living Raw" book and wasn't that inspired to make the recipes from the book. Green algae, cocao powder, and the pain of dehydrating kind of turned me off of making raw food. Salads and other foods that are meant to be raw, such as gazpacho are still do-able for me, but I'm not going to become a "raw-foodist" any time soon (heck, even Sarma herself doesn't categorize herself). Thankfully Jonsi & Alex have created some easy, healthy, raw recipes that aren't such a pain in the butt and time consuming:check out the pdf of their Healthy Heart cookbook at their site!

This tutorial features the Jonsi & Alex making a surprisingly easy raw vegan strawberry pie. Finally inspired by raw again!
