Eat Smart Eat Raw by Kate Wood
|
Shazzie's favourite!
I decided to sell this book
because Kate offers us around 150 raw recipes using ingredients
that are easy to find in the UK and Europe. This makes it a bit
more usable than some us-based books, though they all offer a wealth
of inspiration!

Raw foods are currently enjoying growing popularity as people discover
their healing and health-giving benefits, but raw foodism is more
than just a fad -- historically, many cultures and religions have placed
value on the eating of "living" foods, and proponents have been
helping others overcome life-threatening diseases since the early 20th
century.
Many who are new to the diet may imagine that eating only uncooked foods
would be restrictive and boring, but Kate Wood hopes to show this is far
from the case.
There is a wealth of fruit, vegetables, nuts, seeds and sprouts to discover
and use, and with the use of equipment such as a juicer and dehydrator,
a whole host of ways to prepare them.
The book includes almost 150 recipes, some of which allow the occasional
non-raw ingredient to reflect the author's non-proscriptive attitude to
a raw food lifestyle, in order to encourage those who may not want to
go the whole way but are interested in incorporating something new into
their existing diet.
This book is suitable not only for those who want to adhere to a raw
food diet but also for those who may simply wish to embark on a week or
two of detoxifying.
Kate Wood is a mother of three, and her whole family are raw vegans based
in London. She has adapted many Californian recipes and invented lots
more to fit with the British palate and way of life. In this book, Kate
describes the most important elements of raw food cuisine. Ingredients
are broken down into food groups such as protein, fats, vitamin B12 and
calcium. Kitchen equipment is described and a very personal introduction
gives the reader an insight into how such a radically different diet can
be incorporated into everyday UK life.
