as we are talking about food, recently I managed, after a couple of months of laziness, to prepare a cold soup, vegetables and water, smashed with a strong blender which makes them a cream soup.
thus, going back in time, I remembered the naturist cooking classes I attended in UK about three years ago with Elaine Bruce.
Elaine Bruce holds cooking classes where you can learn to cook without the use of fire, boiling, etc.; the majority of the products are used in their natural state, blended fresh or dehydrated for a later consumption.
She follows the line established at the beginning of the 20th century by Ann Wigmore, a Lithuanian woman emigrated in the USA around 1920. At home, due to the precarious life conditions, she frequently ate “verdure” gathered from the fields and also used it for treating different diseases.
Once arrived in the USA, Ann discovered candies, ice-cream and other capitalist “advantages” and forgot about the herbs. Later on, facing serious health issues, up to the recommendation of legs amputation due to a gangrene, she had to take major decisions. She remembered her home habits and decided to refuse any medical intervention and returned to her plants.
After several attempts, she succeeded to obtain small crops of eatable plants.
During winter, she had the ingenious idea to make the same in the limited space of her own apartment. Little soil, plastic trays, quality seeds, water and lots of patience - these were the secret ingredients to assure her success.
Like in a beautiful fairy tale (but 100% true), the doctors were stunned when Ann showed up with her totally recovered legs and an excellent health condition.
As for Elaine, I can tell you that she is in her 70s and when I attended her classes, she used to take us for walks in the fields. Sometimes I had to run to catch her, she was very quick…
