Raw Food: A Complete Guide for Every Meal of the Day Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I've been trying to figure out the best way to review this book. On the one hand, hard-core rawies maybe won't like the fact that the authors are not 100% raw all the time. But me? I like this. They may say that the recipes are so simple, so why write them into a raw cookbook? Yes, they are simple, but...

Raw Energy: 124 Raw Food Recipes for Energy Bars, Smoothies, and Other Snacks to Supercharge Your Body Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I'm very impressed with Raw Energy. I've been looking for ways to add more raw food to my diet, but not necessarily at dinner. And I don't have time, nor the organization, for raw food cookbooks that make you start an entree 3-5 days ahead of time to sprout, soak and dehydrate the creation. This book...

Jerky: Make Your Own Delicious Jerky and Jerky Dishes Using Beef, Venison, Fish, or Fowl (A. D. Livingston Cookbook) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Livingston takes a definite outdoorsman approach to jerky. He is sharply critical of USDA safety regulations, and he doesn't believe in nitrate cure as a preservative (he includes it in a few recipes, but says it's for preserving the color of the meat, not as a safety procedure). Some of the air-drying...

Raw Food Made Easy For 1 or 2 People Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I like a lot of raw things; though I eat a regular diet, I've preferred a lot of my foods raw for years--definitely fruits and vegetables, and some other things that would probably upset a vegan or two.Cornbleet's book was recommended to me by another Amazon reviewer, and I have to say, this is one book...

The Dehydrator Cookbook (Nitty Gritty Cookbooks) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I just got a sparkling new Excalibur dehydrator and purchased this book for innovative ideas on how to use it. The book contained little more than the instruction book that came with the machine. There are no illustrations, which would have been useful. Most of the recipes are not ones I would use. For...

Just Jerky : The Complete Guide to Making It Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Compared to general-use cookbooks, those with a specific focus, such as this one, are directed at a narrower audience. They tend to be tougher to write because the consumer who picks it up expects more than a mere compilation of recipes. Mary Bell delivers! Her first chapter covers the where's, why's...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I bought two books in Kristen Suzanne's series and while the recipes look good, I have to agree with other reviewers who've pointed out how repetitive the series format is for these books. Almost the entire first half of each book is an introductory guide to the raw vegan lifestyle. Had these books been...
