 Don't waste your money September 30, 2008

I've read and prepared recipes from at least 6 raw cookbooks that are on the market - and this is by far the worst. It's not much more than a vanity piece that is low on nutritional content, low on key information on raw food prep or flavor variety. But then again, she was trained by Juliano - not a surprise!
 Positive, encouraging vibe September 20, 2008

I'm convinced that eating raw, live foods is the path to optimal health. Perhaps not exclusively, but the more raw foods you consume, the more energetic and less sickly you are likely to be. Having said that, I have approached many books on preparing raw foods and recipes which have struck me as either a tad goofy or too dehydrator-(or equivalent)dependent and therefore off-putting. Ani's book is inspirational and straightforward. The kitchen, for me, is an intimidating place; though I know that we should all let our food be our medicine, and our medicine be our food. In light of that assertion, this book is just what the doctor ordered. It's encouraging, the recipes are straightforward and, quite frankly, doable on the first go, which with any "cook"book is a huge plus. The tone is also agreeable and light- not at all exclusive or elitist. Hope this helps.
 Thank you Ani! September 15, 2008

Thank you Ani!
This is the best raw food book I've bought so far. It's so good and easier to make your food than other recipes I've found. Also, I have four wonderful rescued dogs, and I loved reading the section about Kanga! She's so beautiful!
If you publish another recipe book, I want it immediately!

Raw Cookin' makes Healthy Livin' easy... September 12, 2008
0 out of 2 found this review helpful
This was a very good cook-book. What I like most about it is that each recipe starts with a basic "base" that you can experiment with to develop your own recipies. For example, I learned how to make completely vegan milk-shakes that taste almost as good (I think better) than the real thing off a base of dates, nuts, and water. Then you just add whatever flavour fruits, chocholate, vanilla, etc. to the base and voila, you invented your own drink!
There are lots of great recipies for sauces, soups, main courses, breakfast dishes, and of course dessert. The one thing is that, I feel, Ani reccomends too much oil in her recipies; but just use your discretion when using her recipies. Enjoy!
If you don't know about the benefits of Raw cooking, they are many and great! 1. When you digest food, you need to use water. If the water is in your food (because it is raw) then you don't need to take water out of your body to digest the food. 2. When you cook food, you "de-nature" the molecules of the food. All this means is when you heat the food, the molecules of the food change shape; this should be obvious because food looks and tastes differenlty after it is cooked. As a species, human beings have been digesting raw foods WAY longer than we've been cooking foods, as such our systems react better to food molecules when they are in their natural state. When you eat raw foods, both of these aspects combine to give you AMAZING amounts of energy that I know for a fact you don't even realise that you are missing until you try eating a raw diet. I know this for a fact because I used to eat cooked food and after one day, ONE-day, of eating nothing but raw food (including raw mana-bread, which is better than it sounds) the change in my system was instantanious and undeniable.
