While the raw food diet is the fastest growing alternative approach to eating because of its health benefits, preparing raw food dishes is so new that many people don’t know where to start. With 500 color photos, this friendly, step-by-step guide gently walks readers through recipes to create amazingly delicious and nutritious meals. Victoria Boutenko and her family are known worldwide as the Raw Family, living on a raw diet and teaching classes since 1994. Throughout the years they have perfected scores of scrumptious recipes with the idea of not only spreading the gospel of the diet’s health benefits, but also making the raw foods lifestyle realistically possible and enjoyable.Mouth-watering rather than medicinal, simple rather than complicated, the recipes presented here include jams, scones, soup, crackers, nut milk, truffles, chocolate cake, mousse cake, and more. Complete, illustrated directions make it simple for both avid raw foodists and novice cooks alike to embrace the diet favored by Woody Harrelson, Demi Moore, Donna Karan, and other celebrities.

The best of this series

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 16, 2013

Verified Purchase

I looked over several of Victoria Boutenko's books, and was turned off by the different stories of her family's conversion to a raw food lifestyle. Each book I did a "Quick Look" at seemed to have a different version of this, yet not much variety in content. Well, I'm glad that I checked this one out, because I am very pleased with it. There is a very nice variety of raw foods choices and recipes, and they are all accompanied by step by step pictures to ensure that what you make is indeed supposed to look that way. I say that as a joke, but when you're in the middle of a recipe and the color or texture feels odd, it's good to have a visual references for reassurance.
Some of the recipes include: flat bread (with no flour at all), cultured vegetables, peroshkis, a garden burger with portabella mushrooms as the bun, raw mango jam, cranberry scones, nut milk, a chocolate cake (again, no flour) and much more. Once I get into these recipes, I may not cook for the rest of the summer!

A disappointing buy

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 4, 2011

Verified Purchase

I found this book very disappointing. While the author's goal was to present her recipes to her readers as clearly as possible, she stretched it too far. The book is full of pictures through out, it should have been called a pictorial book. I wouldn't mind seeing pictures esp. if they are necessary but this book shows pictures of almost every move in the kitchen! For example: page 5 shows pouring of olive, agave, lemon juice in 3 separate pictures. Don't readers know how to pour them all in 1 container? On the same page, chopping ginger and adding it to the blender-- why show each step in separate pictures when it could have been done in 1. I mean the whole page could have just showed 1 or 2 photos and still got the directions clear, instead of 6. And that's just page 5. the same pattern is repeated throughout the 160-page book. Just one more example: page 19: slicing the carrots and putting them in the blender was shown in 3 photos, then it's followed by 4 other pictures showing the same ingredient being blended and poured. The presentation is just ridiculously pre-schooler. Waste of space.
Having said that i don't necessarily put the whole blame on the author but equally on her reviewers and editors and whoever saw the final copy.
I will still try to buy another Boutenko book as i've heard more positive reviews about her and her raw family.It's just too bad that i started with this one.

Great for the beginner, Well laid out

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 15, 2010

Verified Purchase

This book is well written for someone who intends to seriously consider a Raw Diet. The majority of the recipes do require specialized items, such as a dehydrator, juicer, and a high quality blender. If you plan on investing in these items, this book is a great resource for learning the basics. I have not made any recipes yet but did read through the entire book in about 30 minutes. There are about 10 basic recipes including flat bread, salad, dressing, soup, green smoothies, etc. Cannot wait to get my dehydrator and make the flatbread! Another note, the majority of the recipes have standard ingredients found at your supermarket.

Great start for raw food

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 27, 2013

Verified Purchase

This book seems a good place to start when going raw. I really like all the full color, step by step illustrations. There are not too many recipes, but enough to give a cook an idea of raw creating. I really like the section in the back telling what equipment she uses and even where to find it. I would use this book as a companion to her others or to get someone interested in raw foods. I am happy with my purchase.

I like living raw food,and enjoyed many recipes. My favorite is Cranberry scones in this uncook book Victoria Botenko is well known in her teaching,and trying healthy recipes.
This family came to USA,and got sick from eating our food ....so they turned to living raw food and got well and stayed here.
I tried the Peroshkis,mango jam,and jam cake, all delishious ♥️
I will try Igor’s life flat bread next

good solid recipes...but still dissappointing

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 19, 2011

Verified Purchase

First off the the basic recipes in this book are great! If you don't do a lot of cooking and need pitures to help guide you through in the kitchen or are intimitated by the whole raw food approach, then this book is for you. However I found this book frustrating as it is really and truly a step by step guide. It has pictures of EVERY single step for each recipe. There are only approx 20 recipes and for myself I do not need pictures of how to chop a pineapple to make a smoothie........I bought it because it was titled raw family and I was looking for raw food recipes to feed an infant, no luck.

wheni was first introduced to raw foods in 05 my girlfriend who brought me to the idea (a dear friend from 12-step groups) gave me a few of victoria's raw books to read over. i quickly ordered my own copies. sort of raw in her way of being i adore victoria and her story as well as the story of her family and their raw journey, come to think of it shes the reason i first bought teva sandals! (jus finished that review, lol) just as i still love teva's i still love victoria's books, ideas, way of expressing herself, etc. it a really nice book and i love the easy follow along steps.
