Kiss the Uncook

If veggie topped kelp and zucchini noodles sound like an appetite squelcher, you haven’t noshed at Rawlicious.

Ever since the Globe and Mail’s Joanne Kates gave the Yorkville location a big thumbs up, curious diners have arrived in droves to try the pad thai ($14).

The buckwheat pizza ($10) is another popular choice, and not just among raw food enthusiasts and vegans. We loved the thin, crispy crust (made in a dehydrator) lathered in cashew cheese and fresh marinara sauce. A lean green juice ($5.50) and coconut macaroon ($2) made this the healthiest meal we’ve had in a while.

I think we earned the chocolate lava cake picked up en route home. A girl can’t be too purist. —AT
