Living in the Raw--Recipes for a healthy lifestyle
Living in the Raw is the book that has helped me to leap into the world of raw foods! I browsed the book daily for a month before I actually started the raw food way. Then I made a list of what I would need to get started (and there are clues in the book on how to set up a raw food kitchen). Rose has lots of tips on how to ease your way in to raw foods which I found very helpful. I now have been following the Rose's recipes for four months, and I have dropped about 25 pounds--a bonus that I wasn't expecting!!

Living Foods 101 in a beautiful book with wonderful recipes!
Transitioning to a 100% live foods lifestyle, I was looking for a book to help me in the kitchen. It can be a bit intimidating when one is used to cooking and baking everthing. Rose Lee is an inspiration with her own healing and then shares her knowledge on nutrition, enzymes, and raw foods preparation. The first meal I prepared was amazing!! My husband loved it! Delicious, appetizing, nutritious, and RAW!! I highly recommend this book for anyone transitioning to a live food diet or anyone searching for health.

An "expert" ?? NOT!!!!
This book is probably not the best there is in the world of raw foods. What I like about the book is the simple, everyday language, ease of reading the recipies and the usage of very common, easy to find ingredients.

What I didn't like was:
The recipies were very redundant; I can't eat bananas so that nearly eliminates a huge portion of the dishes. Within each category she just rearranges all the same ingredients. Not real creative.

Since when hummus, stuffing, or salsa a main dish? The Pasta Mexicana contains no pasta. Why call it that? The Dessert section is 66 pages long, the Main Dish section is 35 pages. I usually eat many more main dish items that dessert. I don't intend on making that many pies and cookies.

She lived on raw foods for under 2 years then wrote a book with no other experience in cooking or nutrition. She's not real high on the list of credible advisors.
