This is an excellent book for the novice raw fooder or someone like me who wants to eat high raw with a family to feed. The best thing about this book and the way it is different from ALL the other raw food books is that it enables me to PLAN meals because the author notes how long the finished food will last. No other book does this. I know some people think you should make everything from scratch as and when needed, but this puts alot of people off. It is not practical with a family you are trying to feed healthily to not have anything in the fridge or cupboard that you can give them. You need to work in advance sometimes and that is possible with this book. I highly recommend it for this reason.

The author has a very down to earth approach. This book is full of raw recipes that actually taste really good, and are simple to make. They contain ingredients that are readily available to most people. Highly recommended.

modest, no nonsense, accessible stuff

I've only had one other raw food book, an that's RAW by Juliano.. gorgeous and exciting, but most of the recipes are overwhelming. Obscure, expensive and very lengthy lists of ingredients.. and the need to have some pretty expensive equipment i.e. a dehydrator. Quality stuff though.
Anyway. This book is great, the recipes are so easy and very good. My favourite thing has to be the flourless chocolate/carob cake! More satisfying than the 'real thing', and it's good for you, swooon.
With most recipes she includes variations of ingredients.. for people who aren't vegan, or anti-refined sugar etc. The pictures are rubbish, and the book itself feels kinda cheap, but what it lacks in these areas it makes up for in the real substance of the book.
It's all so simple, and is more educational than manual-like, that is, it informs your own imagination, so you can get into the intuitive spirit of raw creativity :P that sounds a little pretentious maybe, but it's true :) Lots of fun.

Eat raw, but don't limit yourself
|
This is probably one of the best books about raw food. At least the best I have ever seen, and I did go through a number of those... I am generally in favour of raw foods. The majority of my diet is raw. However some foods do requires some heating :-)... A good addition to this book is Can We Live 150 by M. Tombak. I suggest getting them both for a broad view of the full food spectrum.
