I know I crave more live foods during the spring/summer and then more hearty/warm foods in the fall/winter

Exactly.

Being new to this I'm hoping he can give me some local to me suggestions for substitutes

I tried too many raw recipes that just were...not for me. And that's one of the biggest reasons I mostly gave up on raw "uncooking" - it's time consuming and can be expensive, and then if you don't like it, . We have NO raw eateries around here - the closest, I think, is three hours away in NYC.

I wish I could try more before making the food.
