Eating raw isn't just for naturalists anymore. Today, health-conscious eaters are filling their plates with the foods nature has already prepared. And these foods go well beyond the sprouts, carrots, and celery typically associated with this type of diet.
In Living Cuisine, celebrated raw chef Renée Underkoffler shows how varied, exciting, and healthy raw-foods cuisine can be. She introduces the many benefits of eating raw and offers guidelines for incorporating this healthier regimen into one's lifestyle. She provides clear, step-by-step instructions for raw-foods processing techniques-juicing, sprouting, culturing and fermenting, dehydrating, and even blanching.
At the heart of Living Cuisine are the more than 300 tantalizing recipes inspired by a wide range of ethnic and regional foods. These beverages, soups, salads, appetizers, side dishes, sushi, entrees, and desserts are all delicious and simple to prepare. This unique resource includes thorough information necessary for a foray into raw-foods living

"So often, raw foodists (and raw food cookbooks) are militant to the point of being a total turn off. This book takes a much more compassinate and conciliatory tone, recognizing that most of us are just trying to live a healthy life style and that it's a challenge to be 100% raw every day. I appreciate that this book includes moderately cooked recipes, like soups and steamed vegetable dishes. And even though I own a dehydrator, I'm glad that this book is light on recipes that call for one.
So why only four stars? Because, out of 497 pages, there's only 200 pages of recipes. The rest of the book consists of overly detailed explanations of ingredients, techniques and appliances. This is strange to me, as the recipes are fairly simple. I would have appreciated another 100 pages of recipes in place of the nutritional breakdown for all of the vegetables, fruits, grains, nuts and seeds called for in the book. That said, it's a great book full of simple and delicious recipes that will make you glad to be a raw (or aspiring raw) foodist."

- I have several raw cook books. I received this one last week and it is quickly one of my favorites. I love the introduction and descriptions and don't at all mind the repetitive nature. In fact, I like that I am constantly reminded of the same things. I've been raw for about 18 months now and forget some things. In this book you don't have to go back and forth to revisit a topic because of the redundancy.
I've made 5 recipes so far; one of her burgers, shakes, veggies, cookies and soups. I prepare raw meals for people and each of these has been a hit with everyone including my 4 year-old daughter. I find that the ingredient list is not complicated, the preplanning is not difficult, and you can simplify the recipes by using dried herbs, frozen corn/fruit to make them in 5 to 10 minutes. (Fresh is always tastier and filled with many more enzymes but if short on time, it's better to make these adjustments then to eat SAD)
I do miss the pictures, but you can get a picture in your mind from the ingredients. I wouldn't skip the book because it lacks pictures. If you are a baker, get this book for the desserts. Introduce your family to decadenct taste without the processing and show them how they can eat dessert for dinner!
As for steaming, I don't do it, but I like how she says, let your body decide. I marinate veggies in a glass bowl in the sun and they are divine. Try this before steaming. Put the glass bowl on the dash of your car during work and come out for lunch. Make sure the bowl has some sun exposure or you might not get the softening you want.
Juilano's Uncook book is also a favorite of mine, but Living Cuisine has the same complicated taste of Juilano's without the unusual ingredient list and long prep-time. I think that both are worth-while, Living Cuisine is definitely for any level though!
You won't be sorry if you purchase this book. Out of 5 people that I made the East side burger for, all said that it was delicious, the best "veggie" burger they ever had! - Was any editor involved before publishing? Half of the book provide little or zero information. I mean author describe every single piece of food, like broccoli for example. Even pork chop eaters are familiar with vegetables and fruits this author describes. It is good to know your audience. And raw food audience is much more advanced. So forget half of the book and go to recipes. I found it interesting that some of the food is steamed. Now how can that be raw?! Of course the middle part could be uncooked, but that's the same as eating stir fried vegies. The nuts used in recipes--not all of them are sprouted. I tried at this point a lot of recipes and most of them are very delicious. Eggplant lasagna, wild rice salad (would never thought uncooked rice is so delicious)and many, many others are wonderful. No use of extraordinary ingredients, and author provides also ideas for substitution. My complaint is that there are no pictures. Why? With digital photography and cheap printing, I should have been inspired. I looked when this book was published (2003) and I think this author-chef is pioneer and others who followed perfected, derived inspiration from her recipes. Recipes are easy to make, it is true and this is really great part. Definitely very useful book for somebody who likes raw,but is not willing to commit life to food preparation-) Still, there is no raw without some effort.
- My background is that I'm a great cook and I love creating and trying brilliant new recipes. I'm not a vegetarian or even a raw foodie just yet, but want to understand the full spectrum of delicious foods that life can offer. Living Cuisine is a must have book for any true food lover!
I have bought several other raw books (Raw Food/Real World, Ani's Raw Food Kitchen, Carol Alt's The Raw 50, and more) and they were all good. I do recommend them as well.
BUT!
If you can buy ONE book, this is the one. Living Cuisine is absolutely amazing. The recipes are excellent. There is more information packed into this book than I've seen in ANY cookbook, and trust me, I have TONS of cookbooks of all kinds. She interestingly informs on types of food, ways of cooking, tools, techniques, and more ingredients than I've ever heard of.
I was very impressed by the ingredient list. So many kinds of foods, with info about their flavors, origins, methods of cooking them. This includes seasonings, sweeteners, and anything that creates flavor. In fact, she goes into detail about flavor groups and how to mix and use them.
I could go on. Just know that I can't say enough about how much I love this book. Please enjoy! - So often, raw foodists (and raw food cookbooks) are militant to the point of being a total turn off.
