Pink Gift Bar Collection

Pink Gift Bar Collection

Whether your mum loves cacao, eats raw, likes pretty packaging, avoids dairy or sugar, prefers to put natural things in her body or just loves delicious chocolate, she’s bound to adore Rawr’s raw chocolate gift collections.

The Pink Collection is perfect for girly girls, with the addition of an Innocence bar for those who like their chocolate less dark.

The Dark Collection is great for those mums who like exactly the opposite!

If you want to show her how much she means to you the Love Collection is ideal, or if you want to combine holidays order an Easter Egg box!

All collections come ribbon-wrapped with a recycled card tag, plus you can add a gift message at checkout and have the option of delivery straight to mum.

Order by midday on Thursday 11th March for delivery by the 14th.

Solid Raw Chocolate Egg

Easter is fast-approaching, and Rawr’s chocolate Easter eggs are almost ready. Probably one of the most original Easter gifts you’ll see this year, and possibly the only raw chocolate eggs in the UK! They were a massive hit last year, and are now available for pre-order.

Incredibly cute blue recycled egg boxes packed with multi-coloured, foil-wrapped, raw chocolate Easter eggs.

Four solid 70g eggs (that’s a satisfyingly chunky amount of chocolate!) in After Dinner mint, orange Zest, and dark Purity.

Raw, refined sugar free, vegan, fully recycled and recyclable packaging, and stacks of originality and fun!

Recipe: Raw Coleslaw
Feb 18th, 2010 by Kendra

Raw Coleslaw

Raw Coleslaw

Summary: I created this recipe from a mish-mash of other coleslaw recipes, as a way of using up the excess of cabbage in our fridge! Sweet and creamy.

Ingredients

  • small red cabbage
  • 4 large carrots
  • 1/2 an onion
  • 2 cups cashews
  • 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tbsp yacon syrup OR 5 dates

Instructions

  1. Roughly chop the cabbage, carrots and onion and pulse them in a food processor until you have the required coleslaw texture. Pour the chopped veg into a large bowl.
  2. Rinse the food processor. Process the cashews until ground to a powder.
  3. Add the water a little at a time (1 cup is approximate, you may want more or less).
  4. Add the vinegar, salt and yacon syrup or dates to taste and continue to process.
  5. Mix the mayo with the chopped vegetables and serve! Refrigerate what you don’t eat.

Preparation time: 15 mins

Number of servings: 8

Recipe: Raw Pancakes with Cinnamon Apple Sauce
Feb 16th, 2010 by Kendra

Raw Pancakes

Raw Pancakes

Summary: There are numerous raw pancake recipes out there, so raw fooders needn’t miss out on Shrove Tuesday. Last year I made pancakes from ‘Ani’s Raw Food Kitchen’, this year I borrowed a recipe from Charlie Lagoa’s newsletter. As you can see from the picture, mine didn’t come out looking too attractive (or very pancake-like!), but they tasted fab.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup ground flax seed
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup ground almonds
  • 8 dates
  • 2 apples
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Process the flax seed, almonds, water and 4 of the dates in a food processor.
  2. Spread on teflexx sheets to 1cm thickness, in circular pancake shapes.
  3. Dehydrate at 115 F for 10 hours.
  4. Before removing from the dehydrator, make the apple sauce by processing the apples, 4 dates and the cinnamon together.
  5. Serve the pancakes with the apple sauce on the side (and any chopped fruit you fancy – bananas work well). For a more traditional pancake taste you could go with raw ice-cream, broken pieces of Rawr chocolate, or a combination of lemon juice and agave.

Serves 2.

Recipe: Raw Carob Carrot Cake
Feb 15th, 2010 by Kendra

Raw Carrot Pulp Carrot Cake

Summary: This is a great use for the pulp left over from juicing carrots. The original recipe can be found in Jeremy Safron’s book ‘The Raw Truth’; I’ve adapted it here. Makes a large cake – pictured is an individual portion, not the whole thing! Really tasty and filling, and not excessively sweet.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup soaked almonds
  • 2 cups soaked dates
  • 3 cups carrot pulp
  • 2 cups dry walnuts
  • 2 cups dry sunflower seeds
  • 1 cup dessicated coconut
  • 1 cup raw carob powder
  • 6 dates, soaked
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup soaked cashews

Instructions

  1. Process the walnuts and sunflower seeds in a food processor. Put in a large mixing bowl and add the carob and coconut.
  2. Process the almonds to a powder, then add the dates and continue processing. Put in a second mixing bowl, and mix in the carrot pulp.
  3. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet, mixing well with your hands or a spoon.
  4. Press the resulting cake base into a cake tin or large bowl.
  5. Process the cashews, then add the 6 dates and water to make the cake topping. Pour over the base.
  6. Refrigerate what you don’t eat straightaway.

Preparation time: 20 mins

Number of servings: 12 (makes  a big cake!)

Meal type: dessert

Rawr Valentines Gifts
Jan 28th, 2010 by Kendra
Rawr Love Collection

Rawr Love Collection

Chocolate is one of the most traditional Valentines gifts and one that will always be appreciated by the receiver. It’s easy to see why: it tastes great, is a sensual experience to eat, and its endorphins make you feel great!

Giving chocolate is hardly a new tradition: it’s been given as a gift since Aztec times. Those Aztecs knew a thing of two about the link between chocolate and passion, considering it to elevate sexual power, and drinking cocoa at wedding ceremonies (following in their footsteps, Rawr has recently had their first wedding favours order).

Yet when most people give Valentines chocolate, they end up giving a load of refined sugar, emulsifiers, hydrogenated oils and generally unnatural ingredients to their loved one, plus a sugar crash post-consumption, and probably some guilty thoughts about wobbly thighs/bums/tummies. Not so sexy. With Rawr, you can be guaranteed, as always, a delicious, quality, high-cacao chocolate without any of the nasties.

If you’re looking for the ideal gift grab a bar or two of Rawr Passion (the heart-themed wrapper says it all), or even better, the Love Collection: 4 of our best-selling large bars (including Passion), wrapped with red organza ribbon and finished with a recycled card ‘Love’ label.

Order by midday on Thursday 11th February to ensure delivery for the big day.
