Summary: It's OK 2010-07-26
Comment: This book has decent recipes, which is why I bought it. However, I don't care for how it's organized--I prefer to see all desserts grouped together, etc. There were also some typos and recipe errors. I made the Almond Coconut cookies last night, and it called for 1 1/2 teaspoons of Himalayan salt. It sounded like too much to me, but thought I should follow the recipe exactly the first time. They were inedible. It should have been 1/2 tsp or less of salt. I know errors happen, but come on, editor and recipe-testers!! Mistakes like that make me question other recipes.

Summary: Typical Teenage boy ate all the brownies! 2009-10-10
Comment: I made a dinner for friends we didn't know well and I used them as test subjects for the raw brownies. Everyone took one brownie and the 16 year old boy raised on McDonald's ate the rest before we knew it. That was amazing to me. Never judge a book by the cover. Carol Alt is beautiful but even a teenaged boy will eat this food. It's tasty!

Summary: good product, slow delivery 2009-09-22
Comment: The book was in good condition, but it took 3 - 3 1/2 weeks between paying and getting the item. This is far longer than usual, although in fairness it wasn't late by Amazon's deadline (hence 3 stars, not less). Next time I'll pay the extra $1.50 to buy it direct from amazon who always gets stuff to me quicker.

Summary: RAW, Yes. Vegetarian or Vegan, No. 2009-04-16
Comment: Not a bad book, not really a good one for vegetarians or vegan raw foodists though. The use of eggs, fish (sashimi grade tuna, salmon), and dairy products in some of the recipes takes it out of the vegetarian and vegan arenas.
A lot of the recipes have quite a few ingredients and will take some time to make, especially since you have to germinate (sprout) for 6-12 hours (2 - 2-1/2 hours for raw cashews) and then dehydrate some items for quite a few hours more. Some recipes require ingredients that you have to have made from other recipes So your prepping meals for tomorrow or the day after and not today in many cases.
The serving sizes is a bit off-putting as there's few 1-2 serving recipes (other than drinks), so making meals for one or two limits your selections or tests your math skills.
With exception of the front and back cover there's only 8 pictures in the book.
I'd recommend having a look at "Raw Food Made Easy for 1 or 2 People" by Jennifer Cornbleet instead.

Summary: Much BETTER books out there on Raw Food. 2009-02-08
Comment: I have about 8 raw food books so far and have looked at her books and actually read the first one but never would buy one. I would not recommend these books. The first one seemed to be all about Carol Alt not raw food. She should stick to Modeling. Look for the books that are about the raw food life style and philosophy. Where the food is the focus not the name of the author.
