The Raw Transformation Energizing Your Life with Living Foods
The Raw Transformation Energizing Your Life with Living Foods
This visually lively gourmet raw food recipe book provides all the information you need for increasing your health and well-being through a raw foods diet. The recipes will motivate anyone who wants to have more energy, vitality, and abundant health without feeling deprived of their former cuisine. In addition, the book introduces readers to the ways that we can transform our physical bodies and our consciousness through a combination of living foods, yoga, meditation, breath work, and much more.
The first third of the book introduces raw cuisine, giving information on nutrition and the benefits of adopting this lifestyle. It connects raw food to other modalities, to enable the whole process of physical, emotional, and spiritual transformation.
The next two thirds of the book features over 300 raw food recipes that are surprisingly diverse and easy to make. These recipes include entrees such as Indian Vegetable Curry and Pad Thai, desserts such as Banana Coconut Cream Pie, and a wide variety of salads, breads, crackers, side dishes, shakes, smoothies, soups, dressings, marinades, dips, and much more. Unlike many natural foods recipe books, this one uses only familiar, easy-to-find ingredients.
The book ends with a list of sources for blenders, juicers, kitchen gadgets, organic and specialty foods, as well as health retreat centers. It also includes a glossary and recommended reading list.
User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Great RAW book
I sat in Barnes and Noble and read about 10 books on the RAW diet. This book was one of the best. Why?
* Simple recipes
* Colorful pictures - to see how it should look
* Easier and more common ingredients
You will find this book very helpful for these reasons. Many books out there are made with difficult recipes. Others are too complicated for busy people. You are always guessing how they should look when you are finished. And, the ingredients cause you to spend a fortune. This book overcomes these things and gives the average person a chance to succeed with the raw (or mostly raw) diet. Even if you just want to start adding more raw food, to get the enzymes your body starves for, this is a good purchase. Living foods, from a living God, for a living YOU.
This book is great for your health. Include Positive Prayers on CD to help you to build your mind and spirit. Now, you are ready to accomplish your greatest dreams. When prayers go up, blessings come down. I hope this is helpful to you, and you are on the path to a healthier lifestyle.

2 Stars The Raw Mess
I am a raw food and creative food fan but have to say don’t even think of buying this book unless you own a Champion juicer, machete, dehydrator, and a lot of time to find and prepare food (you might, but even then there are better choices than this book). Many of the recipes require extensive lists of ingredients including other recipes in the book. Recipes requiring other recipes are not referenced with page numbers, annoying. For the Festive Thai Salad, you need 19 ingredients including a green Hawaiian papaya, a standard ripe papaya, and two persimmons (not in my Whole Foods…) You will need to find sapotes for the Pumpkin Pie and the Pineapple Pie. Moroccan Hot Sauce needs to be made a week in advance. Sadly even the simple Tahini Dressing was so awful I had to throw it away. If you do have time and ingredients, want a true chef’s perspective, and carefully constructed recipes, check out the Matthew Kennedy books.
2 Stars interesting concept
this is one of the first raw cookbooks i purchased….which led me to quickly purchased several more as this one didnt do it for me. I understand what the photographer was trying to do, but raw food can be soooo beautiful and the photos in this book are like some high school photography class experiment with “natural” light….the recipes are not tastey, and are hard to follow. I reccomend ani phyos book, and several of the ebooks available from Russel James and sunny raw kitchen…truelly user friendly , and suited to all taste buds, even long suffering non raw foodies like husbands!
