Vegan Summer fruit pie, oats crust and coconut yogurt

--> recette en français

    I don't know about where you live but it's said that in France, everything turns slower during Summer holidays (July-August), some stores or restaurants close, some company too, sometimes for whole August. It seems that social networks are taking the same path, at least in France, maybe in the rest of Europe too or in the North hemisphere of the World. 

   Anyway, last Summer I was working a lot, long hours, long weeks and didn't have much time to cook or take care of the blog, this is I did but I decided to take it slow too, go on vacation in my family and just take the time to do other things. We already faced a long heat wave for more than a month in France, Europe and I know some other countries like in North America at least. So, I didn't cook much and would hardly prepare some salads, sometimes cook some rice or quinoa, more rarely the oven. 

Vegan raw vanilla apple pie

--> recette en français

    The full season of apples is almost at its end so I wanted to try a new recipe. Some eat them all year long but I don't think they taste really good in summer, also I eat enough apples all the rest of the year to enjoy all the yummy fruit Summer has to offer.

   I'm an apple pie fan, yes, the most simple recipes are often the better ! But this time, I'm taking you to towards raw cuisine. We talk about living food because vitamins and nutrients are not damaged through the process of cooking - because there's no cooking obviously or it doesn't go beyond 40°c (100°f).

Raw Spring pointed cabbage, fennel, carrot and apple salad, almond butter and soy sauce seasoning

--> recette en français

    A few days ago, I stumbled on a type of cabbage I didn't even know about called "chou pointu" which means "pointed cabbage" in French because of the shape its leaves give it. It's a Spring cabbage, sweeter and more easily digestible. Its leaves are tender and slick. It had been a while since I wanted to make a raw cabbage salad so I gave it a try.

   Lately, the weather has ben very ugly in France and I kind of only crave for comforting and warm dishes but I thought a good salad would be nice to celebrate May. 

   I had a fennel and a carrot to use in the fridge and I thought that an apple would bring some sharpness. If you don't like fennel just skip it and put more cabbage.
