It’s always fun to check out the farmer’s market while traveling just to see what’s available locally in the area. While wandering around the Hillcrest farmer’s market in San Diego, I was happily surprised to stumble upon a raw food booth there.
Peace Pies offers organic, raw, vegan, and gluten-free food – various salads, wraps, pizza slices plus sweets and of course, pies. All made from scratch using locally grown ingredients.
With such a large selection of tasty looking items, I had a difficult time choosing. I finally settled on the mango curry salad. A delicious blend of crunchy veggies and sweet mangoes in a spicy dressing. I also got the raw carrot cake – it’s somewhat familiar like a regular carrot cake but different, lighter and just as sweet and satisfying.
I would have loved to try some of their other items but I was only in the area for a short time. I hear a cookbook is in the works so all may not be lost.
The vegetables with the mango look delicious!!! I love carrot cake, how wholesome this looks.
Ah, Peace Pies is great! They were at our university’s first farmer’s market and make AWESOME food. So glad to hear you had a chance to try it and that there’s a cookbook coming out. :)
Those photos look so scrumptious. I know that carrot cake is going to haunt my dreams tonight. Oh my yes.
Raw carrot cake? How intriguing… It sure looks delicious, so I may just have to be on the lookout for this cookbook as well!
