Thank you guys for being so unbelievably smart. I was away this weekend, but I returned to find commentary and discussion in the comments section of my last post that blew my mind. I’m always impressed by the caliber of your conversations, but this dialogue was a particular winner.
One of the last comments I got [...]

Horizons Restaurant, Philadelphia
Food and Philosophy at SproutCraft Cafe
As a raw vegan, I’m lucky to live in a city that boasts of not one, but many restaurants that specialize in the kind of food I love to eat. Most of you know my favorites by now: Pure Food and Wine, Bonobos, Quintessence, Caravan of Dreams. Prepare yourselves for a new addition to that [...]
Dinner with Kristen at Blossom, Chocolate Parties, and More
Happy Monday, all!
Last night I had the pleasure of dinner at Cafe Blossom with the very awesome Kristen and her husband, Greg. Kristen and Greg are in town for an extended visit (you can read all about their meals and adventures on Kristen’s blog). As you know, I’ve been a fan of Kristen’s blog, e-books, [...]
Birthday Dinner at Candle 79
Everyone,
A quick, somewhat sleepy post to thank you all for the tremendous outpouring of sweet birthday wishes today. I am so lucky to have been in your thoughts! Thank you, thank you.
I hope you’re not tired of restaurant food porn yet: I have yet another fine birthday meal to share with you! This one was [...]
Pre-Bday Celebration at Pure
Happy Sunday!
As promised, I’m here with a full recap of what was a lovely pre-birthday celebration yesterday: first, a juice date with my buddy Kristen, and then a full blown dinner extravaganza at Pure!

Two Special Meals
Hey all!
Hope you’re enjoying great weekends. I’m here with a quick post to report on two lovely memorial day meals. The first was an NYC blogger lunch yesterday afternoon. Gina, aka the Fitnessista, was here in NYC for a visit, and I was lucky enough to meet her and a few other bloggers for lunch [...]
Question of the Week: Fruit and Sweeteners
I’m always impressed by the confluence of reader questions. Last week, reader Ally wrote in with the following:
Hi Gena! I’m curious about two things and I would be really grateful if you’d answer them for me!
1) Do you personally limit your intake of sweeteners such as agave and dates? and if so, why?
2) Why don’t [...]
Spicy Thai Salad, and My First Raw Giveaway!
Tonight’s dinner was inspired by Tuesday’s lunch. On Tuesday, in unseasonably sweltering heat, I met my lovely friend Alina—a fellow raw foods coach—at Caravan of Dreams, which is a vegan lunch spot tucked away on 6th street.
I like Caravan because it has equally extensive raw and cooked menus; it’s all tasty, and it’s easy for [...]
A Quick Ladies Lunch on Earth Day
Hi all,
So glad you enjoyed the pasta recipe!
I don’t have much time to post today, but I did want to wish you a very happy Earth Day! I’ll have more to say about this special occasion in tomorrow’s post, but I hope everyone is doing something special to commemorate it.
If my last post was all [...]

First of all, thank you so much for the many incredible comments you all left me yesterday. I can’t tell you how much they meant to me. My celebration was so much richer because of all the support I got from all of you. To the women who’ve emailed me about quitting, and to those [...]
