Live Tomato Zucchini Lasagna - what does live mean? I was looking at the menu of Candle 79 - a vegan, organic restaurant in Manhattan.  One of the items on the menu is titled:

Live Tomato Zucchini Lasagna  - cashew cheese, marinated wild mushrooms, tomato sauce, basil, pine nut pesto.

What could the 'live' possibly imply?  What might it mean?

Since the restaurant is vegan, nothing is actually alive in the traditional sense...
I'm pretty sure the word "live" means that it's raw and uncooked. I found a recipe for Raw Mushroom and Spinach Lasagna that's very similar to the menu item you describe. It uses zucchini "noodles", cashew "ricotta", along with marinated mushrooms, and tomato sauce to make a raw and meatless "lasagna". The only apparent difference is that the recipe calls for spinach pesto instead of pine nut pesto.
