Alissa Cohen's Living on Live Food Recipe "Pakora"

Pakora

I made Alissa Cohen's raw food recipe for "Pakora" for our 13 mile hike in Glacier National Park. We did the highline trail again to Granite Park Chalet and down to the loop. 

Half way through we did the 1 mile up to the overlook to view the glaciers and Many Glacier

Our hike was beautiful. We love Glacier National Park. I make my pakora ahead time and the recipe is very easy, the hardest part is just chopping your vegetables 1/4 - 1/2 inch pieces. In Living on Live Food on page 432 of Alissa's book she has a little information about the recipe that it came from Robert Reed, the owner of the Organic Garden Restaurant in Beverly, Massachusetts. To make them you make a great seed batter with special spices and mix with a mixture of vegetables and then dehydrate for 6-12 hours. They keep great in the refrigerator.  Taste great if you make a dipping sauce to go along with them. I was hiking so I just threw in a few for my trip.

Glacier Park The Highline Trail

The Highline Trail

Logan Pass

 The Highline Trail begins at Logan Pass on the Going to the Sun Road and then runs north, following the Continental Divide in the process, to Fifty Mountain Campground, it's about 20 miles total. 

This year because of all the snow finally opened 3 days ago. 

It is recommended to hike with appropriate hiking and self-arrest equipment. 

You never know what you might see along on the trails. The wildlife doesn't move off the trail usually you do. We always run into bighorn sheep and mountain goats. I've never run into a bear but you never know when that might happen. Make noise!

 Here is where the "Garden Wall" starts. You can see the Going to the Sun Road below.

 The exciting part to me is the thrilling "Garden Wall" that runs from Logan Pass to the Granite Park Chalet. It is about 7 or so miles. The hike has many flat spots and gradual inclines here and there. 

We love the beautiful mountain goats!

 During the summer months is a great time to take advantage of all the hiking every where. I will try to post more hikes soon.

Great exercise!

 Here we are having lunch on the cliff area. You can see over to Many Glacier area with Swift Current Lake in the distance then in the middle Lake Josephine and the closest lake is Grinnell Lake.

The adorable marmots!!
