Product Description
Product Description
WARNING: The raw food recipes in this book are so delicious they may change your life!
The phrase 'raw foods' conjures up images of food as punishment—think uncooked carrots and celery, with perhaps a spinach juice cocktail as a chaser. However, uncooked doesn’t have to mean unappetizing, as this combination cookbook and guide to the raw foods lifestyle shows. Gabrielle Chavez explains how to use the wide range of fruits, nuts, grains, vegetables, spices, and seasonings for delicious, healthful—and healing—dishes. Anytime entrees from Stuffed Portabellos with Mushroom Gravy to Thai Hazelnut Pesto are here, along with seasonal treats like Halloween Soup and basics such as Simple Sweet Bread, with ingredients expressed in both metric and American measurements. In addition to current information on raw foods’ nutritional value and success as an alternative for people with food allergies and disorders, The Raw Food Gourmet takes readers on Chavez’s personal journey as she discovers the physical, emotional, and spiritual benefits of this diet.

Format:Paperback
Gabrielle Chavez brings a sensible approach to eating for wellbeing.
Her information is succinct, and the recipes are delightful. Who can resist cake for breakfast! My husband is the victim to his own eating habits, and recently was diagnosed with diabetes. After I purchased this book and left it out for him to "accidentally" pick up, he tried to sell me (already on the way to raw living) on going raw several times a week!
That is the greatest feeling to have someone who was not in the least interested in trying this way of life, and food, suddenly begin to preach to the choir!
My children have also taken to Raw Gourmet, and enjoy making some of the smoothies, and really enjoy making the dehydrator buscuits.

A Great Place to Start
19 May 2006
Format:Paperback
This book was a great help as I started out on my raw adventures. It contains a number of easy to follow recipes which have become staples in my diet. My only problem with this book is that the table of contents is not intuitive making it hard to refer back to recipes. You need to remember that the name of that Kale dish you like is "Disappearing Kale" and won't be found in the index under K but D. If the author does a second edition PLEASE make finding recipes easier! Thanks. Note: This book has no pictures (for that try The Raw Gourmet by Nomi Shannon which is excellent). You should also be aware that many of the recipes call for the use of a food dehydrator which is a great machine but not cheap.

"rawsome" book!
24 Mar 2006
Format:Paperback
I like this book a lot, because it's well-written and unpretentious. There isn't any overhyped raw food propaganda or glossy photos of the author-- just recipes, and helpful advice for becoming and staying raw. Possibly the best part is the recipes contain ingredients you can actually pronounce AND find in stores.
