This recipe book is based on a philosophy of reverence and respect for nature and a desire to eat in accordance with what nature intended. Many of the recipes are raw, many others are uncooked, and some are minimally cooked. Every recipe is vegan whole food plant-based, gluten-free, SOS-free, kosher, halal, cholesterol-free, and nutritarian. Most abide by the principles of Natural Hygiene and the 80-10-10 Diet (in fact, this book was endorsed by the author of The 80-10-10 Diet, Dr. Doug Graham, on its back cover). This book contains over 80 recipes (some are compound recipes), each with a full page color image of the completed dish. It is constructed with the recipe on the left page and the photo of the completed dish on the right page so that you can set the book up in your kitchen, open to the recipe you're making, and never have to turn a page with messy fingers. Every recipe has step-by-step instructions, and most have multiple photos, demonstrating each step. Every recipe was designed to be beautiful, as well as delicious and highly nutritious. The photography of the food is gorgeous enough to make this book a coffee table display piece as well as a functional cookbook. Chef B has been studying nutrition for most of her life. She's been preparing healthy high-raw vegan food for over 30 years, and attended culinary training under Chef Matthew Kenney. She also holds her certificate in Plant-Based Nutrition from Cornell under T. Colin Campbell. She founded and developed recipes for Vegan Health & Fitness Magazine from 2012-2020. This is her first cookbook, and it is a long-time coming. You will find recipes that are fast and easy, and recipes that qualify as gourmet and innovative. The smoothie, smoothie bowl and salad recipes are next-level beauties that combine flavors in new ways that are a pleasure for all of the senses. But this cookbook goes beyond what you expect from healthy food. A common response to this book is, "I didn't know you could do that vegan (or raw)!" Examples include scallops, shrimp, fried mushroom drumsticks, calamari (this is vegan, oil-free and raw), donuts, pies, and burgers. Even the zoodle section does things you've probably never seen before. There are cheeses, crackers, Pad Thai and cinnamon buns, all done with nothing but the highest-quality natural, healthy ingredients. This book was designed to demonstrate that life is about enjoying nature's bounty, with all the pleasure you crave and none of the guilt, bloating, digestive issues, body fat, and diseases that the junky fake foods bring. This is real food done right, and there is nothing better for your body, mind and soul. The lesson is trust in the wisdom of nature and you will thrive and enjoy life more fully.
