Product Description
Eating raw isn't just for naturalists anymore. Today, health-conscious eaters are filling their plates with the foods nature has already prepared. And these foods go well beyond the sprouts, carrots, and celery typically associated with this type of diet.
In Living Cuisine, celebrated raw chef Renee Underkoffler shows how varied, exciting, and healthy raw-foods cuisine can be. She introduces the many benefits of eating raw and offers guidelines for incorporating this healthier regimen into one's lifestyle. She provides clear, step-by-step instructions for raw-foods processing techniques-juicing, sprouting, culturing and fermenting, dehydrating, and even blanching.
At the heart of Living Cuisine are the more than 300 tantalizing recipes inspired by a wide range of ethnic and regional foods. These beverages, soups, salads, appetizers, side dishes, sushi, entrees, and desserts are all delicious and simple to prepare. This unique resource includes thorough information necessary for a foray into raw-foods living

 Best Book... Absolutely Smitten! September 9, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
My background is that I'm a great cook and I love creating and trying brilliant new recipes. I'm not a vegetarian or even a raw foodie just yet, but want to understand the full spectrum of delicious foods that life can offer. Living Cuisine is a must have book for any true food lover!
I have bought several other raw books (Raw Food/Real World, Ani's Raw Food Kitchen, Carol Alt's The Raw 50, and more) and they were all good. I do recommend them as well.
BUT!
If you can buy ONE book, this is the one. Living Cuisine is absolutely amazing. The recipes are excellent. There is more information packed into this book than I've seen in ANY cookbook, and trust me, I have TONS of cookbooks of all kinds. She interestingly informs on types of food, ways of cooking, tools, techniques, and more ingredients than I've ever heard of.
I was very impressed by the ingredient list. So many kinds of foods, with info about their flavors, origins, methods of cooking them. This includes seasonings, sweeteners, and anything that creates flavor. In fact, she goes into detail about flavor groups and how to mix and use them.
I could go on. Just know that I can't say enough about how much I love this book. Please enjoy!
So Amazing!! June 10, 2008

This is a fantastic book. I just got it moments ago, but I'm so anxious to pour over its amazing recipes! The inspirational saying in the front has me hooked. This book is PERFECT for beginners, the raw-curious and those that need more raw recipes for their collection. Give it a read!! You will love it!
 Good information June 9, 2008

I was very impressed with the information in the first half of the book. I learned a lot of useful tips to help in the raw foods diet. I only gave it 4 stars because I was disappointed in the recipes, the majority of which use soy products. The fact that many of the recipes involve steaming makes it perfect for someone transitioning or dealing with a compromised digestive system, but it is not 100% raw.
 Great book but not for beginners. June 2, 2008

Living Cuisine provides a great education on the raw food way of life. It is one cookbook that you will actually read. The recipes are definitely at the gourmet end of the raw food spectrum. I would highly recommend this book for individuals moving from a novice to advanced raw food diet. The book uses advanced preparation techniques and the recipes require extensive ingredients, many are hard to find.
While an intriguing read, this is not a good first book for those just starting a raw food way of life.
Extremely informative May 30, 2008
This book is very well organized. There is SO much information in this one book. I look forward to preparing some of these dishes. Generally, I find raw food recipes complicated, but worth it in the end. This author certainly knows her stuff and is not afraid to preach. That does not turn me off, however. I plan to read it from cover to cover!
