I want to eat healthier so I thought I would try this book but nothing in flipping through the pages appealed to me and most of the recipes required a food dryer or ingredients a meat and potatoes person wouldn't have but it looks like a great book for the right person.
Fresh: The Ultimate Live-Food Cookbook
I love this recipe book, I always wondered how to get more nuts and seeds into my family in a yummy way. I was happy to see they have nut/seed milk recipe's using 1-2 CUPS of them at a time!! The info and PICTURES of wild greens are awesome, and Vayla's information/tips about feeding children was great! Made a pizza recipe and it only lasted as long as it took us to eat it all!!! Sooooo goood!!! Good salads, good soup, all so good, and includes simple instructions for fermented foods too!!
Totally enjoying this book, the only improvement I can imagine is making it spiral bound for easier access when following the delicious recipes!
This was my first raw food cookbook I purchased. It had a good introduction and I liked the personal stories of the authors. Some of the recipes were great and others were not so good for a first time raw cooker (who had eaten cooked food for 28 years). Some of the recipe require an acquired taste. But overall, I got some good ideas from this book.
