Amazon.com Review

"Gourmet raw cuisine"--if that sounds like an oxymoron, you'll be amazed by the creativity of the recipes in this book. Every food is "live" (uncooked) in these vegetarian recipes from Juliano, the raw-food guru of Los Angeles. Juliano believes that fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, beans, and seeds in their rawest and purest form are the most nourishing foods. If your imagination stops at alfalfa sprouts and grated carrots, hold onto your cutting board. Juliano's recipes include Butternut Squash Soup, New Moon Fruit Stew, Thai Green Papaya Salad, Living Buckwheat Pizza Crust, Mango Essene Bread, Mock Salmon Sushi, Raw Spring Rolls, seven varieties of burritos, nine varieties of pizza, and nine unusual smoothies. Desserts? Try EZ Pudding (made with maple syrup, avocados, and carob powder) or Cashew Gelato (cashew butter, maple syrup, and almonds, served frozen). There are also condiments, dressings, and sauces, and plenty of information about preparing raw foods, including how to soak and sprout beans, grains, seeds, and nuts.

It may seem like cheating, but a food dehydrator is permitted to "bake" pizza, cookies, and breads. It blows hot air, but never heats foods hotter than 120°F, which, claims Juliano, "allows all the delicate nutrients that are usually burned out of cooked foods to remain intact." Raw is filled with gorgeous color photos of the foods in all their vibrant colors and a number of photos of the vibrant Juliano (not in the raw). "Before you know it," says Juliano, "you'll be Raw and loving it." --Joan Price

Review

"Food fads come and go, Pan Asian, Haute Southern, Pacific Rim fusion, but the latest dining trends is actually the oldest: eating food raw." -- USA Today

"Juliano is the toast of Hollywood, somewhere between a chef and a guru. The food is spectacular, lush, colorful and tactile, he's more than a chef, he's an inspiration." --Spin

Raw and Ravishing

ByAutumn Miller-Wolfeon February 16, 2015

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

Juliano is charismatic, and the recipes in this book reflect that charisma and charm that he brings to everything he does.

This book is full of tasty raw vegan recipes from Juliano's own restaurant, complete with full color pictures, and an explanation on ingredient choice.

One should be aware of a couple things, however, before purchasing this book:

* This book is not geared toward the beginner in the raw food world.
Although the recipes have names that compare with meat-eating counterparts, the ingredients are - of course - vastly different.
Some of the techniques are not fully explained, as Juliano expects his reader to know a bit about the subject already.

* This book is geared more towards entertaining than the every day meal.
These dishes take time, love, and patience to prepare properly.
The ingredients in the book, although healthy, may be higher in fat and calorie content than you would care to have in a daily meal.

Side note: I have seen several people on here complain that the food they were able to produce with this book does not look the same as the pictures in the book.
Food styling is at work when you see that McDonald's commercial, look at a menu online, or - actually- buy anything. The food is supposed to look better in the book.
If you want your food to look the same, add better lighting and decor to your dishes.. you can accomplish that too. :)

Great if Not a Beginner Raw Foodist

ByRebecca L McMahonon September 6, 2015

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

This is a great book if your Not a beginner starting on a raw food diet like I was. The recipes are very colorful & have many ingredients. It does give you ideas for making a healthy diet with lots of colors. This book has tips on how to make foods faster with chopping & cutting techniques & talks about how long to soak certain nuts & seeds for the recipes & eating. I bought this book orginally because I was doing the Markus Rothkranz Raw Foods Diet Heal Yourself 101 to detox off all my prescription medications & improve my health. I have been able to get off all medications sucessfully over 4 months. Raw Foods are transforming to the tasebuds, everything has more flavor than cooked foods. I am searching for a simpler book, I bought the Love On A Plate book by Markus R & Chef Cara Brotman the sister of this Author Juiano Brotman. They mostly use cashews & seaweed in their Uncook book, beautiful pictures & great recipes except i'm allergic to legumes like cashews & they are in almost every recipe & i'm not sure what would make a good substitute. Healthy Living to Heal a Broken Body. Peace :)

TOO MANY INGREDIENTS, BUT A LOVELY BOOK

ByDorothy J Rogerson March 29, 2016

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

Although this is a beautiful book, I found the recipes to be too lengthy, with many ingredients I was unable to find in my supermarket. The recipes looked delicious, but rare, and hard-to-find ingredients kept me from actually making any of them. This would probably be better suited to someone who lives near specialty grocery stores, or in California!

a great book for those who are not easily intimidated

ByGlennon August 7, 2006

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

If you want evidence that raw foods can be spectacularly tasty, or if you want to prove to your friends and family that eating healthy doesn't require giving up truly enjoyable meals, this is the book. A case in point is the utterly delicious Pasta Marinara. It does require quite a few ingredients, but the end result is pure heaven. Several reviewers have complained that the recipes are too complicated or time consuming -- well, in fact there is a wide variety of recipes here, some quite simple and quick, others more elaborate. But even the more elaborate ones are not really difficult. They just involve blending several ingredients to get rich, complex flavor. For example, the previously mentioned Pasta Marinara took about 45 minutes to prepare, but this pretty much just involved chopping vegetables -- nothing tricky about it. If you can use a blender, you'll be set for a fantastic meal. And the recipes mostly rely on easily available ingredients. If you hate spending time on food preparation and expect to throw together a sumptuous meal in 5 minutes, then you might find this book frustrating. If you enjoy food preparation and -- more importantly -- savoring a wonderful meal, then this book is the real deal. For those evenings when I want something really great, I often turn to this book.
