The Cook with Us team, Hive account@offoodandart, Hive account@pandamama and Hive account@chefsteve, had so much fun this last week reading about your raw dishes. We were blown away by the creativity that some of you showed in your dishes. We also liked how a few of you pushed the boundaries to show what is possible with raw food. All three of us learned a few new tips and techniques from you and we thank you for that!

Before we get to this week’s winners, we would like to remind you that this week is the ice cream, sorbet and granita week. This week we are also including a mystery theme of sundae. Check out the link above for more information and to submit your entries.

OK, let's see who the winners are this week!
