Always great to have a new raw un-cookbook in my book case, but I will likely never make these recipes. Far too many ingredients needed, and I have learned blowing $60 or more on a recipe and hrs of prep for a dish I end up not liking and dumping out is not worth it to me. Simple is always best when you make raw vegan.

I'm not Vegan or Raw, but this book is a wonderful addition to any kitchen. The recipes are easy to follow and offer a variety of different dishes to add to a meal, or enjoy as a meal itself.  We don't need as much meat as we've been taught. Raw Chef Jane shows us how to change up our diets to be healthier with her unique and delicious recipes.  I highly recommend this book for anyone looking to explore raw foods as a steady diet, or as an accompaniment.

I love finding new recipes however, I have a small amount of space to keep cook books, so I often check them out from my library to preview if I want to buy it.  This is a great cookbook!  I recently 'found' Jennie on Instagram and was excited to see what her recipes were going to be like.  No disappointment at all!  Great, healthy recipes that aren't too complicated.  Most are family friendly however there are some that my kids would never eat, but I want to try them anyway.  Her stories are interesting too and the photography is beautiful.  Really a wonderful book and it would make a great gift for anyone that really wants to cook from scratch.  I also like how it includes information on which are gluten-free, dairy-free, etc.

My husband and I are always trying to do what we can to eat healthy. Especially as we get older, we find it makes a big difference in our day to day health if we can eat right.  We've been working with the Nourishing Traditions book which encourages making food from scratch, eating fermented food (yogurt, kefir, etc) and eating about 50% of your food raw, so I was especially interested in learning new ideas, other then salads, for raw food eating.

Fresh was written by brother and sister, Sergei and Valya Boutenko. They have a wonderful story about how, when they were younger, every member of their family was ill. They switched to a raw food diet and everyone got healthier and has stayed healthy on their new eating plan.

The recipes are great. We've tried a number of them, nori rolls, green-o-licous soup and a bunch of the drinks and they are wonderful.
I look forward to working my way through them all. If you're looking to add more healthy food to your diet, this book will help inspire you to do so.

You might just want to pick up a book and make some raw food recipes, hence the "easy" part of the title. A lot of the recipes require soaking of nuts, which takes pre-planning they day before. Now that is not the recipe's fault per say, this is standard in the raw food world, but just FYI in case you are new to raw foods.

Some stand out recipes in this book include:

The Fasting Juice: awesome when you want to detox and clean yourself out. It's decent tasting, and you can definitely do a few days on this stuff. I highly recommend this fasting juice recipe.

Chocolate Mousse: Nice treat for grown-ups, but even your kids will love it! Don't tell your kids it's raw or healthy, just tell them it's chocolate and they'll gobble it down.

The author also does a good job of helping you setup your raw food kitchen. The book is laid out simply, the recipes are written in an easy way to understand.

All in all, this book is a staple for any raw foodist, and a great introduction to anyone interested in adding healthy, living recipes to their family's diet.

I'm so pleased with this new book by Markus and Cara.  I've been doing a lot of raw foods, cleansing, and healing since 2011.  I've acquired quite a few books on the subject, mostly un-cookbooks.  I appreciate the authors' approach to abundance and delicious food, and not depriving oneself of flavor just to eat healthy.  These are recipes that do require prep, a good blender, and some even a dehydrator.  Over the years living this lifestyle I have purchased all those items.  But I don't think that should discourage anyone from buying this book if they don't have some of the tools.  The book still contains simple recipes that can be made quite easily with little prep.  Raw food isn't hard, it just takes a change of mindset.  I think this is a great book if you're even just thinking about adding more raw food to your lifestyle!

It's so refreshing to have a cookbook that is accessible, with ingredients I am able to purchase in my local grocery stores.  What's more, many of these recipes are ones I could tackle on a weeknight and not have to wait for a weekend or special occasion!  I'd love to see more photos of her fantastic recipes.

I am very happy to have an intact copy of a cookbook I have used for almost 40 yrs.  My old one was falling apart!

