Summarize this article in one sentence.
If you will be hosting, let your guests know that you eat raw, so your Thanksgiving meal will consist of all raw dishes. Encourage them to try your delicious and healthy food, or you may consider inviting guests to bring cooked dishes for themselves and other non-raw food dieters to eat. You may be hesitant about bringing your own food to someone else’s Thanksgiving dinner because you don’t want to be rude. However, bringing a few dishes that cater to your lifestyle that everyone can sample isn’t rude. Consider bringing a few raw dishes for yourself that others can eat as side dishes or desserts. You probably should contact the host before you arrive and let them know about your diet preferences. You can give them the heads up that you will be bringing food that aligns with your lifestyle so they won’t be surprised. Many raw food recipes require marinades or soaking for tough grains and nuts. This may be impossible to do on Thanksgiving day. Many recipes also need considerable prep work, like shredding, dicing, or chilling portions of the recipes. Know what you are going to cook so you can start meal prep earlier that week. If you are considering serving dishes you have never tried before or hosting non-raw food dieters, select a few recipes for a test run. This helps you know exactly how they will taste and how to prepare them. If there are any problems, you can correct them before Thanksgiving day. You can rate the recipes on flavor, denseness, and similarity to non-raw food dishes.
Inform guests of your dietary preferences. Take your own dishes. Plan the menu in advance. Sample recipes in advance.
