Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This book was an easy read- I got through it in one evening. It contains a lot of great information in it that I think is beneficial to someone just starting this journey. One of the things I liked the most was the 10 steps. I am a firm believer in taking it one step at a time. Eliminate one bad thing this week, add one good thing the next week etc.. These 10 steps follow my beliefs. Take as much time as you need on each step. When you have conquered step 10 then you are ready to dive into one week of 100% raw- for what Raw Chef Andi calls the Joyful Jumpstart Week. Not every person can just dive into the raw food world 100% all at once. This book helps you to ease into it- making better choices along the way.
Pt 1. Introducing a New Way To Eat
* The Discovery- Chef Andi's journey to a raw food diet
* Why Eat Raw- The benefits, what is raw?, enzymes, raw meat, what does the mean for you?
* Food Categories- what is a fruit?, what is a nut and what is a seed?, what is a green?, what are fats?, what is a sweet?, putting it together, fruits list, greens list
* Proper Food Combining
* Protein
* Best to Worst Diets
Pt 2 The Plan
* 10 Steps to Dietary Health
* Joyful Jumpstart Week
* The Diet Plan
* Getting Started
Pt 3 The Recipes- There are more than 50 raw food recipes
* Beverages
* Green Smoothies
* Salads
* Salad Dressings
* Snacks
* Entrees
* Desserts
* Purchasing Seasonally
* Storing your produce
* FAQS
I have been high raw for almost a month now but had stalled over a week with my weight loss. Using a couple of tips from this book and my weight loss has picked back up again. I would recommend this book to someone just starting out in their journey towards health. Thanks Raw Chef Andi!

Raw Fusion: Better Living Through Living Foods Review

Raw Fusion: Better Living Through Living Foods
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I can so relate to what the author states: "Food has always been a huge part of my life: if the raw food diet were boring or tasteless, there is no way that I would have stuck with this lifestyle." The author has an advanced degree in psychology, and through interviews with raw foodies has learned that nearly everyone benefits psychologically from the diet. They gain more self-confidence, self-awareness, self-control, and self-respect. In addition, diseases can be prevented and even reversed. All of this motivated her to write this book and share this great health secret with the world.
This book is a wonderful introduction to the raw life, and even though I have read several dozen books on the raw diet (writing even two of them myself), I found myself learning new tricks, such as how to get the most from juicing, how to best dehydrate food, and how dehydrating food can actually save you money!)
What LindaJoy illustrates in this book, for all newbies scared to go raw, is that you can benefit so much by just going to a higher level of raw: "Raw Fusion is a hybrid of the best of the raw foods world, intermingled with an informed and conscious mainstream lifestyle. Individuals who find a high raw diet too limiting can find ways to integrate more variety into their meals without compromising nutrition. High raw foodists seeking healthy ways to add cooked foods into their diets will enjoy the versatility and variety of these tips. Families or individuals accustomed to more mainstream meals, but searching for tasty and convenient ways to increase their nutritional intake, will be surprised at how effortlessly one can fuse more raw ingredients into meals".
The four cornerstones of raw fusion, which the book details, include green smoothies, creative green-ing, the main meal salad, and raw desserts.
Raw Fusion covers all you need to know to get started on your raw, high raw, or "raw fusion" journey. You are taught how to equip our kitchen and pantry, how to properly combine foods for efficient digestion, all about superfoods, and the all important sprouting and soaking. This book will lead you to a world beyond cravings, an attitude of gratitude for your body, and how to cook lightly to avoid toxic byproducts from the heat. There is even an excerpt from my book that warns about how cooking has led to disease.
There are interviews with or essays by 15 other raw leaders.
What I love most about this book is that the author is too smart to get stuck in dogma. She realizes that people vary in their nutritional needs. While some do well on a vegan or vegetarian diet, others don't. She also warns about overeating carbohydrates and high glycemic treats, which is a common error in the raw food movement.
This is a great book for everyone on the road to raw! There is even a companion recipe book which is spiral bound.

Delightfully Raw: Delectable Recipes from Carmella's Sunny Raw Kitchen Review

Delightfully Raw: Delectable Recipes from Carmella's Sunny Raw Kitchen
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I had the pleasure of meeting Carmella a few times and having extended conversations. She is an amazing, down to earth, realistic person. The last time I saw her, she had this book published. I own so so many Raw, Vegan, Paleo books but I have to say, this is at the top of the list. Its a no-frills, information packed book with plenty of easy and mouthwatering dishes (and color photos for almost every recipe). Who else has step by step recipes for Kombucha, KimChi and Irish Moss? Her blog, as well as Kristen-Suzanne's Raw Blog spot, are my favorites. Both down to earth ladies who primary goal is to deliver a lot of information to you (and not to sell you on their products and seminars.). If you purchase this book, you will not be disappointed.

