Product Description

The phrase "raw foods" conjures images of food as punishment — think uncooked carrots and celery, with perhaps a spinach juice cocktail as a chaser. However, uncooked doesn’t have to mean unappetizing, as this combination cookbook and guide to the raw foods lifestyle shows. Gabrielle Chavez explains how to use the wide range of fruits, nuts, grains, vegetables, spices, and seasonings for delicious, healthy — and healing — dishes. Anytime entrees from Stuffed Portabellos with Mushroom Gravy to Thai Hazelnut Pesto are here, along with seasonal treats like Halloween Soup and basics such as Simple Sweet Bread, with ingredients expressed in both metric and American measurements. In addition to current information on raw foods’ nutritional value and success as an alternative for people with food allergies and disorders, The Raw Food Gourmet takes readers on Chavez’s personal journey as she discovers the physical, emotional, and spiritual benefits of this diet.

"rawsome" book!
 
Review Date: March 24, 2006
Reviewer: S. Bolton, Syracuse, NY
I like this book a lot, because it's well-written and unpretentious. There isn't any overhyped raw food propaganda or glossy photos of the author-- just recipes, and helpful advice for becoming and staying raw. Possibly the best part is the recipes contain ingredients you can actually pronounce AND find in stores.
Taking eating and health to a whole new level!

Gabrielle Chavez's book, The Raw Gourmet, brings a new dimension to the subject of raw cuisine!

The information is direct, well researched, and presented in a fashion that is appealing to those new to the concept of "Going Raw" as well as to those who have already had the pleasure of indulging in Raw Delights!

Her recipes lead to a delicious discovery of taste and texture, without guilt or guile!


A great gift that anyone regardless of eating choices and cooking styles can and will enjoy!
Simple and Satisfying

Reviewer: Galen,
This book is filled with numerous recipes that have become staples in my diet. It is a simple book, but it is obvious that the author is sharing tried and true recipes that are both nutritious and delicious. The book contains useful general tips about the raw lifestyle (especially tips for traveling) but the recipes are the real stars. Try the "grawnola" and your breakfast will never be boring again! This is a wonderful book by a sincere and talented author. It's definitely one of the best raw recipe books I've found.

This is an excellent resource for anyone wishing to learn and begin following a Raw food diet. With easy to make recipes and just enough background on the Raw food, healthy living regime for beginners and long time Raw fooders. I highly recommend this book for every Raw food gourmet library!
Great book!

I love this cookbook! It was very difficult to imagine giving up cooked/processed foods like Mac & Cheese, or pizza, but this cookbook offers many ways to satisfy cravings! The recipes are super-easy, and tasty too!
