Eat Smart Eat Raw

by Kate Wood

Raw foods are currently enjoying growing popularity as people discover their healing and health-giving benefits, but raw foodism is more than just a fad - historically many cultures and religions have placed value on the eating of living foods, and proponents have been helping others overcome life-threatening diseases since the early 20th century.

I enjoyed this book for the most part but I sort of hate being bombarded with "dont eat this, or this, or this,or this". I get that theres a list and its meant to help out but like, agh. Just the format of it was bothersome for some reason.

This was interesting. I was thinking about adding more raw recipes to my daily diet and found this gem at the library. It can get a little heavy reading a raw foodist's take on diet and life, but overall I think it's a very healthy diet and I got some good recipes to try... haven't done it yet though!

This is a lovely colourful book however the use of white text on highly coloured pages is making many of the pages almost impossible for me to read. I am sure it is full of useful information but I am only getting snatches of it. Accessibility is clearly not one of the things considered by the publishers.

I really didn't get any new information from this book. I'm sure it would be okay for a beginner of eating raw... I would love to give this a higher rating, but I was mostly bored while reading. :/ And as for the recipes, I feel like once I've looked at a raw "cookbook", I've seen them all and it didn't help that there were no pictures of the food to keep me interested.

Good resource. No pictures with recipes BUT nutritional information a plus. Downside, calories are off the chart! 1347 per slice of PIZZA! Buckwheat, basil, tomatoes,onion, tamari, virgin olive oil, cheese, pasta sauce, veggies, grated cheese. I'll just get Donato's.

Well written, informative, good recipes. WARNING---many of these recipes require a food processor &/or dehydrator.

might make a few things from it. eating raw involves all kinds of kitchen equipment though. i think i'll just stick to some regular fruits and veggies.
