Preston loves his raw food diet so I thought, why not feature a raw food cookbook?
The first thing I used to think about when I heard the words “raw food lifestyle” was feeding my rabbit lettuce, spinach and carrots. Doesn’t really sound fulfilling, especially for someone who might indulge in the sweeter side of life.
However after reading Fresh: The Ultimate Live-Food Cookbook, this might be the beginning of a slow transition towards something a little more earthly. This book by Sergei and Valya Boutenko is truly an insight into the benefits of mind and body when on a “live-food” track. Hello health-kick!
The authors say that, “Cookbooks need not—indeed, should not—involve cooking.” Which to me, makes dishes at the end of a dinner party sound much more manageable.
In this book, you will not only find ways to prepare exotic fruits and vegetables, you will get insight into the three step way to adapt your diet and life.
Good-bye gas bill at the end of the month, I’m going raw! (Maybe.)
Have you ever tried a raw food diet? What did you think of it? What do you think your guests would think if you served all raw food at your next dinner party?

i actually try to eat a partial raw diet and i have been to events where the raw food was just as amazing as a lot of cooked food that i have eaten.
my friend susan powers has a cookbook called Rawmazing that has the most delicious raw desserts ever in it.
as far as guests go, some of them wouldn’t care as long as it was good but of course there is always those who are afraid to try anything new.
