Amazing recipes, beautifully illustrated and a fantastic book for those recipes for special occasions. Though I have to say that living in Spain, I do have a problem getting some of the ingredients especially young coconuts which seem to be in a lot of the recipes. Also he uses a lot of the ingredients, so they are expensive to make.
But all in all a lovely book to have.

This is fantastic for those who want to serve dinner party quality food and remain true to their raw food preferences. It is also a great book for showing you how incredibly imaginative raw food can be. The recipes can be used on their own or incorporated with some cooked foods to meet everyones needs. It's a wonderful way to introduce raw food to the uninitiated without them realising what they are eating! This is useful as quite a few people believe they 'don't like raw food'. A good book for those who use raw food and want to improve the food presentation. You will however need a dehydrator for quite a few of the recipes.

Excellent Book
6 May 2009
Format:Hardcover
I own both of Matthew Kenney's other raw food books and love them both (especially "Everyday Raw") so I didn't hesitate to purchase this one when it came out. It's way better than I imagined, he has taken raw foods to new dimensions. Nothing else like it is out there, he is truly a genius when it comes to food. This is not a book for a beginner as it assumes you know most of the basics. If you are new to this style of food preparation, I would purchase a basic book first, or purchase one in addition to this book. If you're already familiar with basics like dehydrating and sprouting nuts, then don't hesitate!
Most of the recipes take some time to prepare, however the results are spectacular and will impress anyone and everyone. Some of the recipes are quick and easy, and are still very special, but the more advanced ones are just too intriguing to pass up. The recipe for "Roasted Sweet Pepper Soup" alone is worth the price of the book. The book is filled with great breads, ethnic foods, deserts, and everything in between. A few of the recipes use hard to find ingredients, but most of the recipes use readily available foods. My only complaint with the book is that instead of the more familiar chapters cookbooks usually have, the book is organized into seven areas of interest such as "Contemporary, Inspiration, and Spice". I would prefer to be able to go to one chapter and browse all appetizers, or another chapter for soups, etc. Buy it and Enjoy it!!!

Brilliant

Format:Hardcover
It's simply brilliant. I could eat the cinnamon ice cream every day til I die. The sweet pea flan is amazing. I did not find the recipes to be ridiculously complicated. My only criticism is in regard to the consistency as to the use of irish moss (big whopee). Buy the book. You will not regret it. I normally do not write reviews, but I feel compelled due to the shock I experienced when reading that it was averaging 3 stars. I think not! If I met the man I might just have to kiss him. It's brilliant.

Impractical Food Porn
12 Aug 2009
Format:Hardcover
I loved Matthew Kenney's first solo raw book, Everyday Raw and his collaborative Raw Food Real World. Both were accessible for beginners, interesting enough for experienced gourmets and experienced raw fooders and contained great information and interesting style of writing. This book was a sore disappointment. The recipes are so involved, I don't even feel like trying them and I LOVE being in the kitchen. Nothing wow'd me on paper enough and I haven't opened it again since purchasing it and reading it cover to cover. I am sure there are some gem components in those recipes that are versatile, but honestly I haven't been compelled to drag it out and find them. Everyday Raw is a much better buy and some of the recipes in that back re-appear in Entertaining in the RAw with a new name and minor ingredient changes, which I think is such a cop-out. Anyone ready for this level of food preparation would be quite comfortable making changes and substitutions on their own. Great photos though...total food porn in that way.
