Jim here... Conventional wisdom says we shouldn't judge a book by its cover, right? Well, what about recipes? Should we judge them by their names?
When KDcat was young -- well before we followed a raw diet -- her friends sometimes scoffed at our typical vegan fare. After all, few kids would voluntarily eat "Pasta with Spinach Sauce."? But, we discovered, change the name and suddenly they're lining up for seconds. Instead of "Spinach Sauce," Wendi came up with "Jungle Sauce"! How exciting, right?
So, maybe a good recipe title DOES mean something after all. Maybe it means that you took the time to add that one extra-special "ingredient." Call it love, call it laughter, call it joy. It's intangible, yet it alters the ambience and empowers the dishes with what the French might call that je ne sais quoi -- that certain "something."
How this works is a mystery, of course. But, the effects are undeniable! And you too will soon experience the wonder of these higher-vibrational delicacies. This past weekend, Pure Jeevan put the finishing touches on TWO amazing eBooks as free gifts for you!
Since we're *almost* ready to officially unleash these creations, we thought we'd run a few of our dreamy dish titles past you to stimulate your imagination as well as your appetite!? Among the 25+ recipes we'll be giving away in one of the eBooks, you'll find:
* Luscious Fruity Shiver
* Cosmic Kale Awakening
* Tahini Genie Spread
* The Herbalist's Cauldron of Flavor
* Night at the Symphony
Wow, is it close to lunch time, or is this list making me hungry ! You guys are going to LOVE these recipes -- guaranteed or double your money back! (Oh, wait, they're FREE!)

i agree about a name- or even that certain added spice that kicks up a plain jane recipe into the scrumptious zone.
i can't wait to try these you've mentioned!
