The Raw Food Gourmet: Going Raw for Total Well-Being

I love this cookbook! It was very difficult to imagine giving up cooked/processed foods like Mac & Cheese, or pizza, but this cookbook offers many ways to satisfy cravings! The recipes are super-easy, and tasty too!

This is an excellent resource for anyone wishing to learn and begin following a Raw food diet. With easy to make recipes and just enough background on the Raw food, healthy living regime for beginners and long time Raw fooders. I highly recommend this book for every Raw food gourmet library!

This book is filled with numerous recipes that have become staples in my diet. It is a simple book, but it is obvious that the author is sharing tried and true recipes that are both nutritious and delicious. The book contains useful general tips about the raw lifestyle (especially tips for traveling) but the recipes are the real stars. Try the "grawnola" and your breakfast will never be boring again! This is a wonderful book by a sincere and talented author. It's definitely one of the best raw recipe books I've found.

I like this book a lot, because it's well-written and unpretentious. There isn't any overhyped raw food propaganda or glossy photos of the author-- just recipes, and helpful advice for becoming and staying raw. Possibly the best part is the recipes contain ingredients you can actually pronounce AND find in stores.

Gabrielle Chavez's book, The Raw Gourmet, brings a new dimension to the subject of raw cuisine! The information is direct, well researched, and presented in a fashion that is appealing to those new to the concept of "Going Raw" as well as to those who have already had the pleasure of indulging in Raw Delights! Her recipes lead to a delicious discovery of taste and texture, without guilt or guile! A great gift that anyone regardless of eating choices and cooking styles can and will enjoy!
