This recipe comes from the Raw Food Feasts that happen every 3 months at Pogo Cafe and is delicious. It is very quick and easy because no cooking is required, you just have to remember to soak the nuts and dried fruit the night before. If you forget, all is not lost, soak them in boiling water for an hour, though this means some of the nutrients will be lost and it will no longer be classified as raw. Make sure you add some of the spices as they make all the difference.
