My Favorite New Un-Cookbook: The Everything Raw Food Recipe Book
I got a 40% off Border's coupon in my e-mail so I buzzed down there to pick up this little jewel of a book. On the outside it is an unassuming book with no pictures inside. Usually I am a huge fan of pictures but I had skimmed through this book at B&N before. I was so excited at it's easy, delicious, different recipes. I am all for easy and few ingredients so I picked it up on my birthday.
The Everything Raw Food Recipe Book is filled with 300 versatile, easy recipes that are sure to please even the beginner Raw food uncook. My first recipe that I tried was the Pesto Kale Chips. I jotted down the recipe the first time I skimmed through the book and I have been making them ever since. They taste just like sour cream and onion potato chips to me, yum!
Here are some examples:

I'm a big fan of pictures but I'm noticing that most of the raw books I've found don't have many. Getting used to using my imagination :) Going to check my local bookstores for this one! I need some inspiration. Thanks for sharing!
Yes, they are a bit lacking n the picture area Kareen. This one is better on that front because the recipes are simple so it's easy to picture what it will look like : ) Enjoy!!
I purchased this book in the early spring and i've used it countless times :) It's a great purchase, there are just so many recipes you can choose from!

People always think new ways of eating, like vegan, which we're big on, are gross and without variety. There are SO many yummy things to eat on a raw, clean, veggie or vegan diet. This cookbook looks like a yummy source for that. I may have to check it out. Especially because I've been looking for some new and yummy, high protein recipes for the school year.
It's my favorite one so far Jess and I have LOTS of books : )
