	Raw by Charlie Trotter and Roxanne Klein "The raw-food movement has arrived in the culinary mainstream, with top chefs like Charlie Trotter, Thomas Keller, and Norman Van Aken espousing the wonders of "living food."  Prepared with basic techniques such as juicing, dehydrating, and slicing, raw food has all of its nutritional value intact since it isn’t subjected to the enzyme-rupturing process that intense heat induces. Trotter’s 10-course raw-food tasting menus have converted many a skeptic, while Roxanne Klein’s eponymous restaurant in Larkspur, California, has become a mecca for raw-food devotees. In RAW, six-time James Beard Award–winner Trotter collaborates with Klein to produce a landmark collection of over 100 recipes—the ultimate tribute to the culinary heights that this dynamic cuisine can reach. The chefs exalt the innate wholesomeness and beauty of fruits and vegetables in such innovative, remarkably flavorful dishes as Heirloom Tomato Soup with Alberquina Olives and Shaved Fennel; Peppercorn-Crusted Cashew Cheese with Honey Comb, Medjool Dates, and Dried Apricots; Polenta with Wild Mushroom Ragout; and Watermelon Soup with Sharlyn Melon Granité. Artfully presented, healthful, and deeply satisfying, raw food is not about austerity, but rather the celebration of food in its glorious natural state. In such skilled hands, it’s nothing short of a revolution in the way we cook and eat. "
	Raw: The Uncook Book: New Vegetarian Food for Life by Juliano   ".... Juliano did complete justice to raw foods...The recipes are just fabulous! They are not just healthy, but very tasty. ... There is such a variety of foods to choose from!! Whether you are just making a meal for your family, or having a party... anyone will enjoy the recipes in this book. My family, is not into health food, but they even enjoyed it when I made a complete 'Raw' meal, using Julianos recipes. I was totally impressed by this book =)."  Reader from Florida.
	The Raw Gourmet by Nomi Shannon and Brian R. Clement "A MUST BUY for any rawies or wanna be rawies! This book has the most wonderful recipes that are sure to get anyone on the right track to raw foods. The tone is warm and friendly and you feel like a guest in her home. There is a chart on sprouting, and many other wonderful resources." A reader  "Wow! Please - Buy, Borrow or Steal this book, and Go Raw. There is no excuse. This book makes meal preparation quick and easy. You can not go wrong. Worth every penny." Stephen Meservey Boston, MA
	Sunfood Cuisine: A Practical Guide to Raw Vegetarian Cuisine by Frederic Patenaude  "I have been waiting for this book for nearly two years. I now have the book and have been trying out some of the recipes. It's great to have someone talk about how to make the best raw soups, salads and others. Fred includes guides to create your own recipes. A very good book, well worth the price. "  Michael Quest, Chatfield, MN reviewer
	Hooked on Raw by Rhio  Wonderful! This is my favorite live foods recipe book. It's a great book for people new to raw foods and those of us who've been traveling this path (or trying to) for some time. I use it as both a reference and a recipe book. "Hooked on Raw," Nomi Shannon's "Raw Gourmet," and Frederic Patenaude's "The Sunfood Cuisine" are the three best out there.... I have most of the major raw foods recipe books, and I rarely open any but these three anymore. Mostly I eat simple fruits and prepare soups or salads, but these books are perfect for company meals and pot luck suppers...and the occasional elaborate meal. Rhio talks about several transitions to raw foods, including her own, as well as presents different sides of many of the controversies within the raw foods movement -- all without being dogmatic. Her premise is that we all must choose what is right for ourselves based on our own educated opinions and knowledge of our bodies."  Reviewed by a reader from Rockville, MD
	Warming Up to Living Foods by Elysa Markowitz and Gabriel Cousens  Author Elysa Markowitz hosts a popular public access television series out of Los Angeles, Elysa's Raw and Wild Food Show. "Friendly Intro to Living Foods Cuisine.  ... introduces us to living foods by way of imaginative recipes, great instructions, variations, and the option of warming the foods (but not above 105 degrees F). The book begins with the story of how Elysa came to raw foods. She moves on to providing a menu for 7 days for each meal (breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, plus snacks and drinks). For example, in the breakfast section, there are 7 days' worth of breakfast meals, and then in the lunch section, there are 7 days' worth of lunch meals, etc. In other words, there are a lot of recipes in this small volume!  Vegan Girl, Mesa AZ
	Dining in the Raw by Rita Romano "Very Informative! I am a vegan and am thinking about a raw diet. This is a great transitional book! Even though all of the recipes are not raw there is so much needed to know information before the recipes. I would suggest buying this book for a health nut that is not a vegetarian, I think they would definitely make the switch. Some might find the title deceiving but its a nice book to have even if you're a raw foodist." Reviewed by a reader from Greencastle, IN
	Sproutman's Kitchen Garden by Steve Meyerowitz "Of all the un-cook books I have on eating a high raw diet, I find this one of the best. It has a great variety of recipes and is fun to read. Even if you only eat raw now and again, you can still get a lot of good ideas from this book. Buy this book and it will keep you in new healthy recipe ideas for years. Also check out Mr Meyerowits's book on Juice fasting, I've found it to be one of the best available." Tasmania Australia Reviewer
	Ann Wigmore's Recipes for Longer Life by Ann Wigmore "Must have book for tasty, vitally healthful natural food! Learn the miracle of sprouted and fermented foods. Transform seeds, nuts and grains into nutritious and delicious sauces, cheeses and loafs. Excellent charts and how-to sections. Beautifully illustrated with upbeat language. A tremendous asset to my kitchen skills. I paid twice the price at the local store! Now I'll order Ann's other books from Amazon!" Reviewed by manager@rest-q.net - Health & Self-Reliance from NW Pennsylvania
	Recipes for Life: From God's Garden by Rhonda J. Malkmus "Hallelujah - I can do this! Most vegetarian books are filled with odd recipes and with odder still ingredients. This book has absolutely fantastic recipes - delicious, nutritious and HEALTHY. Ingredients are readily available at the local grocery or at the Health Food Store. I wish I had grown up eating this way instead of waiting until I am 60! My husband and I both are thrilled with the recipes in this book." Reviewed by a reader from Middletown Ohio
	The Great Exotic Fruit Book: A Handbook of Tropical and Subtropical Fruits, With Recipes by Norman Van Aken  Here is a spectacular full-color adaptation of the bestselling posters by chef Van Aken. The recipes, created especially for this book, demonstrate the versatility of these sumptuous and sometime strange fruits--everything from the pineapple to the rambutan or wax jambu.

This visionary volume includes produce now available nationwide -- arugula, mango, kiwi, snow peas, and Swiss chard, as well as less familiar passion fruit, carambola, tamarillo, chanterelles and many other exotics.
