Even though I've just arrived in Chiang Mai, I managed to score an invitation to a raw food potluck happening last weekend in a house in the jungle. It's just as exotic as it sounds. I don't have a kitchen yet so I just grabbed a bunch of tropical fruit at a street market. Luckily there were others in attendance who not only have kitchens but put them to use and made some lovely raw food for me to sample.
What a lovely spread! Clockwise from top left we have vegetables for dipping, apple, a green salad, two bowls of cut fruit, spicy fruit salad, tomatoes stuffed with olive tapenade, guacamole, sum tam, sauerkraut, and pesto dip. Not pictured: kim chi and a lovely cashew date cake. My favorite was the sum tam, but I'm a sucker for spicy food.
Big bowl of yum
This fresh, vegetable-heavy meal was a welcome respite from all of the greasy street food I've been eating. Don't worry, that doesn't mean I'm going to stop eating the greasy food before I blog about it.
