One look at my copy of Raw Food Real World and you get a sense of how often It gets used. Pages are splotchy with escaped bits of my recipe creations, some are falling out altogether, others marked up. One of my Favorite!

This man has serious culinary chops and it shows. I dove right in the day it arrived from Amazon.com - Raw pancakes! Raw Chili! Raw "tofu" scramble! This is destined to be a well loved classic in my uncooking library.

I found quite a few that I consider staples in my home - Try the black sesame sunflower bread & sun burger combo. Packed with helpful information and a just a single read through will leave you rawing to go.

Shazzie inspired me to get into this whole raw foodie mess. She's a lady with more energy and good vibing raw power than I can possibly allude to here. Buy her book and check her out @ doxtor.wordpress.com & shazzie.com.

The first half is dedicated to stories of transformation by the raw food diet. The second half is crammed with delicious recipes that replicate many favorite foods. (Quite well I might add) This weighty tome is a steal for the price.

The discovery of "Irish Moss" (a common seawood) has brought the world of raw food desserts to a new level of amazing. With fun titles like "You are Ravishing" and "You are loved", how can you go wrong?

A much more simple everyday approach to dessert. While it may not sail the culinary seas the simple easy and quick desserts are a boon to those of us to busy to labor over too-complex-for-everyday recipes.

This is the book I flip through when I have random stray vegetables or foods left over from other recipes. I kind of consider it the reference book of my raw food library.

Renee no longer eats 100% Raw so this book has both raw and some cooked. Amazing with lots of unique recipes I haven't found anywhere else. Also included are tags to help you browse through the book and find recipes that work for you.

This tropical inspired recipe book always makes me feel like I'm on vacation in Hawaii. I think thats way I love it so much. That and the fact that smoothie & fruit addicts will find more than enough to satisfy their sweet tooth!

I don't drink milk and sometimes I get tired of the same old same old Almond milk standby. Enter this fantastic find. Page after page of delicious alternative milk recipes. I am shocked that this little book doesn't get more love.

I followed Kristens blog @ kristensraw.blogspot.com, and I couldn't wait to get some of her recipes in print. She has a whole series out, so if you like one of these, check out the rest.

This is the first raw food restaurant I took my mom too. I can't wait to recreate the tasty food in my very own kitchen.

This breaks down sample "celebrations" into sections telling the reader everything they will need to do & know in order to successful pull of said "celebration". This is a helpful primer for being the "hostess with the mostess".
