I've been thinking about incorporating raw food into my diet but the recipe books I looked at had very complicated and fiddly recipes. Plus I can't ever imaging preparing food that requires hours and hours in a dehydrator, I simply don't plan my meals that far in advance.

This book - despite some laughable recipes (apple juice = quarter four apples and juice them. Ahem) was just what I was looking for. Small quantity raw food recipes that contain only a handful of ingredients and that are straight forward to prepare.

I've only read two raw food books, but of the ones I've read this was definitely better. It was easier, required far less kitchen "equipment" and was more manageable for a small household. I'm not a raw foodie, and probably never would be, but I love reading anything on nutrition or fitness so this one definitely deserved a chance. I can't see myself making more than a small handful of things from this book (like the smoothies, for example) but I'm sure they'll be lovely!

When I first perused this book, I gave it only 3 stars but when I read it through I upped it to 4 stars. Some ultra easy (almost non-) recipes but that's ok, because reminds me that foods such as plain frozen bananas and lemon water and oj can taste delicious and are healthy.

Really well laid out. Each recipe has an equipment needed list in the page margin. Lots of basic information good for raw novices.

And unique in that the recipes really do generally call for 1 or 2, occasionally up to 4 servings. In other recipe books, it’s generally easy to adapt the recipe to make a smaller amount, but this book is terrific for singles & couples who don’t want a lot of leftovers or the need to adapt every recipe for their needs.

I'm not a raw food person, but I'm eager to try some of these recipes.

Some beautiful photos of the food, which I always appreciate. And many of the recipes look delicious.

This is one of my go-to books for a recipe. I really love her mango avocado salad, and the grapefruit salad. It's not my favorite raw book, but I do use it frequently.

I ordered this book after I had been high raw for about one month. When it finally arrived at my house, I was thoroughly impressed. Not only are the recipes simple and easy to follow, they are delicious! My favorite is definitely the Muesli, a tantalizing mix of oats, sunflower seeds, chopped nuts, and raisins all topped with cinnamon, fresh fruit, and homemade almond milk! A close second is the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough! One does not need a fancy new kitchen setup; they merely need to rearrange! Pull that old blender to the forefront, dust off your food processor, and sharpen your knives! This book is "un-cooking" at its finest!I would recommend Raw Food Made Easy for beginners and seasoned raw foodies alike.

Can you read a cookbook like a novel? It's one of my pleasures. This time, I scanned through the book and watched the DVD. I put many ingredients on my shopping list. Good to see someone using a spirulator.

there are some really good base ideas in here, though i would argue that "chopped parsley" can't actually count as a recipe. i've already made a flourless chocolate cake and raw oatmeal using whole oats.

This is a great recipe book to start with if you are interested in incorporating more raw foods into your diet. The recipes are made for 1 to 2 people so there isn't the problem of having an excess of leftovers and the recipes are easily doubled if need be. The recipes are simple and use easily obtained ingredients. It starts with an introduction that lists kitchen utensils/ appliances needed, as well as pantry staples. Some of my favorite recipes are zucchini pasta with puttanesca sauce, California rolls, Mediterranean kale salad with olives and pine nuts, and the shaved beet salad with lemon herb dressing.

You don't need a kitchen full of expensive equipment. Most of these creations, you only need a blender, food processor and a will to try something new and exciting.

Read the book from library it was so helpful that I decided to purchase my own copy. I love it!!!

This was a keeper, great, simple, easy uncook book, check it out!!!

This simple un-cookbook by Jennifer Cornbleet, raw food chef and instruction and graduate of Living Light Culinary Arts Institute, makes preparing delicious raw food in small quantities easy. This book covers the middle ground between simply eating a piece of fruit in its original form and creating elaborate raw gourmet meals. If preparing raw foods seemed to complicated before now, this book is for you.

Recipes are divided into sections for Breakfast (juice, fruit, and cereal), Lunch and Dinner (dips, pates, and savory sauces; soups; salads; salad dressings; sandwiches; entrees; and vegetable side dishes), and Dessert (cakes, cookies, and bars; crisps, pies, and tarts; mousses, puddings, and sweet sauces; shakes and ice creams).

Newcomers to the raw lifestyle will appreciate the glossary, which provides definitions from agave nectar to zest. This is truly a quick-start manual that you can use to start making raw food a part of your everyday life...today!
