A great mostly raw vegan cookbook with a section for some healthy cooked whole food vegan meals as well. As a gluten free vegan, I can make almost anything in this book. I like that a lot of the recipes don't take too much time and have a lot of common ingredients. As someone who is vegan and trying to eat healthier, this cookbook is ideal and has some great meals.

The recipes in this book aren't very special, quite basic. It has beautiful photography though!

First, let me say I have Emily's other two cookbooks & I think they are great. Her dessert cookbook is my favorite of the two. I use it weekly.
This one however fell a little short for me.
I have been counting down the days till it came out & I bought it the day it did.
The pictures are great & almost all the recipes look yummy enough but they are just a little basic.
This book would be great for a beginner cook.
Most recipes don't have many ingredients, which is good & bad. Good because it makes them simple, bad because most of these I could have thought up myself.
One recipe for example is just carrots, kale, water, miso, pasta & garlic. Another is just sweet potatoes, tahini, lemon juice, & pepper. I guess I just don't think of these as "recipes". Or at least "recipes" I wanna pay for.
A lot of the recipes are just a few "main" ingredients & then a dressing.
There are a few things that I am really excited to try though. Like the pizza. That looks amazing. And a lot of the bowls look promising. I will probably use a lot of these recipes as inspiration or a starting off point.

Not as many great recipes as this author leans toward veganism rather than raw veganism, but will try the few I saved.

Great recipes

Good recipe variety using some of the same foods so I don't have to run back and forth to the store

First let me start by saying that I am a huge fan of the author. Emily von Euw is responsible for my green smoothie habit. Her Rawsome Vegan Baking: An Un-cookbook for Raw, Gluten-Free, Vegan, Beautiful and Sinfully Sweet Cookies, Cakes, Bars & Cupcakes is everything I want in a cookbook. Not only do the recipes look great but even more importantly, they inspire me to create me own recipes following her ideas and hints. That said, this particular cookbook was a little tiny bit of a letdown. Mostly because the desserts were so terrific in the first book. It would have been hard to live up to that benchmark. Whereas I would recommend her first cookbook to everyone, regardless of their eating habits, this one is perhaps best for those specifically looking for vegan recipes.

Not sure how much I'll use this cookbook. Many of the recipes call for ingredients not readily available to me or which are unfavourable in my household. But I really like how Emily von Euw writes and photographs her recipes and I'm pleased to have supported her work!

I received The Rawsome Vegan Cookbook as a birthday gift. We have enjoyed the recipes we have tried and I think this one will become one of my staple cookbooks.
