Pousse-Pousse: Raw Restaurant in Paris
After a year and a half in Paris, today I finally visited Pousse-Pousse and my bitter regret at not having gone there long ago is exceeded only by the intense joy I experienced while eating at this Raw oasis in the city. Pousse-Pousse is a small and elegant raw organic vegetarian restaurant. We arrived and…

Bob’s Juice Bar
There are a number of juice bars in town, but unfortunately a lot of them try to get away with pouring you some pasteurized juice from a bottle. If I am going to hit the juice bar, I want them to really get the juice out of some real fruit for me, which is one…

Sunday Recipe: Raw Arugula Soup
Arugula is pretty easy to come by here in Paris. And I think at 14€ a kilo even President Obama would approve! I paid 78 centimes for the organic arugula in this recipe. Arugula is an excellent source of antioxidants, rich in vitamins A and C, folic acid, calcium, manganese, and magnesium. It contains carotenes and…

bio-moi
I was walking up Rue Debelleyme from Rose Bakery when I looked up and saw this big sign. I thought to myself “What could this be? I need to find out right away!” My heart started beating faster like a true grocery store addict and I decided to go in and check it out. Well,…

Buckwheat Crêpes
Oh, it must be so easy to be a vegetarian, wandering around town eating eggy crêpes dripping with cheese or Nutella hot off the steamy grill whenever the fancy takes you. Of course, a vegan can always make her own crêpes, but when you crave a bit more convenience I really recommend the ready-made organic…

Vegan Soaps and Creams
When you eat vegan, you also start thinking about what you’re putting on the outside of your body. After all, your skin is your largest organ. So I am a bit particular about the soap I use. I had heard a lot of good things about the company Lush. It’s absolutely great that they are…
