From the Inside Flap

With the publication of The Raw Food Detox Diet, Natalia Rose helped pioneer the practice of detox dieting. Her principles for cleansing and revitalizing the body with living foods and proper food combinations caught the attention of Doris Choi, personal chef and caterer to New York’s cognoscenti—and inspired a whole new culinary approach. Rose and Choi teamed up to create a detox culinary institute and food delivery service for clients nationwide.

Now, with The Fresh Energy Cookbook, they unveil nearly two hundred of Chef Doris’s most coveted recipes, drawing from a range of ethnic flavors, and ideal for dieters and home cooks of all stripes. Lovingly compiled and gorgeously photographed, it covers essential kitchenware, prep skills, pantry items, and recipes for everything from juices and smoothies to warm savory salads, satisfying entrees, and guiltless desserts—all delicious and stunningly simple to prepare. In addition to the many delightful vegan and raw recipes are dozens of mouthwatering dishes featuring savory cheeses, fresh fish, and gently cooked starches and vegetables.

Contrary to popular opinion, true detoxing is not about sipping lemon water and starving oneself for weeks at a time; it’s about enjoying clean, living foods as nature intended us to, every day.

5.0 out of 5 stars I am obsessed with this cookbook November 14, 2012

By Rande

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

I'm on a mission to make every single recipe in this exquisite cookbook. The recipes are all light and fresh without the excessive use of nuts and oils seen in a lot of raw books or tofu and processed foods found in a lot of vegetarian books. Although this book isn't exclusively "raw" or "vegan" or even "vegetarian", it is thoughtfully put together for those who want to feel nourished and emotionally satisfied without feeling weighed down. I can't recommend it enough.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Beautiful Work of Art November 25, 2012

By Lauren Talbot

Format:Hardcover

I absolutely love this beautiful work of art. It is nourishment at its finest. So often am I let down by vegetarian cookbooks that focus so much on grains, nuts, oils, and imitation meats-- not to mention the indigestibility of too many miscombinations. With every recipe I am wowed by the creativity, beauty and flavor, but also the simplicity.

This cookbook has something for everyone; plenty for me (a vegan) and my clients (of all walks of life). I am delighted to see these two talented ladies combine nutrition with such culinary skill. The Fresh Energy Cookbook will inspire even the most skeptical that Mother Nature is beautiful, and so can they enjoy a life of abundance, even beyond the plate.

Love!
