The photos look so inviting that you want to start making the recipe right away. Yes, I do hug this book sometimes too...:)
Braggs Liquid Animos is not a raw food, and neither is Nama Shoyu. Yes, nama mean raw in Japanese, but that only means the end product is not pasteurized, not that it's actually a "raw food". Bragg's is not only heat processed but also processed with hydrochloric acid resulting in glutamates which will cause a reaction in folks sensitive to MSG.
And the reason seaweed salad is bright green in Japanese restaurants is not because they "maybe use food coloring", but because they do a rinse with baking soda to keep that lovely bright color.
Just a couple of examples. It's one thing if you're talking to your friends saying "hey, I heard such and such" but it's entirely different to choose to publish and perpetuate that kind of thing. Just not cool.
All of this is easily available info online, but you can't get a get out of jail free card just because you're super cute for your age - if you publish a book there's some responsibility there, especially when the information is a couple of clicks away.
Having said that - she has a charming writing voice, the recipe are great, I love that she's not adamant that if you ever eat non-raw life is over, the photos are fantastic, I love everything else.

Simple advices and tricks that makes us healthier and vibrant and good being reminded of.
As for the recipes part, they are very original and well detailed, this Mimi is a real lady with lots of life experience which makes this book even more captivating (its so hard to believe she's 73...). She takes us around the globe and we can have our favorite dishes prepared RAW.
This book follows me everywhere!
Ein großer Teil besteht aus sehr guten Rezepten, vorne erzählt Mimi von ihrem Leben und gibt 29 Tipps zur Ernährung, man spürt das 70 Jahre Lebenserfahrung dahinter stehen, sie überzeugt durch ihre positive und fröhliche Art!
Die Fotos sind herrlich, die Gerichte sehen fantastisch aus, sie schafft es z.B. etwas so einfaches wie einen Rote Beete Salat so herzurichten, dass er super aussieht! Alles macht einfach nur Lust es gleich selbst auszuprobieren! Ich habe sofort meinen Green Star Entsafter wieder aus dem Keller rausgeholt!
The Authoress clearly has a love for humanity and life, she comes across so genuinely and includes advice about staying young, how to take care of our bodies she even advices that we should all celebrate our birthdays for a month straight!
The book is packed with colourful images of delicious looking raw food with clear methods of preparation, and it's a good quality and colourful book printed on good quality paper.
I cannot recommend it highly enough, when i've read it i'll proberley write another review if Amazon will let me!(Smile)
