Raw Food for Real People

Can the good-for-you be just plain good? Chef Rod Rotondi's irresistible, international recipes prove that raw-food meals can be as delicious and satisfying as they are health-enhancing. Demystifying the more esoteric beliefs some bring to the raw food movement, Rotondi concentrates on keeping it easy and fun while exploring the history and health benefits of living food, getting started and stocking a pantry, sprouting and dehydration, and the needs of growing kids. Most importantly, Rotondi provides step-by-step recipes for every meal, from smoothies and granola to Rawvioli with Mushroom Sauce, Mexican Corn Chowder, a Thanksgiving Feast, and even Really Raw Apple Pie. Ideal for both longtime raw foodists and curious once-in-a-whilers, this is everyday inspiration for any kitchen.
