Raw Food Made Easy: For 1 or 2 People

I've been reading about raw foods for years and acquired several books and recipes on-line. I attended the author's demonstration at Karyn's. Unlike some (not all) raw foodists, she looked very healthy and was amiable and non-judgemental. I must use this cookbook 3-4 times a week. I may have to buy a new copy because it is getting so dirty! I have made smoothies, salads, desserts and even actual entrees. With other cookbooks I might have made a smoothie or a soup here or there, with this one I'm creating full raw food courses meals. The zuccinni pasta is great as is the raw chocolate flourless cake and the blueberry tart is genius. It's nice to be able to make things for yourself vs. having to buy them from raw food restaurants (which I'm lucky to be near two). Since I have bought this book I have eaten more raw foods than ever before. I think the author is smart to realize that if the raw food trend is going to catch on, it needs to relate to busy people and communicated in a pleasant, non-preachy way. I can't wait for the next book she writes!

Just like it says it is very easy. The recipes are for small quantities so you can try something out without having to eat it for days (there are just two of us) and so far every recipe we've tried has been outstanding. Made the apple crisp for my husband's birthday and he couldn't believe how delicious it was (neither could I). Tasted just like a cooked crisp without the cooking! This has quickly become our favorite recipe book and if you are just trying out the raw food scene this would be a perfect book to start with. She even lists items you need in your kitchen and a complete shopping list of foods to have on hand. Best of all for people just starting out (which we aren't, but we do sponsor a raw potluck with lots of beginners) is that it has a listing of menus. Would recommend if there are two of you that you double most of the recipes, especially if you have a hearty appetite. This is definitely a two thumbs up book!

I LOVE Jenny's new book! I have dozens of raw foods books, but this is the only one that makes raw foods cooking successful for me (and my family). The prep time that other books require is what has historically overwhelmed me (I work 80 hours per week) and this book requires virtually none of that. So far, we have fallen in love with Walnut Pate Sandwich, Garden Vegetable Soup, Spinach Apple Soup, Zucchini Hummus, and Brownies. As we try others, I'm sure we'll love them all! This is the book that will change our lives and I HIGHLY recommend it!
