Book Reviews of Raw: The Uncook Book: New Vegetarian Food for Life
Book Review: Beautiful but lacking!
Summary: 2 Stars
I got excited looking through this book at the beautiful possibilities of totally raw meals. It was my introduction to the raw food world. However, I have only made two things from it, and it has sat on the shelf unused. I bought two other books which I am pleased with and use all the time (ani's raw kitchen and jennifer cornbleet's raw food made easy). The idea of creating the foods Juliano presents in his book is nice, but executing the production of them is another thing. All the recipes call for a long list ingredients, some I've never heard of, and the glossary doesn't offer any help with vague definitions. Most recipes make you incorporate a couple other recipes into them, sometimes those recipes have another recipe in them. It gets overwhelming quickly. Maybe after a few more months of experience with raw prep I will return and give this another try. His odd collection of pictures of himself is humorous but doesn't add anything to the book.
Summary of Raw: The Uncook Book: New Vegetarian Food for Life
"Gourmet raw cuisine"--if that sounds like an oxymoron, you'll be amazed by the creativity of the recipes in this book. Every food is "live" (uncooked) in these vegetarian recipes from Juliano, the raw-food guru of Los Angeles. Juliano believes that fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, beans, and seeds in their rawest and purest form are the most nourishing foods. If your imagination stops at alfalfa sprouts and grated carrots, hold onto your cutting board. Juliano's recipes include Butternut Squash Soup, New Moon Fruit Stew, Thai Green Papaya Salad, Living Buckwheat Pizza Crust, Mango Essene Bread, Mock Salmon Sushi, Raw Spring Rolls, seven varieties of burritos, nine varieties of pizza, and nine unusual smoothies. Desserts? Try EZ Pudding (made with maple syrup, avocados, and carob powder) or Cashew Gelato (cashew butter, maple syrup, and almonds, served frozen). There are also condiments, dressings, and sauces, and plenty of information about preparing raw foods, including how to soak and sprout beans, grains, seeds, and nuts.It may seem like cheating, but a food dehydrator is permitted to "bake" pizza, cookies, and breads. It blows hot air, but never heats foods hotter than 120?F, which, claims Juliano, "allows all the delicate nutrients that are usually burned out of cooked foods to remain intact." Raw is filled with gorgeous color photos of the foods in all their vibrant colors and a number of photos of the vibrant Juliano (not in the raw). "Before you know it," says Juliano, "you'll be Raw and loving it." --Joan Price
"When you eat raw foods you feel great. I just wanted to share that."-- Juliano
