The Raw Food Primer

This is a delightful, non-itimidating book for anyone wanting to explore raw cuisine. Beautifully illustrated, it also makes a great gift. I have given copies to friends and family members as an introduction to flavorful, energy-packed, unique dishes. The response has been very positive.

As a long time predominantly raw vegan, I am always interested in user-friendly recipes for my ultra busy life. There are two recipes in this book that I can use to impress any type of palate, including my own. The apple pie I have made repeatedly for special get togethers. At a raw gathering in Minneapolis I actually had people introducing me as the one who brought the apple pie. The candied walnuts I made as gifts for family, my mailman, my boyfriend, my co-workers and think I will do it year after year. I am being asked to make and sell them. You must try it to understand. You will need a dehydrator for the walnuts.

I have been a raw foodist for years and I have gone back and forth between many types of eating. This book is perfect for all eating forms. It is health, simple, creative, and extremely tasty. I have eaten at many raw food restaurants and tasted many recipes, they work with the natural elements and it can be difficult to make dishes satifying enough to consider a meal. I can assure anyone who wants to get this book that it will bring you a varity of new favorite recipes. These recipes will be simple, rich, luxurious, and something you can share with everyone, especially your self. Everything you make will be savored and consumed in the most pure fashion.

i love the recipes but i'm also drawn to just flipping through the pages and enjoying the artwork. this is a well crafted and beautiful approach to food.

I am beyond excited about the possibilities of wonderful new, raw foods for summer thanks to "The Raw Food Primer" and the creativity of Chef Suzamme Alex Ferrara. As an artist, I could tell right away that she was an artist, too.Everything about the book is happy, bright and inviting. It told me what I needed to buy to begin and also told me that a lot of the foods I am eating lend themselves to the raw food regime. How exciting!What fun to make "Flying Eggplant Pizzas" and "Raw Raviolis." And, best of all, I am excited about the seed bread and crackers, all deliciously wheat-free.I am shocked that raw could be this good. Hot summer, cold healthy foods, sounds like a plan I'll enjoy.
