Great RAW book

I sat in Barnes and Noble and read about 10 books on the RAW diet. This book was one of the best. Why? * Simple recipes * Colorful pictures - to see how it should look * Easier and more common ingredients You will find this book very helpful for these reasons. Many books out there are made with difficult recipes. Others are too complicated for busy people. You are always guessing how they should look when you are finished. And, the ingredients cause you to spend a fortune. This book overcomes these things and gives the average person a chance to succeed with the raw (or mostly raw) diet. Even if you just want to start adding more raw food, to get the enzymes your body starves for, this is a good purchase. Living foods, from a living God, for a living YOU. This book is great for your health. Include Positive Prayers on CD to help you to build your mind and spirit. Now, you are ready to accomplish your greatest dreams. When prayers go up, blessings come down. I hope this is helpful to you, and you are on the path to a healthier lifestyle.

Many creative recipes

I really like this book - great for transitioning into raw foods. So many recipes and most of them were delicious!

Yummy

I have 7 raw recipe books and this one is my favorite. The recipes are easy to follow and are just scrumptious. The pictures give an accurate idea of how the recipes will turn out however, it is the information found in the book that make it so great.

Wonderful Book!

I bought and returned a few raw cookbooks but this one is REALLY a keeper! It has wonderful receipes that are very real and just look amazing. The quality of the book is great -- the pictures, the layout, etc. everything is made with a lot of love and thoughtfullness. Also, being a novive in the world of raw cooking, I needed some info on sprouting, soaking, dehydrators, etc. and guess what? This book has all the info, including a great chart with the hours necessary for sprouting different food. Also, there is a section on food combining which is a great bonus. All in all, the author has done an amazing job! Thank you! :)

Delicious, raw "soul food", easily prepared...

Recently, my mother got married and I was seated at a table with a raw (or living) food advocate. Having heard her story how eating raw cured her husband from arthritis and having tasted a mock strawberry cheesecake made from cashew nuts and cashew nut butter (it was fabulous)...I rushed to buy the book that evening. I am an extremely visual person, so getting a book that had pictures of the finished recipes was a necessity, as well as getting a book that outlined the raw food principles, fasting and more. To say the least, I was far from disappointed. The recipes in this book include: burgers, tacos, vegetable chips, pizza, pasta, soups, dips, dressings, salads, smoothies, juices, teas, cheescakes, pies, cookies...and they all look mouth-watering. Even my meat-eating boyfriend likes the look (and taste) of these delightful recipes. The recipes aren't complicated...they just require a little time and effort, which is common of raw living. They do require a dehydrator (you can pick one up for 30 bucks at Sears), a juicer, a blender and a saladacco (a spiral pasta maker for vegetables)...however if you're just starting out like me, you can use your oven at a very low heat with the door open to "dehydrate" foods to get used to it, you can use a cheese grater to make zucchini spaghetti. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone interested in dabbling in raw food...it's extremely tasty, simple recipes and best of all good for you...I mean would you pass up the opportunity to eat "pizza" with a side of vegetable chips and a slice of cheesecake AND it be good for you AND taste delicious? Packed with vitamins, minerals, fiber and goodness...Give it a whirl, I promise you won't be disappointed.
