Raw Yam Burgers & Daikon Fries from This Rawsome Vegan Life

Raw Yam Burgers & Daikon Fries
from This Rawsome Vegan Life

From Emily von Euw (This Rawsome Vegan Life), the author of this recipe:

"All that's in these burgers and fries is a whack load of vegetables and spices. Goes like this: throw stuff in the food processor, rub things with your hands, toss something in the dehydrator and you'll get a gourmet raw food meal in no time! (Okay, I may have simplified that process a little.) But seriously - it's pretty much that easy. Look at the colours of this food."
