 Cutting edge and destined to become a raw food classic May 12, 2010

I have been over 10 years raw and over 10 years macrobiotic before that. During this time I have viewed countless cook books. Ani's Raw Food Essentials is one of the best. By design, it's an impressive book. It has a beautiful layout along with the strength and feel of a high quality text book. It provides detailed instruction for basic raw food staples (salads, soups, smoothies, cereal, wraps, sandwiches, and rolls), comfort food favorites (pizzas, pasta, cheezes, scrambles, pancakes, pies, cakes, cookies, and ice kream), and innovative creations that will leave you and your friend's heads shaking in amazement (tortilla soup with jalapeno-lime kream, Korean dumplings, vanilla and lemon Kream crepes, and scones!!). Whether you are a beginner or advanced student, you will find that it does all these things, and it does them all very, very well. A couple distinguishing factors make her book stand out from all the rest. First, instead of limiting itself to a series of recipes, it provides the theory and concepts behind each of them to a far greater extent than I've seen before. Whether it's the basics of salad dressings, cheezes, soups, pizzas, smoothies, wraps, or deserts, Ani provides detailed instruction that will give you the power to develop your own creations. Second, she incorporates a broader range of ingredients and by doing so lessens the reliance upon high fat seeds and nuts that some people may be concerned about with raw food. You will learn how to utilize fruits, veggies and sprouted grains in places where you may have previously used seeds or nuts. By way of example, her mock tuna salad is made with carrots instead of sunflower seeds, and her onion ring batter is made with a buckwheat base. Of course seeds and nuts are still used in good proportion throughout as they provide essential oils and protein, but you will be pleasantly surprised to learn how to utilize more fruits, veggies and grains in your courses. Finally, there is a most charming 2 page chapter on how to incorporate raw food for our canine friends. In the beginning pages, Ani discusses how this is her version of "Raw Foods 2.0." She is being modest. Her book reaches the next level beyond that.
Great book! May 26, 2010

I have read and enjoyed all of Ani's book and this one is no different. It does have some black and white photos, and some recipes that seem similar to the ones in her first book - but I have already made 5 recipes in the first week I bought it! I would recommend this to anyone venturing into the raw food world and the recipes are simple and easy to understand.
Excellent! July 25, 2010

I have about 15 recipes books, this one tops the list. I also love Cornbleet, and Underkoffler has some truly gourmet creations. But, Ani hands down gives you taste in an extremely user-friendly way. Just got the Idiot's guide too, I really like it and will be giving it as an intro book to some; "Reasonably Raw" is a great starter book too; overviews The China Study and other important books, but not a recipe book.
Very creative August 10, 2010

I have research as much about raw vegan food as the internet will put forth. The recipes are sometimes questionable and sometime do not turn out well. I like to see a recipe books before I buy them. This time I took a chance on Ani's Raw Food Essential and bought it. I'm glad I did. The recipes are simple and easy to follow. Ani is very creative and makes it easy to adjust to doing this diet. (Amazon made the price right for me to take the chance to buy it.) I'm glad I bought it. My raw food friends like the recipes that I have made from it.
Another awesome book from Ani! July 6, 2010

When I heard that Ani was releasing another book I could hardly wait. No disappointment here! There are more recipes in this book than one could ever use in any given year. Everything that I have made has been delicious. The strawberry shortcake was a huge hit at my husband's birthday party and the mango barbeque sauce is a new favorite. Whether you are a raw food newbie or well-seasoned in the arts of living foods you will be thrilled with the content of this recipe book. A must for any vegan kitchen!!
