Editorial Reviews

Review

Eating Without Heating... stands on its own as a valuable contribution to any raw food kitchen -- Viktoras Kulvinskas MS, Author of the best selling book Survival in the 21st Century

I couldn't put this book down. The message is strong and real! I recognized my own deep thoughts, feelings. -- Marco Ranzi, 12 years old, Ramsey, NJ

No matter which recipe of Sergei and Valya's I make, my kids eat it all up! -- Diane St Jean, mother of four, Montreal, Canada

Product Description

I wish there were some way that I could get this message out to every single one of you. A message that would touch your lives and have you see that happiness is not sold in little baggies or a 40 oz. glass bottle. I wish that there were some way to show you, my own generation, that we can all be happy and free without drugs. I wish I could stop you from hurting your body and make you see how much you will regret it later in life. Most of all I wish that I could unite all of you and show you that every single one of you is beautiful and miraculous and that life would not be the same without you. Unfortunately, that is impossible, because the only way of teaching is actually not teaching at all! The only way I can get others to follow is by being a good example and sharing my story when asked. The words of even the wisest man are worth nothing if no one wants to hear them!

5.0 out of 5 stars Book written by teens, displays wisdom beyond their years., July 31, 2003

By	Robert Cohen (USA) - See all my reviews

The book "Eating Without Heating", written by two
teens, displays wisdom beyond their years.
The book is magnificently illustrated with drawings by Valya.
"Eating Without Heating is a guide book to all things raw.
It is a treatise on the raw food philosophy. It is a cookbook.
It is a living testament to a family that bucked the school
establishment which tried to induce children to drink milk
and eat fast-food burgers for lunch. Their recipes are quite
a bit more sophisticated than just sliced cucumbers with dill
sauce. One example is an entire chapter on fermenting foods.
Sergei and Valya simply soak one cup of nuts in water overnight
and blend the resulting product in a blender until it is
smooth like heavy cream. They strain the mixture through
a sprout bag, pour into a jar, cover with cheesecloth,
and set in a warm place where the magic transfer of gases
and air through the mixture produces a tart yogurt-like
food. Try this with cashews and chopped mango.

They produce unique cheeses with the same method as
above. I'll soon be trying their sauerkraut and kim chee
recipes. I salivate at the thought of producing my own.

I've tasted raw breads, but have only wondered at the
mastery of culinary skills necessary to create such miracles.
From sprouted raw flax bread with kamut and walnuts to
chili corn chips, the Boutenko children make it all
seem simple, in easy-to-follow recipes. If you love
sourdough bread, you've got to try their recipe which
employs raw almond pulp with flax and caraway seeds.

These kids have timing! They save the best for last,
cookies, ice creams, and cakes. With secrets learned
from their mother (sprinkle coconut or nuts so that
the cake does not stick to the pan), and photographs
that tempt and delight (walnut cream cake, un-chocolate
cake, un-cheesecake, and many others), these recipes
are what one would expect to be served at the gates
of Valhalla. Try the Macadamia Date Pie or the
amazing Coconut-Date Truffles.

5.0 out of 5 stars How To Make Quick, Easy, and Delicious Gourmet Recipes, April 11, 2005

By	Michael Snyder "TheRawDiet.com" (Portland, Oregon) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've been eating a raw vegetarian diet for
the past 5 years and I've added many raw
recipe books to my library. "Eating Without
Heating" is in my top 5. It has everything
you need in a recipe book.

The book begins by drawing the reader in
with the author's personal stories of raw
foods. They both healed themselves of
disease simply by adopting a raw foods diet.
Valya had a bad case of asthma and Sergei
had a bad case of diabetes. After adopting
a raw vegetarian diet, there is no trace of
disease and they are perfectly healthy. At
age 17, Sergei is now in his third year of
college! These kids are a great inspiration!

The recipe section of the book starts with
beautiful full color glossy photographs of
the authors, their parents, and the various
recipes. The food photos are amazing, they
have a wedding cake, chocolate truffles, raw
vegan deviled "eggs", buckwheaties cereal
with almond milk, pizza, borscht, cranberry
sauce, and more.

After the photographs is an excellent description
about how to prepare generic gourmet recipes.
You'll learn how to balance the various tastes in
a recipe using different foods, herbs, and
seasonings. These instructions alone are worth the
price of the book because they allow you to be
creative and start making your very own recipes. I
refer to this section of the book quite often.

This book is perfect for experienced raw gourmet
chefs, as well as those new to preparing food.
These recipes are simple to prepare and anyone can
do it, even if your idea of preparing food is
throwing a veggie burger in the microwave!

"Eating Without Heating" covers all the bases. You
will discover how to prepare juices, smoothies,
soups, salad dressings, sauces, dips, pate, nori
"sushi" rolls, crackers, breads, appetizers, entrees,
cakes, pies, cookies, ice cream, french fries and
catsup, spagetti, pesto sauce, salsa, pudding, trail
mix, and much more.

My favorite recipes are in the "Fermented Foods"
chapter. You'll discover how to make raw vegan yogurt,
cheese, pickles, relish, sauerkraut, and more. These
foods have become a staple in my diet and I couldn't
imagine living without them!

I highly recommend "Eating Without Heating". Many of
the recipe books I have own are too complicated, they
use hard to find ingredients, and they take hours to
prepare. In "Eating Without Heating", you'll find easy
recipes with common ingredients found in every grocery
store. The recipes are simple, and the food tastes like
it was made by a professional gourmet chef. You'll love
this book, I guarantee it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Small, Simple, Delicious & Complete, June 26, 2006

By	Judy Koot - See all my reviews

Great book, small, but jam packed with easy to make and delicious recipes. There are at least a hundred, covering a complete range of topics: from salads and soups, to drinks, bread, crackers, ice cream, pies and more, divided in handy chapters. Some recipes require a dehydrator or juicer (which I don't own), but you can make most of them with a kitchen machine or by hand. I use a simple hand blender & chopper.
This book is not a fancy (un)cookbook by the way (read: thick, with glossy pictures and complex recipes) so if that's what you want (because we all love to drool over beautiful cookbooks, right?), this may not be what you're looking for. Except for some pictures (and -very inspirational- notes by the Boutenko kids) in the beginning, the rest of the book solely contains short recipes without photos. It's a very simple book, nothing fancy at all. But I think therein lies it's power: its practicality. I have two more books which are quite fancy, but for food prep inspiration I always grab this one. If I think: 'pie', I just look up the chapter, gloss over it and immediately get ideas to make my own version.
I'll be spending a year abroad soon and this is the raw food book I'd take along with me together with my hand blender & chopper.
If I had to describe this book in four words: small, simple, delicious and complete! I love it!
