Sweet Mamas is Soul Food in the Raw

Sweet Mama's serves raw, vegan and organic living desserts and savories to NYC and the Hudson Valley. Their non-dairy, gluten-free cheesecakes, brownies, pies, lasagnas, pizzas and other edibles are made with the finest ingredients and attention to the principles of raw food preparation. You can find the woman behind Sweet Mama's, Katherine Key, walking around Beacon, usually going to or from her friend, Marla's Kale Kitchen, on Verplank (the house you see with the garden of a variety of luscious leaves growing in front).

I'm on Sweet Mama's email list, which means I get tempted with her affordable raw meals at least once a week. I'm not a vegan, and prefer butter whenever possible, and am a total carnivore, but these raw meals sound too good to resist! And are very affordable.
