Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

"Gourmet raw cuisine"--if that sounds like an oxymoron, you'll be amazed by the creativity of the recipes in this book. Every food is "live" (uncooked) in these vegetarian recipes from Juliano, the raw food guru of Los Angeles. Juliano believes that fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, beans and seeds in their rawest and purest form are the most nourishing foods. If your imagination stops at alfalfa sprouts and grated carrots, hold onto your cutting board. Juliano's recipes include Butternut Squash Soup, New Moon Fruit Stew, Thai Green Papaya Salad, Living Buckwheat Pizza Crust, Mango Essene Bread, Mock Salmon Sushi, Raw Spring Rolls, seven varieties of burritos, nine varieties of pizza and nine unusual smoothies. Desserts? Try EZ Pudding (made with maple syrup, avocados and carob powder) or Cashew Gelato (cashew butter, maple syrup and almonds, served frozen). There are also condiments, dressings and sauces, and plenty of information about preparing raw foods, including how to soak and sprout beans, grains, seeds and nuts.

It may seem like cheating, but a food dehydrator is permitted to "bake" pizza, cookies and breads. It blows hot air, but never heats foods hotter than 120 degrees F, which, claims Juliano, "allows all the delicate nutrients that are usually burned out of cooked foods to remain intact." Raw is filled with gorgeous colour photos of the foods in all their vibrant colours and a number of photos of the vibrant Juliano (not in the raw). "Before you know it," says Juliano, "you'll be Raw and loving it." --Joan Price, Amazon.com

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Raw Recipe Book Ever!!, 21 May 1999
By A Customer
For a 100% raw-food eater such as myself, this book is a gourmet godsend. It's also a great introduction to raw/living foods for people who want to be able to eat healthy but still feel decadent.

You could eat most of the luscious desserts in the book three meals a day and be eating healthier than 99% of the people on the planet!

It's much more imaginative than any other raw recipe book I've read (and I've read most), and with it's big color pictures, it's sure to delight.

FIVE BIG PHAT STARS!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great! But complicated, 31 May 2007
I love this food and the recipes are great but beware that this type of cuisine requires a lot of expensive equipment purchases, such as a juicer and dehydrator. Also, some of the dishes have over a dozen "ingredients", many of which, are full-page recipes themselves. I have more than once found myself lost in the complications especially when there are 7 or more "recipes" for one dish -- and I am an advanced cook with chef training.

Another thing to be aware of is the time and planning. You can't just say "hmmm I would really like falafel burritos today" totally out of the blue, and then make it. The prep time for sprouting and soaking starts 3 or 4 days ahead of time. But this is really a critique of the cuisine and not of the book itself.

One more caveat is that you may have trouble finding some of the ingredients, especially if you don't live near a city that supports many varieties of ethnic groceries. I have been completely unable to find kaffir lime leaves, black cumin or sun dried lime and have had to order these online.

If you are a raw-foody convert and willing to spend the time, money and planning involved in this "lifestyle". I say lifestyle because that is what this food discipline requires. If that is the case, you will enjoy countless hours of bliss preparing and enjoying these wonderful recipes.

If you are new to the kitchen, I would recommend some food preparation training before attempting it, especially before making the investment in the books and equipment.

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful book with great information!, 26 May 1999
By A Customer
This truly is the most beautiful "cookbook" I have ever come across. I am new to raw foods and I especially liked Juliano's gentle approach. He seems to have such a love for preparing food that his excitment rubs off on the reader. The recipes are easy to follow and easy to adapt, if need be. The book is loaded with information and hints on everything from stocking the kitchen to how to sprout beans. In the week that I have had the book, I have already prepared several recipes and tonight got up the courage to prepare his "Pasta Marinara" with the most amazing sauce! I only needed a knife, a vegetable peeler, and a blender to prepare this gourmet meal. Quite a treat for a busy stay-home mother of toddler twins! I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves to enjoy truly good food.
