Strip the kale along the stem and remove the stalks. Roll the kale into cigar like shape and slice in thin slices (chiffonade). Add hemp oil, lemon juice and salt. Let sit for several minutes to soften the Kale. Add hemp seeds, raisins, sun-dried tomato, red pepper and cubed avocado to the kale. Add Tahini dressing and toss well. Stack the salad in the centre of the plate with height and drizzle the extra dressing around the plate. Add the julienned apples on the top of the salad. Enjoy!

After working for Toronto’s best chefs in some of the most challenging atmospheres he found that he needed to make a change. By taking what he already knew from his years of culinary training he began to relearn how to prepare food in a healthier light. Pairing this with a deep concern for the planet and the welfare of all it’s inhabitants the next most logical step was to become vegan. Since then Doug has taken healthy, organic, plant based cuisine to a whole new level. Challenging mainstream thought on diet and ethics, he continues to create inspired dishes using the highest quality ingredients possible. He has been featured in publications both online and print, is a contributor to various magazines, makes appearances on national television, is a plant based consultant and is an internationally published author. His first cook book Eat Raw, Eat Well, 400 Raw, Vegan and Gluten Free Recipes was published in March 2012 and which recently won the World Gourmand Cookbook Award for the best vegetarian cookbook in the world.
