Editorial Reviews:

One of Canada’s hottest restaurants puts a Fresh spin on vegetarian cuisine!

Toronto’s Fresh restaurants are consistently rated as among the most popular restaurants in the city. Appealing to vegetarians, vegans and those who enjoy meatfree meals as part of a healthy diet, Fresh has evolved from a humble juice bar into a chain of three dynamic and gorgeous downtown restaurants.

reFresh is a new edition of Ruth Tal’s first book, Juice for Life (Wiley 2000, 978-0-7715-7690-4). Completely revised and updated, reFresh offers the reader a sumptuous selection of the best recipes found on the restaurant’s menu today, all in a gorgeous full colour package that reflects the award-winning style and design of the restaurants themselves.

New in this edition:

Over 100 of the latest recipes from the three Fresh restaurants
A fresh new design that calls attention to the health benefits of various menu items
Information on nutritional supplements that can be incorporated into the recipes for an added boost!
Up-to-date information on buying and using a juicer at home
A complete recipe index
A new foreword by renowned chef Susur Lee

Summary: Beautiful Book, and it's Useful
Comment: I love this cook book, it's beautifully made, the pictures are excellent. The recipes aren't so bad either. I love the recipes for the vegetable and fruit juices, I don't have a juicer, but I had been weighing the pro's and con's of getting one and this book tipped me in the right direction.

Summary: Y.U.M.M.Y!
Comment: Great cookbook! A book full of delicious, fresh recipes! This is one of those cookbooks I want to try every recipe it has! Loved the juice recipes also!

Customer Rating:

Summary: Fantastic book
Comment: This book is fantastic for information about cooking tools (explains different types of juicers for example), ingredients, supplements, recipes (smoothies and Asian bowls especially) for the vegan diet. One of the best things about this book is the format is lush with beautiful color pictures but still easy to follow with plenty of information and instruction. I would recommend if you are interested in healthful, fairly light, vitamin-packed foods.

Summary: This is my favourite cookbook!
Comment: I've eaten at Fresh a few times, and was a bit skeptical about this book - thinking it was probably just promo and that I wouldn't be able to recreate their food.

I was wrong, and am so glad I bought this book! This is the best vegetarian cookbook I've ever used. I am a novice cook, so recipes that are easy to follow (no assumptions) and that are actually tested are important. With a few exceptions (for example, what quantity of dried soba noodles makes 8 cups cooked?), I haven't been disappointed.

I started off making the veggie broth - when you have 10 cups of fresh broth, you start looking for things to use it in! My favourites from the soups section are Sweet Potato and Coconut, Tuscan White Bean with Pesto, and the Marrakesh Curried Stew.

I bought some soba noodles recently and decided to try the Khao San Soba noodle recipe - it is easy and fabulous! We've also made the Buddha Rice Bowl, Marinated Tofu Cubes (these keep well in the fridge and can be used in a variety of recipes). The Thai Peanut Sauce makes a lot, but thankfully I found some other recipes on the internet to use it with (Chinese Peanut Salad).

The main drawback is that I loved the first few recipes I made so much that I wanted to keep making them and didn't explore the book further. While not everything I've made is a favourite, I have been diving into the book more, and I'm really enjoying what I'm discovering.

Don't be put off by this book if you aren't vegan - you will not notice or miss the absence of eggs or dairy products in these recipes. If you're a vegetarian wanting to go that extra step towards a vegan diet, this is a great jumpstart!

Fantastic! Thank you, Ruth Tal.