The Raw Foods Resource Guide Review

The Raw Foods Resource Guide
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I just love this little book, and I wish I'd had it when I first started working toward a raw diet. Don't let it's little size fool you (about 6x8" - perfect stocking stuffer!). It's one of the most useful books on raw foods that I've ever read, despite it's having only 90 pages. Jeremy Saffron, author of The Fasting Handbook: Dining from an Empty Bowl, has mastered the art of saying a lot by saying very little. He chooses his topics with care and covers them succinctly and completely.
Let me tell you what you'll get out of this book besides a complete list of raw restaurants and food sources. He answers all the questions that I and many others asked as raw food newbies (and frankly were still wondering about), like "Is nutritional yeast really raw?" and "If you could give me a list of the top five foods to include in my diet, what would they be?" I especially liked his sections on travel, dehydrating, foraging, and culturing, and extras like Easy Indoor Gardening and Types of Raw Food Diets (Hydrorians? Who knew?).
This is THE perfect gift for someone considering adopting a raw food diet.

This author did not waste one page of her book with uselss information. If you are interested in ntrition, eating healthy, and are toying with the idea of eating raw, this book is for you. The information is not overwhelming, and the author does not come across as a fanatic, but rather informs the reader of the diet's benefits, and motivates you to at least try this intriguing way of eating. This is probably the one book to really get the beginner started on becoming a raw foodist. There are a ton of resources in the book that makes this a must have for the raw food enthuiast as well as for the beginner. I read the entire book in one weekend, and bought one of the books she recommended and loved it as well. The Raw Food Detox Diet by Natalia Rose is the book that will actually get you through the steps and process of integrating the raw food lifestyle way of eating. I didn't care for the titles of the books, but the content is amazing! Another must-have book if the Complete Book of Raw Food. With these 3 books, you are set for years as a raw foodie!

Click Here to see more reviews about: The Raw Food Diet Myth


The Raw Food Diet Myth is a thought provoking exploration of the revolutionary philosophy of raw and living foods. Author and raw foodist Dr. Ruthann Russo proves that raw food is much more than a diet. She does this by bringing together an enjoyable and clear description of the food, lifestyle, treatment of the earth, each other and the quest for physical, spiritual and mental health within the raw food movement. In the section on Basics, you will read about the long and strong history of the raw food movement beginning with early leaders like physicians Max Bircher-Benner and Max Gerson to leaders of today like Dr. Gabriel Cousens and David Wolfe. In the Food section, Russo describes healthy conflict within the movement in chapters devoted completely to raw chocolate, raw sweeteners, and water. In the Lifestyle Russo delves into health, spirituality and physical fitness as well as ethics, economics, and even raw pets. The book provides you with worthwhile information to make a conscious decision about whether to incorporate any of the raw and living food philosophy into your own philosophy of living.

The purpose of this book is to introduce you to the revolutionary philosophy of raw and living foods by pulling together all of the components, including, but not limited to, diet, into one place. The book provides you with information to make a conscious decision about whether you will, or perhaps already have, incorporated any of the raw and living food philosophy into your own philosophy of living. The Raw Food Diet Myth covers:

The history of raw food lifestyle
Raw vs Living food
How to get raw
What you ll need to go raw
A list of acidic foods to avoid whether you are raw or not
Ethics of the raw food lifestyle

"I think your book is so great in presenting information in such a balanced and rational and very clear and compelling way, addressing all sorts of confusions that people have regarding raw food. Â THANK YOU!" - Sarma Melngailis, Proprietor, pure food and wine of New York

