Book Description

Publication Date: November 1, 2008

Mounting evidence has shown that heat destroys many of the nutrients found in raw, living food, rendering it harder to digest and nutritionally diminished. Raw food is catching on! From Hollywood stars with personal chefs, to a host of chic new Manhattan restaurants, the Raw Food movement is sweeping the country as people learn about the dramatic health benefits derived by eating a vegan diet in which food is never heated above 118 degrees Fahrenheit. With this fun, easy, one-of-a-kind guide, Raw food chef Kristen Suzanne explains how to apply the Raw food diet and lifestyle to the holiday season, with how-to tips and delicious and decorative recipes for Halloween, Thanksgiving dinner, Christmas, and other holiday season festivities. Includes a fabulous "Raw Holiday Survival Guide" to help Raw vegan enthusiasts adapt this extremely healthy diet and lifestyle to the special demands imposed by the holiday season. This Raw food vegan recipe book also includes a "Raw Basics" introduction to Raw food for people who are new to the subject.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Mush Have!!, December 9, 2008

Kristen's Easy Raw Vegan Holiday's is a must have. She offers great information about raw foods and tips on how to make it through the Holiday's. Her recipes are amazing and are very easy to make. They don't require a lot of equipment; most can be prepared with a food processor or blender. She has an amazing way of making everything taste terrific that you could easily pass her recipes off without telling anyone they're raw. Her Pumpkin Pie is amazing. I also love her Harvest Soup and Bell Pepper Spinach salad with Rosemary Ranch Dressing. Oh, and did I mention the Rudolph Cherry Cobbler, Pecan Spice Delight cookies and Creamy Dreamy Eggless Nog? The book is worth purchasing for these recipes alone.

Also, check out her other books. They offer such an awesome variety of dishes that are fun to try and easy to prepare that sometimes I forget their raw! What I love most about Kristen's recipes are the use of spices, her variety of soups, dressings and the different ways to dress up veggies. Most of her recipes don't require a dehydrator and she uses more seeds than nuts (or a combination of both). I have quite a few raw cook books and find they use more nuts, require a lot of dehydrating and the recipes take far longer to prepare. I really believe you will love her books as much as I do. Enjoy!

Kristens recipe books are amazing. I have made so many dishes and they always come out great. I have made many cheesecakes and her lasagna and they are always the rave even with non-raw people. I also like the way she sets up her recipes step by step as well as in the intro to raw foods she also ahs a scale to show how much a tablespoon is...like 3 teaspoons and so forth. We love everything we have made so far!

Kristen Suzanne's Raw Vegan Holiday's is loaded with the most fabulous recipes. Her pumpkin pie is out of this world. I am eating the last piece as I am writing this review. Oh excuse me for a minute while I wipe my fingers. YUM!!! I say last piece because my husband and I were eating this last night and watching an old movie. It is a recipe you do not want to share but know that people are going to find out anyway. So I might as well be the HERO. Her recipes are to die for and easy to make. My kids love everything I have made so far. I made the "BOO" Halloween Hummus for the kids at school and they loved it. Then her Oktoberfest Raw German Chocolate Brownines went to my husbands work. The empty plate came back with a note saying, whats for tomorrow? Because it is all so nutritious I don't care if my family eats her stuff all day long. When you go to the store to get the ingredients just take the book with you. You get inspired. Plus the book is beautiful. Its a good feeling to buy a recipe book and love it all.
