I'm quite into raw food and generally trying to live a healthy life so I have enjoyed this book - it has given me some good ideas on how to incorporate more raw food into my diet. However...quite a few recipes are way different to the food I am used to! Raw ketchup was amazingly good and the spring roll style wraps are worth making but combinations of sprouts, seaweed and bombay mix found in other recipes are rather new tastes for me!
All in all worth getting, but as someone who is 'quite' interested in raw food I need more recipes that are closer to my taste. Maybe I'll try Kate's next book.... >>More Details |

Ani's Raw Food Kitchen: Easy, Delectable Living Foods Recipesby: Ani Phyo May 31, 2007 |

On the outset, this is a well-written, well-presented book, lots of photos, lots of tips and info, especially with regard to nutrition. However, before purchasing this book, I had no idea this author was Californian, and the fact is, this has a great bearing on the recipes themselves. Many of the ingredients are either just not available in Britain, or only available in the major cities, or are so expensive that it makes the meal only fit for special occasions. Also, many ingredients have travelled from far corners of the globe, thus contributing towards a heavier carbon footprint than I would like. So, for those who wish to tread lightly upon this world, I would recommend this book only to those living in warmer climes, where the produce is locally ... Read More:

I agree with previous reviewers but must add that some recipes do require cooking (not dehydrating), so for it to be titled "...Raw Engergy Bible" is somewhat misleading...
Also, it's rather wordy although does have interesting (and pertinent) things to say. >>More Details |

When this book turned up I initially thought "what is this load of rubbish?". No pictures, black and white throughout and no hype to it. For over a week it sat on the side while I read "Raw Food - Real World", a glossy, glam cookbook that I ordered at the same time. After trying recipes from that I began to see that the pictures were far more appetising than the actual recipes. This relinquished my initial reservations and plunged into Jordan's drab book. Wow! Was I surprised!
Anyone who's been raw foodist for a while knows that you'll be primarily living off of salads with a few dishes thrown in to keep you varied. Jordan gives an excellent range of salad dressings and dips which will form the mainstay of a diet. There are some great marinades ... Read More: >>More Details |

I really like this book and do find it inspirational. However, many many of the recipes just can't be made. They take too long, the ingredients are difficult to find or prohibitively expensive.
I still think this book is worth buying though for the remaining recipes that can be made. The cool smoothies, salads, juices and some of the cookies and sweets. >>More Details |

Quite a good book, lots of handy info, well written. Good for someone who is raising a young family and wants to try introducing more raw foods to children. The author is realistic about the problems of going over to a wholly raw diet in Britain, and does her best to experiment with foods that are commonly available in Britain. However, there are some ingredients that are just not available everywhere, so your options will be limited.

Let me start by saying that I had only been following this book's advice for 6 days when I realised I'd lost 2.2 kg -- without weighing and measuring food, calculating points or counting calories, or shrinking my portions into insignificance and feeling deprived. I have, though, had to change the way I look at food, ditch some old habits, and try to ingrain new, healthier habits. Doing so, I have been very pleased with the results.
Overall -- this book advocates 5 levels of eating certain percentages of your daily intake raw or prepared on extrememly low heat. You take a little quiz to determine how raw you can healthily go at the moment, and there is no pressure to go higher up the list until you and your body are ready. Ms Rose does *not* ...

There is no doubt about it - "western style" diets cause heart disease, obesity, cancers, etc. The "dieases of civilisation" as they call them. But how any decent scientist can draw the conclusions they do in the China Study is beyond me.
The idea that animal products cause cancer and other diseases is rediculous. The foods in the Western Diet that cause the cancers, the heart diseases are the highly processed foods that we tend to eat. They are high in sugar or high in sugar and fat (the worst combo there is). They have no nutritional value you to them except empty calories - ice-cream, soft drinks, cakes, pastries, pasta, rice, etc. You can't eat the above types of foods and expect to be healthy. Considering most in the west eat those ... Read More: >>More Details |

First of all, this is a good book with plenty of great recipes and inspirations etc etc etc. However, I find Juliano's technique is best suited to someone who owns a restaurant or at least has nothing else to do all day except prepare food. For someone like me with a full time job, a wife and a child the recipes are completely impractical since a lot of the recipes need to be dehydrated for up to 13 hours and most of them refer to other recipes in the book. You think you're going to spend half an hour making something only to find that the recipe requires a condiment detailed on another page that takes half a day to make.
For example, I decided to make the raw carrot cake. It said "this is the tastiest *20 minute* carrot cake you'll ever blah blah blah...". The first ... Read More: >>More Details |
