Another amazing book from Matthew Kenney! Published by Gibbs-Smith Publishing. As always the pictures are impeccable. You will wish you could reach through the page and take a bite! One thing I love about Matthew Kenney’s books is that I get so inspired by his recipes and pictures to experiment. Use his recipes as a jumping board for new recipes.. All I can say is yummilicious!!! Yep I made a new word just for Matthew Kenney! (more…)
I absolutely love this book! The pictures are awesome. I love the step by step instructions. This is a must have for someone just getting into the raw food diet!
Written by Victoria Boutenko and published by North Atlantic Books. This book is not loaded with recipes it is a handle of recipes with step by step instructions and pictures to walk you through making them. (more…)
I am Grateful- Recipes and Lifestyle of Cafe Gratitude is written by Terces Engelhart and Orchid. Published by North Atlantic Books.
I was so excited to get this book. I have been wanting this book for a long time. It was worth the wait. I love learning about how Cafe Gratitude came to be. The book is full of amazing quotes and questions that really get you thinking about living a life of gratefulness. I love the names of the recipes. The day I got the book I read it through that night. I can’t say that about many cookbooks- that I actually read it cover to cover and enjoyed it immensely. I also love how the recipes don’t use a ton of unusual ingredients. They are simple yet delicious. I have made several of their drinks already. I am looking forward to making their pepper jack cheese.. (more…)
This is Elaina‘s first book. It is just as good as book 2. I love Elaina’s style. She is now eating a low glycemic diet and I hear that she is working at remaking all of her recipes to reflect that. I am looking forward to that.
Her recipes are not overly difficult. If you haven’t seen her live then you are missing out- she is a wealth of information but she is not boring! So you will learn alot and enjoy yourself too. (more…)
I love this book! It is chock full of amazing recipes and preplanned menus for us to use. This makes it very easy to host a themed raw food party. There is a Asian Feast menu, Pizza Nite, Mexican Feast, Indian Delights, Mediterranean Foods and more. Even if you are not looking to host a raw food party- we all have those days where we are craving something from a particular cuisine.. “Asian food sounds so good right now!” Yep. I know. That is what I love about this book. When I am craving a particular cuisine I can just pick up this book and find something to nosh on, and have fun in the kitchen. The recipes all look amazing. Make sure to check out her website Pure Joy Planet. Elaina is an amazing raw chef! This book would be a welcome addition to any raw food kitchen. (more…)
