    About this ebook

    Menkit Prince, the author of the original 'Essential Oil Cookbook' first published in 1997, has just published a gourmet, all-raw series of recipe ebooks. Aromatically Raw Cakes is the first in the series and contains 31 original raw vegan cake recipes flavoured with exquisite top-grade essential oils. Each recipe is illustrated with her masterful photography to get you salivating and running to the kitchen to prepare it! With 21 different essential oils to play with, you are bound to create sensational new tastes to thrill your friends and guests.

    For example, Lavender Ice Cream Cake has the texture of sensuous, velvety ice cream. The heavenly floral overtones of Lavender and Rose Geranium oil take you into deep pleasure while the earthiness of the Cardamom chocolate crust grounds you in the moment of bliss. The aftertaste brings waves of berry sweetness that dance with the tart lemon tang, leaving a very contented tongue and belly.

    Capuccino Cheezcake will melt in your mouth. The first taste is not coffee but it comes on subtly. It's not overwhelming but there is an aftertaste of coffee. The texture is ultra creamy. People love the distinct flavours in Menkit's cakes as they arise subtly but powerfully one after the other. Nor are her cakes overly sweet or oily with just the right amount of coconut oil to make the cake set yet still remain decadent.

    Imagine making a raw version of apple pie that tastes even better than what your mother made? With the addition of Lemon, Clove, Ginger and Cardamom essential oils, how could it not? And with the added benefit of boosting your immune system since essential oils have strong anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal, anti-microbial and antioxidant qualities.

    If you are looking for something a little bit different and sophisticated enough to please the fussiest of eaters while still being ultra-healthy, this book may be for you. Many entrepreneurial spirits are making her cakes and selling them to local cafes and health food shops. Or if you just want a cake to keep in the fridge and spoil yourself whenever the need arises, these cakes will get you looking forward to your daily dose of bliss.

    Menkit shows that you don’t have to be a professional chef to make outstandingly delicious cakes – the secret is in the ingredients, particularly the aromatherapy oils used in flavouring.

    While the addition of aromatherapy oils to food is not yet a common practice, she educates the reader about its safety, use, importance of purity and so on. Only a drop or two is required to transform a cake into something spectacular.

    Her opening chapters cover the safety of ingesting essential oils written by Dr James L. Symes, Professor of Chemistry, the importance of using only top quality oils along with tips of how to use and store essential oils. She also discusses the pros and cons of using sometimes controversial ingredients such as Irish Moss, agave and cacao powder. Keep your eyes peeled for the surprise recipe using the majestic Davidson Plum, Australian bush tucker superfood that is sure to take the world by storm.

    All the recipes are sugar-free, gluten-free and dairy-free.

      Aromatically Raw Cakes - Menkit Prince

      My journey into cake-making began when at the tender age of about 8 years I made my first cake all by myself. Proudly I gave my father the first piece. You can imagine my horror when he ran to the sink and spat it out! It wasn’t until I tried a piece that I understood why - I had used a cup of salt instead a cup of sugar!

      Then when my son was about 7 years old he announced that he did NOT want me to make his birthday cake and that it had to be a store-bought cake. He was ashamed of my cakes. It was then that I had to finally admit to myself that I sucked at making cakes.

      A few decades on I decided to adopt a raw vegan diet. It was then that I discovered how incredibly delicious raw cakes can be. Imagine that - a cake that is not cooked - no dairy, sugar, flour, eggs? It’s different all right. But outrageously good. At last, everybody could love my cakes. People now clamour for my cakes! And the beauty is they are dairy-free, sugar-free and gluten-free. They tick all the boxes. They taste absolutely amazing and just happen to be healthier for you.

      My other recipe book ‘The Essential Oil Cookbook’ (which morphed into ‘Weigh Less Eat Like Royalty’) shows that a few drops of top-quality essential oil could transform just about any dish into one fit for the Gods. And so it was with raw cakes, adding a few drops of essential oils did work magic.

      As an environmental and animal rights activist the raw vegan diet has become a fun way for me to encourage people to shift their dietary choices away from meat, dairy, eggs and fish. There are so many reasons to do this - to protect the environment, one’s health, to reduce animal suffering and to stop world hunger.

      By adopting a vegan diet you save 1100 gallons of water, 30 sq. feet of forest, 45lbs grain and one animal’s life every single day. Animals suffer so much - imagine the horrific emotional pain of having your calf stolen from you just hours after giving birth, not just for the mother but the baby as well. Not drinking milk saves water - it takes up to 1000 gallons of water to produce 1 gallon of milk and 2,500 gallons water to make 1lb beef. Animal agriculture is the main cause of every environmental ill known to man and the largest contributor to deforestation, pollution, dwindling resources, ocean dead zones, habitat destruction, species extinctions, water scarcity, land shortages and world hunger. One third of the planet is becoming desert due to livestock grazing. Raising animals for food is really what is killing the planet. Therefore the solution is a plant-based diet, the only sustainable way to go for 7+ billion people.

      By eating raw food you preserve the heat-sensitive vitamins, all the enzymes and about half the protein. It means you can eat less, your digestion often improves, your energy levels and health improve, excess weight falls away, depression disappears. What a perfect win-win situation!

      Please always use top quality ingredients - organic where possible, even if it costs more. You are worth it. Besides by purchasing non-organic food you are supporting the pesticide industry poisoning the planet. The planet is worth it. Use the best quality essential oils in these recipes i.e. not the cheapest ones.

      Aromatically yours,

      Menkit Prince July,
