Living on Live Food | | Alissa Cohen |
Sometimes, though not often enough, someone comes through and delivers something really special into the raw food scene. On this occasion, and not a moment too soon, it's Alissa Cohen from the USA. Alissa brought to the table Living on Live Food, her first book, and quite literally a work of art inside and out, together with an accompanying DVD set of the same name. Aimed especially at newbies, though of benefit to everyone, the book is huge! It's one of the largest books on raw food ever to come into print. Containing 32 chapters on just about every topic you can think of, such as: It's so easy!; ***** What is raw and living food?; Shopping for raw and living foods; Your raw and living food kitchen; How to start raw today!; Four week shopping and preparation guide; Food combining; Detoxing; Learning to have fun; Testimonials, and much more, it really is essential reading and is worth every penny and more. Indeed, the testimonials flooding in to Alissa daily clearly illustrate how completely do-able a raw food diet has been made - even for people who have tried and given up before. The second part of the book consists of recipes - 254 pages of them - covering all manner of dishes including appetizers, side dishes, dips and spreads, breads, "cheeses", chips, soups, sauces and condiments, entrees, salads, desserts and drinks. ***** The great thing about these recipes is that they're not so simple as to be boring, but not so complicated that you won't be bothered to attempt them! Sitting perfectly balanced in between the two, these dishes are everyday good wholesome filling raw delights that anyone can do, including children. ***** There are great photos of Alissa going about her everyday life (she looks a radiant picture of health), as well as inspiring food photos of some of her recipes.

The Raw Food Gourmet: Going Raw for Total Well-Being | | Gabrielle Chavez, Foreword by Victoria Boutenko |
The phrase "raw foods" conjures images of food as punishment — think uncooked carrots and celery, with perhaps a spinach juice cocktail as a chaser.

Gabrielle Chavez explains how to use the wide range of fruits, nuts, grains, vegetables, spices, and seasonings for delicious, healthy — and healing — dishes. In addition to current information on raw foods’ nutritional value and success as an alternative for people with food allergies and disorders, The Raw Food Gourmet takes readers on Chavez’s personal journey as she discovers the physical, emotional, and spiritual benefits of this diet.
