Book Reviews of The Raw Gourmet
Book Review: My favorite raw "cook" book
Summary: 5 Stars
...This is one of the most beautiful recipe books I've ever seen; it doubles as a nice coffee table book! I've always loved cookbooks that show you what the finished recipes are supposed to look like, especially when I'm new to a certain style of cooking (or in this case not cooking). Her book is over-the-top wonderful with lovely photos on every page.Another thing that makes this book so different from other raw "cookbooks" is that Nomi shows you to find the time to prepare raw meals, sprout, etc. Extras include "Ten Raw Food Kitchen Essentials," a sprouting chart, information about food combining, a 3-week menu plan, and so much more!
The recipes are as varied and wonderful as any cooked food you've ever eaten, from breakfast grains to juices and salads to pies, cookies, and ice cream! Check out the table of contents to see the incredibly long list of different kinds of recipes she has included in this fabulous book. You won't believe how much you can do with raw foods!
I also liked that she includes a notation that shows you which recipes are "properly combined" for those new to food combining. If I had to choose only one of my raw foods recipe books to keep, it would be this one.
Book Review: Not so fast...
Summary: 4 Stars
This book does have beautiful pictures!! And the recipes are mostly not too complicated!! But it is not a basic book for a beginner...for much of it you need those harder-to-find ingredients, AND a kitchen full of uncommon appliances to prepare this stuff.Book Review: Pretty, yummy and doable recipes
Summary: 4 Stars
I've owned this book for a few months and have made a handful of recipes. Beautiful photography, coherent directions, good intro on raw foods along with a basic set of menus and an overview on the basics of food combining. My chief beef with the book -- and the reason I'm rating it 4 stars instead of 5 -- is the sloppy index, which I've been correcting as I find errors.Book Review: Raw Gourmet

The Raw Gourmet
Excellent book. Completely lived up to its reputation. Perhaps the definitive book on the subject of raw food.

Book Review: Raw Gourmet Cookbook
Summary: 5 Stars
Simple and easy recipes with a little prep. So far, the recipes have been delicious. A great book for those of us learning the raw foods way, or for those that just want a quick and simple meal.
