Book Description

Publication Date: January 26, 2009

Living a Raw vegan lifestyle does NOT require dehydrating, which is why Kristen Suzanne's EASY Raw Vegan recipe books -- other than this one -- rarely call for dehydrating. But if you own a dehydrator, or if you are trying to decide whether or not to buy one, then this book is for you. There are SO many fun and interesting things you can do with dehydrating Raw foods, such as making breads, crackers, wraps, pancakes, granolas, plant leathers (fruit roll-ups, etc.), seasonings, and much more. You can also intensify flavors, add cooked-like textures to your Raw foods, and even serve warm dishes with the food's nutritional integrity totally intact! This book is a great, thorough, and comprehensive introduction to dehydrating for people who are curious about the subject. It's also a must-have for Raw food enthusiasts who want to experience the full range of experiences in the Raw food cuisine. This Raw food vegan recipe book includes: SPECIAL OFFER: 10% OFF EXCALIBUR DEHYDRATORS & ACCESSORIES Dehydrating Fundamentals Recommendations on Which Dehydrator to Buy 55 recipes, including: 19 Using Fruits & Vegetables 5 Using Nuts & Seeds 12 Pancakes, Crackers, Breads & Wraps (Includes Kristen's famous Raw Maple Syrup for your pancakes!) 13 Special Dehydrated Ingredients A "Raw Basics" introduction to Raw food (with 6 basic "must have" recipes) for people who are new to the subject. Also includes links to food photographs at Kristen Suzanne's Web site, KristensRaw.com.

3.0 out of 5 stars The recipes look good, but the format is disappointing, November 15, 2009

This review is from: Kristen Suzanne's EASY Raw Vegan Dehydrating: Delicious & Easy Raw Food Recipes for Dehydrating Fruits, Vegetables, Nuts, Seeds, Pancakes, Crackers, Breads, Granola, Bars & Wraps (Paperback)

I bought two books in Kristen Suzanne's series and while the recipes look good, I have to agree with other reviewers who've pointed out how repetitive the series format is for these books. Almost the entire first half of each book is an introductory guide to the raw vegan lifestyle. Had these books been offered at half the price they are, this might have seemed an appropriate format for a series like this. But each one of these books is nearly as costly as other, more thorough books on preparing raw vegan food. Certainly once you've spent the money to buy a few of the books in this series, you should have something that amounts to more than an intro and the last few pages of each.

4.0 out of 5 stars May Be A Good Choice, May 22, 2009

This review is from: Kristen Suzanne's EASY Raw Vegan Dehydrating: Delicious & Easy Raw Food Recipes for Dehydrating Fruits, Vegetables, Nuts, Seeds, Pancakes, Crackers, Breads, Granola, Bars & Wraps (Paperback)

First, I have most of Kristen's books. She provides good basic info in each of her books, valuable if you're new to RAW Uncooking. On the downside, the books don't have that many recipes.

Instead of offering one complete book with all her recipes, they are in a small book series. It is pricey to get all of them. However, there are a few recipes in each of them, that I will make often. Kristen's recipes are creative and some of them different from other books. That is why I purchased most of her books.

Also, there are no pictures inside any of the books. She gives her site that a person must go to, to see pictures of her food. For the price of the series, that isn't great.

Overall, the series format seems a mistake. The recipes are good.
