Vegetarian Dishes and Raw Cuisine from San Benito Farm

Saturday Jul 5, 2008

It’s been a month since I decided to remove red meat from my diet. Ever since I came from San Benito Farm, my outlook on food diet changed my life. I had initial misgivings about The Farm. I found it expensive and the food though appealing to the eyes wasn’t something I was used to. My Farm experience was an accidental surprise because I was there for a press briefing on Amway’s Nutrilite Vitamins and Food Supplements. Such surprises can be a pleasant gift to the mind, soul and body. I can say a life-changing experience.

To celebrate my one month semi-vegan lifestyle, let me present to you the “Living Food” or raw cuisine that transformed me.

It started out with a Korean Cuisine inspired menu for lunch.

To quote Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine, “Let food be thy medicine and let medicine be thy food.” Food is our most potent medicine. Various clinical studies have concluded that proper nutrition plays a central role in disease prevention and restoration of health. This is what I discovered after my culinary experience at The Farm.

I made the mistake of joining a walking tour just before lunch. Hungry and hot from walking, the dishes came in small portions and did not nothing to appease my hunger pangs.
