Book: The Raw Food Gourmet

Softcover 199 pages

From the back of the book:

"Going Raw is not a fad. it's favour to yourself and the conscious choice to embrace health and optimise your life. The gourmet recipes and meal ideas here show that far from taking away familiar pleasures, raw foods can match them plus bring new excitement to your diet. Raw foods give the full complement of needed nutrition, and they have become a happy alternative for people with allergies or eating disorders. Perhaps the most surprising benefit from raw foods is that you will feel terrific - physically energised and spiritually renewed. 

Featuring 150 'rawsome' recipes, from appetisers and snacks to feast foods and desserts, Chavez describes what you can create with the wide range of fruits, nuts, grains, vegetables, spices, and seasonings that make up the repertory of raw foods. Along with information on ingredients and preparation, she shares stories of her own voyage discovering the joys of un-cooking. Even those who can't imagine eating only raw foods will find irresistible recipes here.
