New to raw food, this book is a great introduction. I like that there are MANY chefs who contributed and they share their stories as well. There are tons or recipes and helpful tips for both the new and seasoned raw food enthusiast.

I was very dissapointed in this book and I actually returned it. There were hardly any photos and when there were photos, the receipe was on a different page. Very hard to follow. The book felt extremely boring for my taste.

An all-in-one book. Gives background info which is simple to understand, has MANY recipes, explanations and helpful info/websites.

If you wanted just one raw food book. This is it. It gives explainations and a varity of recipes. Then you can look at other raw books by the chefs whose recipes you enjoy.

I just received my copy of The Complete Book of Raw Food and I love it already! I am new to the raw food movement but very interested in it. I looked around for a book that would be informative but too intimidating and this one definitely caught my eye! In the beginning there are explanations on different preparation methods and things you should know about being raw vegan if you so choose it. Very, very informative and not coming from a judgmental place, if that makes sense. The recipes have varying skill levels which is great for a beginner like me! Overall, I have a feeling this book will get a lot of use in my kitchen!
