Before attempting to cook raw food, it is helpful to understand the basics of raw food preparation. Raw foods are any foods that have not been processed or heated above 118 degrees Fahrenheit, as this level of heat destroys many of the beneficial nutrients in the food. As such, most fruits and vegetables can be eaten uncooked, as well as some fish, meats, and eggs if they are absolutely fresh and properly handled.

When cooking with raw foods it is important to use only the freshest ingredients available. If you are buying produce from the grocery store check for signs of spoilage such as mold on fruits or wilted leaves on vegetables. Always inspect meat and fish for an off smell or discoloration before purchasing them. When possible organic ingredients should be used as they are grown without pesticides which could cause harm if ingested while eating raw foods.

Before beginning any preparation it is important to wash all ingredients thoroughly with cold water in order to remove any dirt or bacteria that may be present on them. This also applies to fresh produce that will be eaten without cooking. Scrubbing vegetables with a brush can help ensure that all dirt has been removed before consumption or further processing.

Once all ingredients have been washed and inspected the fun part begins – creating delicious recipes! There are several different ways of preparing raw foods such as blending them into shakes or smoothies; chopping them up for salads; dehydrating them into chips; fermenting them into sauerkraut; juicing them into juices; marinating them into ceviche; pickling them in vinegar; pureeing them into sauces; slicing them into sushi rolls; spicing them for tacos; sprinkling salt onto slices for chips; spiraling noodles from vegetables like zucchini and sweet potatoes; sprouting seeds like lentils/beans/nuts; steaming vegetables over boiling water until they’re tender-crisp (but not cooked); grinding grains like oats into flour and more!

Raw food recipes can also incorporate flavors such as spices, herbs, oils (like olive oil), nut butters, vinegars (like apple cider vinegar), citrus juices (lemon juice or lime juice) avocados (for creaminess) tahini (a sesame paste made from ground sesame seeds), tamari (a gluten-free soy sauce alternative), seaweeds (such as nori sheets used in sushi rolls) natural sweeteners like honey/maple syrup/agave nectar/dates etc., nut milks, sea salts etc., allowing your creativity free reign when making recipes!

Finally when serving raw meals never forget presentation – serve each dish attractively on colorful plates & platters garnished with edible flowers & herbs for added visual appeal & flavor! Also remember that homemade condiments & dressings always add extra flavor & texture so don't forget these either when serving your creations!

Cooking with raw foods may initially seem intimidating but with practice comes mastery! Use your newfound knowledge of Raw Foods Preparation Basics along with your creativity to create delicious healthy meals full of vibrant nutrients necessary for living a healthier lifestyle!
