Margo and Rosa Flanagan are known as the Two Raw Sisters, spending their days developing recipes with a focus on plant based, whole foods, that make you feel great.

They haven't always had a positive relationship with food though. Between them, the sisters grew up struggling with eating disorders, chronic fatigue syndrome, and endometriosis. It wasn't until they began to see food as a way to fuel their bodies, rather than determine how they look, that their love affair with food really kicked off.

Now, Margo and Rosa are the authors of five cookbooks - four of which are best-sellers. They have their own culinary app, and recently started the Two Raw Sisters podcast. Their new book More Salad is a follow-up to 2021's Salad, which was the highest-selling NZ cookbook published that year.

Rosa and Margo spoke to Susie about how to be intelligently lazy in the kitchen and shared a recipe for Olive Oil Chocolate Mousse with Sea Salt.

The olive oil chocolate mousse with sea salt, extracted from More Salad by the Two Raw Sisters. RRP$49.99. Published by Allen & Unwin NZ.
