Summary: easy to read, easy to reference
Comment: I found this book both easy to read and easy to reference for later use. It provides much of the basics (and some intermediates) for incorporating more raw foods into your daily diet.
I would highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to add more raw foods into their daily diet.

Summary: Excellent Guide to Raw Food Diet
Comment: This is an excellent book! When I bought the book, I was hoping to be educated on how I could adopt more raw food into my diet. I did not expect to thoroughly enjoy reading the book. The book comprehensively covers the ins and outs of a raw food diet in a very clear and interesting way. I strongly recommend it.

Summary: Love these recipes!
Comment: After making another wonderful dinner from this book tonight, I decided that I should write my impression of the recipes. I have a lot of raw uncook books, so I am familiar with many recipes and food preparation techniques. These authors seem to have perfected the ingredients for soups and breads, and they really understand the concept of taste. I first made the Sweet Vanilla-Almond Dip - so simple but so yummy! I love it with apple. Then I made two salad dressings, the Tahini Dressing and the Fantastic Flax Dressing - both perfect and delightful! I made the Blueberry-Vanilla Macadamia Nut Granola and it is quite good. Then tonight I had for dinner the Carrot Ginger Soup with a sandwich made with the Foccacia. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wishes to try raw cuisine, and I intend to keep exploring more recipes!

Summary: If you're new to eating raw--like me
Comment: This publication is quite informative for those of us new to eating raw; however, I suggest you purchase a raw cookbook with quick meals to keep you inspired to eat raw as you dehydrate foods for meals in this publication. One suggestion is "Raw Food Made Easy for One or Two" by Jennifer Cornbleet. There is a transitioning section in "The Idiot's Guide", but again much of the foods require dehydration which can take days.
The "Complete Idiot's Guide" is recommended by me for its informative take on raw eating and meal variety. There is helpful information on the pantry, tools to purchase and websites to check out. You'll be satisfied with this publication. Would have been given 5 stars if quicker meals were incorporated to transition you into raw eating.

Summary: Simply Wonderful
Comment: I have a number of raw food books. The problem is they are too difficult or too boring. This book gives great info. It hits all the points you always read concerns about. I thought the recipes would not be interesting since this is a basic book. I was wrong. The chocolate-orange pudding is great. The choco tacos were really good. I almost didn't try them. You should. I seem to be the only person who doesn't care for almond milk. The cardamom-almond milk is great. The survivor's cereal is worth the price of the book. I am not a smoothie person and always looking for something else for breakfast.
