About the Author
I am the founder and CEO of PA-RAW-DISE, an organic raw food and ecology company. Our mission is to create more access, education and awareness about the Raw Organic Gourmet Cuisine and how to protect the environment. It is a company that is meant to heal people and the Earth using traditional business models but in a entirely Raw Organic and Eco way. That is healing everything on all levels from within, using the system to heal itself and to return back to nature. I have found it is much more joyful and more success is gained from working within the system to heal and create positive change. Lets use our collective enlightenment and knowledge to manifest the true joy and peace that we know we can! We already are everyday, it has begun and is getting stronger. It all starts with each individual decision and the great transformation is already happening. I see it everyday in San Francisco, in the media and worldwide. I would like people to know about all the very real Raw Organic and Eco choices that they have and how much happiness, joy and vitality that it will add to their lives. I have seen how people blossom into natural leaders and educators, then they help spread the true knowledge and education to others so that they can all benefit. This is my healing mission and path in this life, but I also want to create opportunities for others on the same path so that we can all grow and succeed together in health, wealth and spirit!

Raw inTen Minutes
This book is a good reference for raw food beginners who wish to prepare meals fast that are not complicated and do not require a lot of equipment.

We live by this book
I came back to Amazon to order this book for some friends and saw some negative reviews. So, I thought I would add my two cents. Basically, we live by this book fixing at least one recipe a week. The raw nachos are very ingenious and delicious. It is one of our favorite recipes of all time. I bring them to parties and everyone loves them. The purple cabbage leaves for "chips" and the the "ground beef" are simple and fun.

The frustrating part of the book is that it is riddled with typoes. For example, the "nacho cheese" should have much more water to get the consistency right. But if you know how to cook, these problems are easy to spot.

Brian Au is really doing something different with this book. It really saved us and our raw diet. It can get very tiring doing sprouting, dehydrating, and homogenizing every night. Brian's recipes are delicious and really can be accomplished in 10 minutes.

Creative, delicious raw food with variety
Some of the challenge in being on a vegetarian raw diet is to have variety and creativity and not take hours or days to make. Before this book, my husband and I would have lots of smoothies for lunch and a huge salad for dinner, but it gets boring after a while. I couldn't get my husband to stay on a100% raw diet. We were thrilled to buy Bryan Au's Raw In Ten Minutes. The photos looked very appealing.

The first recipe we tried was Macaroni and Cheese. We both loved it. I didn't make it in under 10 minutes - most likely because it was the first time doing it and I didn't have the right tools - madolin slicer and Blend-Tec Blender. In any occupation, if you don't have the right tools, it just makes it that much harder. I can see, if we are in it for the long haul, both tools would be a good investment. I had made so much Macaroni and cheese that we had enough for 3 more meals - so the 2nd and 3rd meals definitely were less than 10 minutes in preparation.

The second recipe we tried was Pasta Alfredo - again delicious - and so different from the Macaroni and Cheese. If you are coming from a traditional cooked diet, don't get into "Oh, it doesn't taste like the real cooked Macaroni and Cheese or Pasta Alfredo." Be open to the new taste and excellent nutrition you get for being 100% raw. Some people get too attached to the names of a dish.

We tried the Orange Delight Dressing and Sweet Mustard Dressing - both great. If you triple the recipe, this will also reduce your time for future meals.

We tried the Chocolate Chip Cookies and Ginger Cookies. Again, I didn't have the right tools, but it all tasted great in the end. With the ginger cookies, I doubled the amount of ginger, because we really like a strong ginger taste and it proved right - gave us a real kick. Just from the few recipes we tried so far, my husband told me he could be on a 100% raw diet. When we finish all the recipes, I will come back to give more feedback.

By the way, we also have Bryan's DVD: Raw In 10 Minutes. That was really helpful - seeing how it's done. All the recipes he demonstrated on the DVD were less than 10 minutes, plus he gives you additional recipes: Raw Organic Brownies, Pate (or it could be Sate), and Strawberry Cream Pie.

A word on the negative reviews: I think it is healthy to have constructive criticism, but some of those reviews were down right nasty.

Bottom Line: We can't wait to try the other recipes. We gave 4 stars; we wanted to give 4.5 stars, but it wasn't available. We didn't give 5 stars, because there is always room for improvement. Thank you, Bryan for your fabulous contribution to the Raw Food community.
