ignore all the pics of ani and you'll be fine Ok, I gave this cookbook five stars because I personally feel that the recipes are scrumptious and delightful. This is a fantastic cookbook. There, I've said it. If you are new to raw food, pick up a copy of this little beauty. The recipes aren't too frightening, and she rarely uses a dehydrator. Dehydrators can be scary and intimidating if you aren't accustomed to using one, and I think Miss Ani considered that. Sure, when I was thumbing through it I got a bit peeved at all the silly pictures of pretty Ani and her raw-food-eating-planet-saving-self. And yeah, I kinda felt like beating my head into the wall after reading all her blurbs on living green and loving animals and all that stuff. I mean, jeez, it's a COOKBOOK. but then i realized just how much thought she put into her cookbook, and how proud she must be of the recipes and the book as a whole... and you know- that's pretty nice. besides, sarma and mathew's book (raw food real world) is littered with cutesy couples pictures. ani won points for not going THAT far off the deep end. i much preferred the pictures of her dog, kanga. do you think raw foodists are just more prone to being elitist snobs that are in love with themselves? meh, i forgive them.
Nice She gives a lot of green tips. Her recipes are easy and delicious. You can also go to you tube to see her videos.
A jem to have in any library While I wish the publisher had used less toxic printing materials (my copy still smells like ink and dye a year later), the book is amazing. Her recipes are fantastic and the natural living advise is practical and doable. No matter if you are a raw food person or not you will enjoy these recipes.
great! most used raw food book i own. this is a wonderful book, and i really didn't mind looking at ani at all ;) every recipe i have tried (and i have tried them, this book, to me ,is so inviting, the recipes beautiful) has been excellent. in fact, i have a mom who loves her meat but couldn't get enough of the flavor of ani's veg pate. i also made the "tuna" salad at another lunchoen and my mom was sure there was tuna fish in it. these are easy recipes that have complex flavor. she hasn't let me down yet.
Don't waste your money I've read and prepared recipes from at least 6 raw cookbooks that are on the market - and this is by far the worst. It's not much more than a vanity piece that is low on nutritional content, low on key information on raw food prep or flavor variety. But then again, she was trained by Juliano - not a surprise!
