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 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!

Great book for making the transition to raw food eating
Making the transition to raw foods is not always easy since most marketing of foods is geared to eating cooked, processed and packaged foods. Eating raw foods requires a whole new approach to eating and life. This book helps make the transition easier.

There are more good raw food books out there than ever before, but Raw in Ten Minutes is distinct in that the recipes truly are easy and quick to make, without the use of dehydrators. Many of the dishes taste and look as if they took a lot of time to make.

While there is some enthusiastic introductory information in this book, there is not a lot of technical explanation which is, however, available in other raw food books concerning the benefits of eating raw foods, nutritional values, combining flavors and categories of foods, etc. Bryan Au gets straight to recipes that are a sensual feast to see and taste.

One of the first recipes I tried was the Carrot Ginger Soup made with a light miso, which probably takes less than ten minutes to make. Even my children loved this and they are not quick to make the transition to raw food eating. The Spanish Lasagna tastes wonderful, and like all the other recipes is easy to make.

If you don't have too much time but appreciate gourmet meals this is a good book to have around along with the other wonderful raw food books out there.

I also recommend and have used extensively David Wolfe's Sunfood Diet (also with easy recipes); Kenney and Melngailis' Raw Food, Real World (beautiful presentation and perfected recipes); Underkoffler's Living Cuisine, (good information and delicious recipes) Juliano's Raw: The Uncook Book (fantastic, but more complicated recipes); and a wonderful book of mostly easy recipes which I still have from the 1970's by Marcia Madhuri Acciardo called Light Eating for Survival.

Bon Appetit!

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.

Raw mashed potatoes and gravy? Wow!
Raw chef to the stars Bryan Au has written a new cookbook, Raw in Ten Minutes. In it, he's designed recipes that will appeal to the whole family, from the "Raweo Cookie" to "Grilled Cheese."

The concept of this book is so appealing. I love raw cuisine - when someone else prepares it! All the great raw meals I've had have taken hours, sometimes days of preparation for all the soaking and sprouting and dehydrating that goes into them. I was very excited to see a book that gives recipes for preparing raw cuisine - fast. The recipes sound great, but the author does make a lot of assumptions about what the reader already knows how to do. For example, in a recipe for Curried Humus, it calls for "2 cups soaked chickpeas," I'd like to know, how long do I soak them (there is a sentence or two about soaking in the introduction), and what amount of dry chickpeas makes two cups soaked?

Not surprisingly, the raw recipes call for some unusual ingredients that may have to be mail-ordered (Azuki-bean miso, for instance). Also, many of the tools required may not be in a conventional kitchen, like a mandolin slicer and a professional blender.

The color pictures on the front and back cover look delicious. The "mashed potatoes & gravy" and the "nuggets with BBQ sauce" are two of the must-make recipes in the book. Although it is missing two features high on my list for good cookbooks: an index and nutritional information for the recipes, Raw in 10 Minutes does have a useful resources section with books and web sites to help people with raw cooking. Because the recipes seem accessible and tasty, it's a good introduction to vegetarians interested in branching out to raw cuisine.--Amy O'Neill Houck