Bought myself a new copy and gave "old" one to my daughter so she'd have a "standard" cookbook for most everything she'd want to cook! Use all the time!

I know I will love your book that will arrive this coming Friday because I saw her videos for years. I still hope this book will help me to stay track of 100% raw. I often fall off and back on the wagon of raw food diet since I got cancer about 20 years ago. Now I have gained and wanted to take off about 15-20 lbs so hope this 21 days book will help me to stay stable afterward. Thank God to send you on this earth to teach us ALL to stay healthy that is how we should live day by day.

I love Melissa's food.  I can get it at the local natural food stores around here, and my family is addicted.  I was so excited to get a copy of her cookbook!  My favorite recipe is the No Bake No Bake.

This another addition to my favorite style of cooking. I'm currently marking off recipes to prepare. I've made Chef Prudomme's recipes in the past, so I know I won't be disappointed.

Of all the un-cook books I have on eating a high raw diet, I find this one of the best. It has a great variety of recipes and is fun to read. Even if you only eat raw now and again, you can still get a lot of good ideas from this book. Buy this book and it will keep you in new healthy recipe ideas for years. Also check out Mr Meyerowits's book on Juice fasting, I've found it to be one of the best available.

In the interest of honesty, let me begin by saying that I am NOT impressed by authors who publish "raw" recipes .. and then proceed to use their DEHYDRATOR as a cookstove/oven alternative! That is what Ms Mimi does in this book. Now, I did get the book at a good price, and in pristine condition, and the book itself is a high quality product, excellent binding, heavy weight slick paper, photos, interesting recipes... all that... it's just that i cannot get past the part where she brings in the dehydrator to cook/bake the "raw" food. The recipes themselves are not so complex in nature, but the hours the ingredients must spend being bathed in the parching winds of the dehydrator just wearies me to think about when it doesn't have to be that at all. This same author has out a WONDERFUL, slightly smaller, book entitled RAW VITALIZE, and the recipes are a delight, and the meal prep time is negligible, and the taste? ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Magnifique!!!  all the things you hope for in a nicely bound collection of recipes!
Well ... in the end, i suppose it's all about expectations and what you're looking for, and for me the $3 (used/like new) I paid was vastly over-priced for, sadly,  i do not foresee my hand reaching for this volume on a regular basis.

This simple un-cookbook by Jennifer Cornbleet, raw food chef and instruction and graduate of Living Light Culinary Arts Institute, makes preparing delicious raw food in small quantities easy. This book covers the middle ground between simply eating a piece of fruit in its original form and creating elaborate raw gourmet meals. If preparing raw foods seemed to complicated before now, this book is for you.

Recipes are divided into sections for Breakfast (juice, fruit, and cereal), Lunch and Dinner (dips, pates, and savory sauces; soups; salads; salad dressings; sandwiches; entrees; and vegetable side dishes), and Dessert (cakes, cookies, and bars; crisps, pies, and tarts; mousses, puddings, and sweet sauces; shakes and ice creams).

Newcomers to the raw lifestyle will appreciate the glossary, which provides definitions from agave nectar to zest. This is truly a quick-start manual that you can use to start making raw food a part of your everyday life...today!

One of the best all round raw food books, that includes some great recipes.

This is one of the more recent 'text' books on Raw and Living foods.  I bought it after seeing it in nearly every raw foodie's home library!  I asked about it, and was told it was a great starter text, and a very solid addition to any health library too.  After reading it I totally agree and recommend it 100%.

I think if I had to have only two raw food books, I'd add Raw Food and Health, as its the granddaddy of all raw food books, and goes into areas that I have not seen in anyone raw food book.  Both of these books are a complete library!

Eat right!

I love these recipes!  When I first went raw, someone told me about this book and actually showed me how to make many of the cracker recipes!  Even though I own almost all the Raw Food books ever published, this and Calabro's new book, Living in the Raw Gourmet are my favorites.  Having glass jars filled with her wonderful crunchy crackers makes it so easy to stay raw!  The carrot cake is wonderful and anyone, raw or cooked would love it!  Five Stars for this book!!!!
