Heavy on the pics, light on the science by M. Wilson
This book is good for the pics. I have not tried any recipes yet. The equipment is way too expensive and out of my budget for the next few months. They look good though!
Shannon is very light on the science. All the raw food books in the bookstore (Barnes and Noble, Borders) make the claim that ‘we need enzymes to help digest food’ (page 3). The human stomach contains an acid that aids in digestion. This acid would render the live enzymes inactive therefore defeating the purpose of eating raw food for the enzymes! I agree that incorporating more foods in their natural state is beneficial, but this raw food movement needs to have a registerd dietician write a book, then I will believe all the hocus pocus.
A Must Have for Anyone “Raw” by P. E. Wolanski
Excellant book for those new and learning about raw foods and nutrition. Excellent resource with information about food combining, Tools, Basics, Sprouting, Storage, etc. The recipes require a little more than handful of ingredients but that is what the “Gourmet” title suggests. If you don’t care for the elaborate recipes, get it for the wealth of infomation it contains as a raw food resource.
Easy and tasty recipes! by M. Lilleoks
This book has really good recipes and also some valuable information about sprouting and digestion times.
I use this book all the time. Nice pictures too!
A Classic by Anne P. Kaspar
Nomi Shannon, one of the first “seerers” to embrace wholly the raw foods, living foods lifestyle, after attending a session at the Hippocrates Health Institute, and then working and educating there, has gifted us all with one of the best living foods recipe books ever written.
“The Raw Gourmet” is the standard by which all else are measured, in my opinion, still.
Easy to follow, with recipes that not only delight the palate, but the purse and time allowance, and offer incredible images so one can actually see how splendid the meal will look as well, Nomi has captured the beauty and ease of raw, living foods for us.
A well-known proponent of natural health and healing, as well as a certified Hippocrates Health Educator, Nomi is an expert upon whom I have relied much over the last ten years of my own living foods lifestyle. I always highly recommend “The Raw Gourmet” to my clients as well.
