Fabulous! :) I'm a raw foods chef in Seattle, and find it very exciting to see something with even "semi-raw" in the description here!

When I make the raw hummus for the cafe I chef at I use cumin, tahini, garlic, lemon juice and parsley. I'm really going for a "classic" hummus flavor though. One of the things I love about being a raw chef is that we play with our food a lot, rather than sticking with the conventional way of doing things. I find it rather exciting. :)

Also, have you tried this on slices of jicama? That's my "chip" of choice.

Thanks for the smile and the beautiful photo!

To be a vegan or raw chef would be a dream.
I made it semi-raw as I'm re-embracing the raw lifestyle but I also have a lot of things left over in my fridge that isn't necessarily suitable to give away, but I'd rather not put to waste - i.e. the jar of roasted red peppers and the jar of olives, etc. To attempt to live a raw-vegetarian life-style and waste a bunch of perfectly good food seems hypocritical.

Tell me, as a chef, what are your most used kitchen gadgets (mandolin? food processor?) ?

As a cafe we specifically make food that is more work than the average home chef would like to do. It's how we entice people to come eat our food. :)

So we use knives and cutting boards, dehydrators, and food processors most. Mandolins, Vita-Mixes and spring form pans are a close second.

At home I use my knife and cutting board, food processor and blender most.
