Over the last eighteen months or so I've used a lot of raw recipe books, starting with (then-) Kate Wood (now known as Kate Magic) and going to Shazzie and Ani Phyo. Out of all of them, this book is by far the best.
As someone on a fairly limited budget (I'm a student) it's great to see recipes which aren't too costly on the ingredients (unlike Shazzie's books) and which also don't call for dehydrators (in contrast to Kate's minor obsession with them). With nothing more complex than a hand blender and a jar to sprout in, I can quite happily feed myself tasty, filling and uber nutritious raw recipes most days of the week. So if you're just dipping your toes into the lukewarm water of raw foodism for the first time and don't want do dive in at the deep end with a dehydrator and vitamix, this is probably a good place to start.
If you're only going to get one raw book, even just to start out, get then I'd say get this one first, then try one by Shazzie (Detox your World is my favourite) and then Kate when you're more confident in the raw kitchen.