The Raw Truth: The Art of Preparing Living Foods Review

The Raw Truth: The Art of Preparing Living Foods
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Jeremy Saffron has done a good job compiling information on some of the more obscure fruits and veggies for the beginner to identify for further inquiry. Soak and sprouting times are nice and handy for the most used seeds, legumes, nuts and beans.
Some of the Recipes call for exotic ingredients such as amasake, durian, sapote, nigari and carambola. I do think that this is a good thing because for the motivated beginner, it will instigate the reader into searching out and becoming familiar with the asian, indonesian and filipino markets that many of these ingredients are from.
I do think that a bit more on the side of specifics of preperation could have been written. Fermentation, dehydrating and description of the exotic ingredients would have really helped out a few of the recipes. However, I really do like the descriptions of how he has used some of the recipes and what they might best be accompanied with. I have made entire delicious dinners to serve 6 people with his recommendations and very high appeasment from my guests.
I do have to say a few things about the rawness of this book however. Braggs Liquid Aminos is NOT raw, and he uses it frequently in his book, as does Rita Romano in her book "Dining in the Raw". There is a LIVING (the difference between Living and Raw is that Raw is nothing more than a living specimine from the vegetable kingdom, while LIVING reffers to a particularly enzymatically active cultured food, such as Nama Shoyu (( which is what I suggest instead of Braggs Liquid Aminos)), Kimchee, Sauerkraut or unpasturized Pickles. These all contain beneficial bacteria which has not been heated and is considered living) form of soy sauce called Nama Shoyu and it is a great alternative, although it is not Raw either. Himalayan Salt is the best alternative and is full of trace minerals.
All together this is a great start for delicious recipes with a distinctly exotic flare from specific areas of the globe, particularly Asia. I recommend this book to vets and newcommers alike who want a different look on the raw foods movement that is happening right now.
One last thing, this book lacks pictures with the exception of the 2 pages in the middle with 8 pictures total of some of the more pretty recipes. Do your best in making these recipes look great for any guests you might have as it will increase their acceptance of anything without meat. I find that other books with an abundance of pictures are more easy to follow in how the recipe should look.

Jeremy Safron has been a pioneer of the raw foods movement for the past decade.

The recipes are so simple-requiring few ingredients and only a handful of dehydration and sprouting techniques-and so "to live for," that you'll quickly be hooked. But it's not all about simplicity and flavor; raw cuisine is healthful, too. As raw foodists well know, raw foods contain vital enzymes that their cooked counterparts lack, plus more vitamins and nutrients. So whip up such healthy creations as Angel Hair with Marinara, Carrot-Almond Essence Bread, and Carob-Hazelnut Torte, and make your next meal totally rawsome! Includes more than 200 recipes for raw appetizers, soups, entr?©es, sides, desserts, and drinks.

How can one afford a raw lifestyle? How does one find the time to prepare the food? Where does one find simple recipes for delicious raw dishes?
FRUGAL RAW is the answer for me. Really, I have long wondered if it would be possible for me to "go raw." Thompson's book makes it all so possible, and greatly enjoyable. Recipes too simple? If they were more complicated, this book would not serve my needs.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Its very apparent that a lot of love went into making this book. The layout, additional info and resources are excellent and presented very clearly.
As a single guy with not a lot of free time I searched all over for a Raw Foods cookbook that I could use. This is the ONLY book I found that has things I'd eat, enjoy and are easy to make without exorbitant costs or prep times or weird ingredients.
Honestly after researching a lot of the Raw Foods books I figured the only people who could eat this way are housewives with a lot of money, I couldnt imagine anyone spending the time or wanting to eat a lot of the recipes in these other books.
After making many things from the book I can say that they fall into two categories-great or bland/too watery. Things like the cinnamon stewed apples, cashew cream, schezwan marinade, halvah shake, puddings and the dehydrator recipes are outstanding. Others like the gravy, curry apple marinade, tahini marinade, mashed potatoes and others are way too watery or lack flavor. I'd still rate this book 5 stars since theres no other raw cookbook like this but I think she needs to fine tune some of these recipes.
Would still highly reccomend it though. It was a big relief to get a practical book like this after my 1st purchase- Raw in Ten which was truly an awful raw book.

Eat Smart, Eat Raw: Creative Recipes for a Healthier Life
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This was my first raw foods recipe book ever purchased. I looked at SO many and decided on this one due to the easy layout, easy to follow recipes and a nice small variety of each category. Not, it's not the only raw recipe book you'll ever need but it makes a nice gift to someone who's new to the raw foods life (as I did for a friend). What I also really enjoy about it is that Kate Wood inserts little 'tips' and 'ideas' on each page about all kinds of random cool things, facts, projects. For example, she suggested saving avocado seeds and making your own house-plant! I never would have thought of that. I now have 3 and one is already 1 1/2 feet tall and very pretty - burgundy stem and pretty green leaves. In about 10 years, I may have avocados! :-]
What I didn't care for in this book was that she has a section in the back that is 'not so raw' - meaning it is cooked! But, I'm the one that still bought the book, knowing that, and I'm still glad I did. I make the applejack bars weekly (and many non-raw co-workers love tehm) and there are several really good dip/dressing recipes. They're good to use as a base and then you can add/change as you want and build from her foundation. I have a little kitchen scale and the measurements being in ounces is actually kinda fun, not a bother at all. Good book - thanks Kate!
