Book Reviews of RAWvolution: Gourmet Living Cuisine

Book Review: Fantastic!
Summary: 4 Stars

I'm relatively new to raw foods, and for a long time my first and only book was Ani's Raw Food Kitchen. I purchased Rawvolution a few months after getting Ani's, but didn't try it out right away. Boy was that a mistake -- especially considering Ani's has been such a hit or miss cookbook for me. I've made 4 recipes from this book recently and all 4 of them have been amazing. The seed cheese actually tastes like cheese; the Corn Chowder doesn't taste like its missing any dairy; the Thai Curry soup is just a simple and phenomenal recipe. I absolutely cannot wait to try other recipes from this book.

I sort of agree with some people who say that he uses a lot of Nama Shoyu -- a little too much. But honestly, do what sounds right to you. If you don't like salty tasting things, don't put a half a cup of Nama Shoyu in something -- adjust it accordingly and you'll be fine. Thats what cooking is all about isn't it?

As far as the physical book, it is very well designed and the photography is also excellent.

Summary of RAWvolution: Gourmet Living Cuisine

Following a vegan, raw foods diet does not mean you have to give up your favorite delicacies or condemn yourself to a life of celery and carrot sticks. As renowned raw foods chef Matt Amsden reveals in this vibrant, inspiring book, raw cuisine represents the discovery and innovative use of luscious natural ingredients. From imaginative new dishes such as cactus salad, onion bread, and spirulina pie, to tantalizing variations on everything from pizza, tacos, and cookies, to the signature "Big Matt with Cheese," Amsden's mouthwatering recipes feature soups, sauces, salads, appetizers, entrees, and even desserts.

More than a cookbook, RAWvolution is the indispensable, all-inclusive guide to the many powerful benefits of raw food. Beginning with his personal account of "How I Went Raw," Amsden shares essential advice, information, and encouragement for adopting a raw foods lifestyle. His delectable recipes are organized by type, level of difficulty, and what equipment, if any, is necessary in their creation. Accessible to both beginners and experienced cooks, RAWvolution addresses everyone from vegetarians who want to take the next step in natural cuisine, to those who simply want to diversify and improve their everyday diet.

There has never been a more important time to incorporate raw foods into your lifestyle. Raw, vegan cuisine is making news daily, providing healthy and nutritious alternatives that are changing lives. Best of all, raw food can be delicious. There is no need to sacrifice flavor for bland and boring "health" food. Enliven your senses and taste buds instead with rich, living cuisine.
