I loved Sarma's first book, Raw Food Real World, so I was delighted to see she has produced a second. Whilst many don't recommend Sarma if new to raw foods, I find it quite the reverse - Sarma converted me to raw food with her last book, and this one has helped both to re-motivate and re-invigorate my approach in the kitchen. This book is just fine if you are good in the kitchen, but don't buy it if you are not a keen 'cook'. Having said that there are a number of 'simple' dishes, that are quick and easy to put together and a separate section of dishes from the restaurant. I have prepared quite a number of dishes here for entertaining non raw foodists, to gasps of delight. What I like about Sarma is that she is not a raw food fascist and is realistic about what it takes to be a raw foodist in normal life. The only downside to this book is that as ever, in the UK, some of the ingredients are hard to come by. For example, her ice cream base is made from young coconuts, which are almost impossible to get here. Don't let put you off though. The photography is amazing and if I leave it on the coffee table, it always becomes a major talking point for visitors - you will want to eat it all after you see the pictures. The writing is excellent as she introduces her teams both at the restaurant Pure Food and Wine, and One Lucky Duck. You do get to feel that you know them by all by the way it is written.

Delicious recipes that challenge your view on how to eat, what to eat, and the knowledge behind our traditional diets.
I was really inspired by this book, and the way she has written so that each and every reader will be making their own decisions and not forcefully willed into a 'raw-food-existence'. Here she is merely allowing each person to be wiser about their lifestyle, and food choices. You only live one! And you might as well explore variety!

This is the first raw book i purchased. I was curious. I have tried a few salads and smoothies with surprisingly good results. Nice book, good back story and nice photos. One i will use often.

It's not about raw food!
It's not a book about raw food! The author is describing how she opened a restaurant; there are pictures of her (she is obviously in love with herself) and the restaurant staff. Read more
