Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

This extensive volume provides a compendium of information on the chic raw foods movement. Underkoffler, a Maui-based restaurateur and workshop facilitator, devotes several hundred pages to descriptions of fruits, vegetables and the other essentials of a raw foods diet; the economic and social effects of eating raw foods; and the health benefits of adhering to such a diet. Many of the volume's recipes make the prospect of eating all raw foods quite appetizing. Indonesian vegetable Pad Thai in Coconut Sauce, Golden Butternut Soup with Provençal Pesto, Pesto Stuffed Mushrooms and Crumble Apple Strudel Bundt Cake are all dishes that even non-raw converts might savor. And the author offers little tips to help soften the strict rules of eating raw. For example, she explains, "A wonderful secret of raw foods preparation is to serve soup in a warmed bowl. It allows the flavors to bloom a little bit more and keeps the soup warm without having to heat the soup to unhealthful temperatures upon serving." For readers who don't mind lukewarm bisque, or the significant effort that goes into preparing it, this book offers nice variety and valuable information.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yum and Yay, Feb 5 2004

By A Customer

The lovely Renee has distilled her years of wisdom into an info-packed tome of good, happy eating. This book is about eating and preparing food that fuels and supports the body, mind and spirit. I have had the good fortune to know Renee and partake of her scrumptious pies at her former restaurant in Maui; her enthusiasm and compassion shines through every page. I have yet to try the recipes, but I've already gotten myself some red quinoa (who knew it came in colors other than beige?) and have been reminded of the importance of food as a healing and supportive element in my life and not just stomach-stuffing. I'm grateful to have this book to guide me back to eating well. I'm also glad that now when people say, "You're a vegetarian? But what do you eat?" I'll have something to show them -- something brimming with solid information, flavor, vitality and yum.

These high quality recipes include Vanilla Bean Cookies; Basic Buckwheat Crunch Cereal; and Layered Nueva Corntillas among many more delicious favorites. A superb guide for those seeking to explore the health benefits and fine culinary taste of raw foods, Living Cuisine is a welcome and much appreciated addition to any gourmet cookbook collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspired Cuisine with Grace and Spirit, Jan 25 2004

By	Lincoln Heartsong "Barefoot Sage" (Pacific Northwest) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A wonderful addition to the growing raw-foods cookbook list! This is a delightfully written, very engaging book that would be an excellent introduction for anyone interested in a living foods lifestyle.

The first half of the book is a compilation of information, from advice and the benefits of going raw to a comprehensive list of foods, tools and techniques. Very useful for the beginner (even veteran raw foodists might learn a thing or two).

The second part of the book consists of Renee's delicious vegan recipes (no animal products or dairy). Everything I have tried is tasty, elegant and nicely balanced and her desserts are outrageous!

Unlike Trotter and Klein's wonderful but complex "Raw", the offerings here are very easy to assemble. My one complaint is that many of the side notes and paragraph headings are printed in very pale gray. The lack of contrast makes these very difficult to read... it's a design flaw but doesn't diminish the overall quality of the book.

As a raw chef, myself, I think Renee has done a masterful job of creating a book that will appeal to everyone. Simple, straight forward and delicious. There is a real sense of love and joy that pervades this book. Highly recommended!!

Bon appetit!
