This would be my second favourite raw recipe book I have so far! I so appreciated the simplicity she shared in her book, it was so simple and easy to understand. I think that in this day and age, easy, but healthy food preparation needs to be easy for people who live lives on the go. Some of the recipes are a bit complex but on the whole, it’s pretty simple. Her recipes are good tasting and fun to make. She includes lots of tips for “green” living and her thoughts and ideas about the raw food lifestyle. There are a lot of pictures of her in her book, and you can see for herself that she lives what she teaches. I liked the fact that most of her recipes called for every-day ingredients. It’s a fun to flip through and get inspired by. I must confess I have been known to stay up in bed reading this recipe book!

Recently I just bought this book and let me tell you, I wasn’t disappointed. It was well done, just like her first book. But this time, it is simply loaded with delicious, simple; yet elegant recipes. I love the format she chose for this book, giving you 10 great breakfasts, lunches, dinners, snacks, and drinks with 10 recipes in each heading. I especially loved the way she had whole dinners planned under a theme, whether it was a “diner dinner”, a “raw barbecue”, or an “Italian style” supper, including a sweet to end the meal off with. Besides the great recipes, she shows you what a basic raw pantry would consist of, a germinating and sprouting timetable, and information on more raw foods. Most of the recipes aren’t actually created by her, but she got some fantastic raw chefs and friends to share their recipes and compiled it in this awesome book. She isn’t vegan and that’s the only thing that I can see being a problem to some people, but even if one is vegan, there are still loads of great recipes in the book to tempt a picky palette!

If you’re into juicing, this little book is well worth buying. It’s my favourite juicing book simply because it’s easy, fun to look through, the pictures are beautiful, and the recipes delicious. She has nutritional info coinciding with the juice recipe which I really appreciated. Not only are there juice recipes but there are some nut milk recipes, smoothie recipes, and tea recipes. A couple of the recipes aren’t exclusively raw, but the rest of the book is loaded with wonderful super healthy recipes. It talks about fruit juicing as well as vegetable juicing and the benefits of doing so. She includes some helpful tips sprinkled throughout the nutritional information. Jucing is incredible to do for your health and to eat more fruits and vegetables in your day and this book tells you just how, whether you’re a beginner or a master at it. Just looking through it makes me want a glass of fresh juice on the spot.

This book is one of the best I’ve seen for the beginning raw foodist. It’s intriguing, informative, explained well, and fun to read. It covers everything from what raw food is, tips for shopping raw, commen questions and misconceptions about the raw lifestyle, the basic kitchen equipment, supplements, food awareness, to the benefits of eating this way. It is easy to read and a great way to introduce the basics of raw foods to those who are interested. The only thing that I would mention is that she is not vegan, but a raw vegan at that, so she enjoys her raw meat and eggs, as long as they are of the finest organic quality. Even if one is vegan there is a lot of gems to benefit from in this book. It’s not really an un-cookbook, but there are some recipes at the back of the book. Well worth the read.
