Our ‘old’ food processor, a no-name product from a discount chain, was never really brilliant, and is on the edge of giving up, so I ordered a brand new ‘Jamie Oliver DO250D34 750 Watts Food Processor’ through amazon.co.uk.
It arrived yesterday afternoon by one-day special delivery.

When it comes to conventional cooking, I am a fan of Jamie Oliver – I just love his relaxed fun approach to preparing food. And I want to bring the same energy into my raw food meals.
Back to the point – this is a good opportunity to start a series of articles about essential kitchen tools, for following a raw food lifestyle.
The Number One Powertool for preparing raw meals is a good food processor or blender. As much as I like to chop and cut things by hand, there are many occasions where the job gets done much better and faster with one of these machines.
The food processor should be able to slice and grate vegetables – fine and coarse – and to blend them into a rough or smooth mix.
