One of the major keys to success in succeeding with the raw and living food diet and lifestyle is in having fun with it. And certain well-prepared gourmet food is high on anyone's list of "life's pleasures".
That's not to say that there isn't pleasure to be had in simple food as well... biting into a crisp and succulent apple that's just fallen from the tree... or a salad of spring greens fresh from the garden... or the crisp snap of a baby carrot that you've just plucked from the earth and scrubbed it with it's own top...
But variety in taste and texture certainly adds to the delight of dining.
Raw and living food, properly prepared, can be the TASTIEST FOOD in the world. We have assembled links to a wide variety of recipes from some of the raw and living food movement's leading chef for your enjoyment. If you have a recipe you would like to share with us, or another wonderful link to recipes we've overlooked, please contact us with your suggestion or find.

".... God had a reason He made fruits and vegetables so beautiful…all the colors of the rainbow displayed. Our eye sees the red berry, the green lettuce, the purple kale, the orange orange, the red bell pepper and duh, we want to eat it!
"So now, I take all my fruits and veggies out of plastic bags and containers and display them in bowls in the frig or even on the kitchen table. This serves two purposes. First, it totally reinforces what we are suppose to eat. When are eyes see the beautiful array of fruits and veggies it sends a message to our brain that reinforces these are the foods our bodies need and desire. Secondly, having the fruits and veggies displayed makes it a lot easier to see what you have on hand and what you need to add to your shopping list. It also stimulates my creativity and makes it easier to think about what we will have for our next raw food meal.
"I can’t tell you what joy it brings me to open my frig now and not only see it well organized, but most of all to see the breath taking cornucopia of delicious, raw, living foods we have available to feed our living bodies...."

That is when you'll notice that something is missing in them that you were never able to discern before. And you would be right. The missing factor is . . . the Life.Rhio
