By far my favorite raw book~
Alissa Cohen's book is hands down my favorite raw book...both for the informative and uplifting approach to the raw way of life and the fantastic recipes. Her upfront and do-able explanation of how to live a healthy and vibrant life on raw, emzyme-rich foods is a godsend to people both exploring their options and gathering info on raw foodism and those living the raw lifestyle. Her program is all about abundance.
I have ordered a number of things from Alissa including the book, DVD and spiral slicer among other things and have been wonderfully satisfied with the service provided and the positive goodness of she and her staff. Alissa's whole approach to life and the raw food community is one of completely positve light, energy and support. I would highly recommend her book/dvd AND her approach to raw foodism for a healthy, glowing life.

BEST raw & live food book ever!
alissa has done an amazing job!! i own all the major raw food books available. but Alissa has topped them all! this is not just a recipe book - although the dishes are delicious. but it is truly a guide to how to evolve into a living foods healthy life. too many other authors are fanatical or extremists concerning raw foods. Alissa has a direct, simple, and practical approach that makes it ok to start wherever you are at. and she delivers all the necessary tools and info to do so. the recipes are fantastic! my wife and use Alissa'a recipes on a daily basis to make great and satisfying meals. i wish i could give this MORE than 5 stars! by the way, i also HIGHLY recommend Alissa'a DVD. it has a variety of dishes that she shows you how to prepare. and it is easy to follow. definitely get it with her book and you'll be well on your way!

Great way to start Raw
This was one of the first books I got when I started going raw about a month ago (by the way, I have lost close to 15 lbs since going raw, and I haven't even had time to do much exercising yet). The other book had gourmet recipes, but what I love about this book is that it has a lot of basic information. There is a sprouting guide and lots of info on how to eat raw. There are also a lot of basic recipes - cheeses, breads, crackers, even whipped cream - that can help you transition. I have only tried a few recipes in the book, but so far, they have been great (I love the chocolate turtles). The only negative I have found so far is that the recipes don't give the number of servings, and since it is always best to eat it right away, it would be nice to know if it needs to be split before making it.
