Oooh Baby, I Like It Raw

Raw, vegan and certified organic…These probably aren’t words that bring to mind visions of mom’s home cooking, but believe or not somehow Leaf Cuisine manages to trick you into thinking your eating your childhood favorites.

Thuy and I have ventured out to this low key spot on a number of occassions and have yet to be disappointed. Portions are generous, not to mention delicious (and nothing is heat processed above 110 degrees F). I played it safe and ordered the Raw Slaw and the Garden Delight Salad, however as I looked around it seemed as though everyone else had ordered the Pad Thai made with squash and kelp noodles. I also highly recommend the desserts, ranging from carrot cake to Oraweo pudding (get it.. Oreo but it’s raw, hence “Oraweo”).

Leaf Cuisine offers catering as well as classes that teach you the principles, techniques and preparation of a raw diet. With locations in both Culver City and Sherman Oaks, you can get your fill of this dope cuisine whether you rep for the Valley or the Westsiiiide!!
