The Raw Truth: The Art of Preparing Living Foods

by Jeremy Safron

Jeremy Safron has been a pioneer of the raw foods movement for the past decade. His two world-renowned Raw Experience restaurants were valued not only for their creative menus, but also as networking and education centers for the global raw foods movement. The recipes that Safron made famous at Raw Experience can now be made in your own kitchen with THE RAW TRUTH, a down-to-earth, no-fuss guide to making delicious, hearty, proud-to-be-raw cuisine. 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. An earlier edition of THE RAW TRUTH has been a favorite in health food stores for years and has sold 10,000 copies.

The Cranberry Sauce is really yummy!

[Hannah · Rating 3 out of 5]

Really good looking recipes, great guides to sprouting, blending, juicing, etc, and decent information about why raw food is good for you, what the different categories of food are, etc. However, the writing is SO OBNOXIOUS. I'd like to live a healthy lifestyle without reappropriating the yinyang and without pseudo spiritualism ("This food's element is Fire, because it is energizing." "Food made with anger is will never help your body."). Just give me the facts, please. Also, on a personal level it was not the most helpful of books because it relied a lot on coconut, soy-based foods, and what-based sprouts, and I can't eat any of those things. I probably should have spent a little more time finding a thicker, more scientific raw foods book, but I had to pee.
