I tend to have a love-hate relationship with raw cuisine.  Sometimes it can be really good, and sometimes it just makes me want to gag.  I think I initially put off raw cuisine, because my first experiences were more of the gagging kind.  Luckily, I persevered and found items I liked.  One place with some tasty raw cuisine is Euphoria Loves Rawvolution in Santa Monica.

One of my new favorites at Euphoria is their Warm Adzuki Bean Miso Soup ($4 cup/$7.50 bowl) – soy free miso with homemade Nofu, scallions, and mushrooms.  The Nofu just melts in your mouth and the broth has great flavor.  I’m going to remember this soup when I feel a cold coming on.

I also got a Taco Salad ($11.50) – walnut taco meat, guacamole, and tangy mayo on a bed of lettuce.  This thing was huge!  I had to take half of it home.  The taco meat was very filling and they give enough of the topping so you can have some with each bite of lettuce.  I really hate it when places are stingy with the dressing.

My vegan guy got the Avocado Cheese Scramble ($10) – homemade cashew scramble with avocado, sunflower seed cheese, red bell peppers, red onions, and marinated mushrooms served with heirloom purple corn chips.  I had a tiny taste of it and really liked it.  He also enjoyed the dish.  Good thing breakfast is served all day, so we can get this anytime.
