Raw Food/Real World: 100 Recipes to Get the Glow
Raw Food/Real World: 100 Recipes to Get the Glow
Top New York chef and restaurateur Matthew Kenney and his partner, Sarma Melngailis, had been thinking of opening a Moroccan restaurant. But one night they were invited to a raw food restaurant — and it changed their lives. They instead opened Pure Food and Wine, a restaurant devoted to creative, tasty raw food, and it has been drawing rave reviews. Dishes such as Zucchini and Green Zebra Tomato Lasagne, Golden Squash Pasta with Black Summer Truffles, and Dark Chocolate Ganache Tart with Vanilla Cream have given raw food a sexy new appeal.
The decision to go raw was shocking at first for these two ex-carnivorous chefs, but they soon found that preparing and eating raw food made them and their guests feel their physical best. Melngailis noticed a difference almost immediately — “Light, clean, natural, and alive foods make you feel light, clean, and more alive. And sexy.” This new way of life has changed their outlook on eating and cooking and connects them to the world around them. As Kenney says, “Raw foods and the lifestyle associated with it are so compelling and complex that we will be forever learning and growing. Already it seems that we have discovered some of the magic that life offers.”
In this lushly photographed book, Kenney and Melngailis share some of that magic — and show that preparing and eating raw does not mean bland, unsatisfying, or impossibly time-consuming meals. Using dehydrating, Vita-Mix blending, a nuanced understanding of spices, and unprecedented creativity, they explore a whole new outlook on raw food that transfers beautifully and easily from their kitchen to yours — no matter what your present diet. And you’ll immediately begin to reap the benefits of healthful, delicious, life-giving raw food.
Customer Review: is it a cookbook or a fashion shoot?
I want to start off by saying that the recipes in here are pretty great, and I really like the pretty pictures of the fancy raw food dishes. I am not a “raw foodie”- I am simply a cook who likes to expand her horizons. I gave this cookbook four stars, because it fulfilled my expectations, and I was not disappointed with the recipes. Some are quite clever and have been well thought out.
However, I held back that fifth star for a number of reasons. First of all, the title is somewhat misleading. Many people can not afford to shell out money for truffles and nut butter smoothies. These recipes are certainly aimed at people with a little extra money to burn.
If you are thinking of becoming a raw foodist, make sure that you do your research! This might not be an appropriate book for a beginner, because many of the recipes could be a tad intimidating once you glance at the prep time. Dehydrators are used a lot. Good food can take a long time to prepare, so keep that in mind.
The one thing I really didn’t care for about this book was the abundance of photo spreads picturing the authors. They are an attractive couple, and that’s nice, but this is a cookbook. Chuck the thirty photos of yourselves and replace them with more pictures of the recipes.
Customer Review: Got the Glow
Absolutely love this book. The images of the food are excellent. There is an explanation for the kinds of food they use, and most importantly, the recipes excellent. The dishes are colorful and imaginative.
