I really liked it, there's alot of good recipes and I also really like that there are some non-vegan raw recipes included. Very simple and easy to follow, delicious! Much better than most raw food books out there and the sweet foods are not sickenly sweet but just right. Also doesn't depend on lots of special, expensive superfoods. I found it down to earth, some neat inspiring stories were also included and a few pictures. I only would have liked to see more pics. I'd recommend getting this book along with her first book, Eating in the Raw.

I bought this book after seeing Carol Alt on TV recently. I like the book, too, and agree that it gives a lot of practical directions for beginners in the kitchen, such as "Put the Zucchini in the food processor and pulse until it is chopped into very small, uniform pieces, but not to the point of being mush. You want to retain some texture."
However, there are two things I don't like about the book: 1. None of the recipes have a summary about nutritional content (calories, proteins, fat, etc.). If you live on a caloric budget, you'll have to calculate these values yourself from the ingredient list. 2. The index at the end of the book is not cross-referenced. For example "Zucchini Crackers" shows up under "Crackers, Zucchini" but not under "Zucchini." This is not very helpful if you look for ideas about what to do with the stuff you have left in the fridge. Still, I think this book is a very good introduction and has some good ideas for raw recipes -- and the pluses outweigh the minuses by far.

a vegan Raw Brownie recipe, who wants anything else?,
By Kirsten M. Houseknecht "Practice is the midwi... - Published on Amazon.com
Ce commentaire est de: The Raw 50: 10 Amazing Breakfasts, Lunches, Dinners, Snacks, and Drinks for Your Raw Food Lifestyle (Paperback)
Yes, this book includes a Raw Food Brownie recipe. The texture is variable, depending on your kitchen equipment, and the taste isn't precisely right, but its DARN good. To be truthful, i bought this book for the brownie recipe.
This book contains basic information you will need to start your raw food life, including the basics of sprouting, soaking, making nut milks, and so on. It includes most of the information from her other book "Eating in the Raw" in a condensed form. It also has far more recipes, and fewer testimonials and "how i got here" stories. some of her recipes call for a food dehydrator, or serious prep time (a common problem with the higher end Raw food recipes) but there are many items in this book that can be made with no equipment of note, or a blender alone. The Juices and smoothies section is excellent, if basic for someone who is experienced in Raw Food living. The recipes are clear and do not assume a great deal of expert knowledge. Most of the main course type recipes are for items that replicate cooked foods, like mock lasagna, and this is true of her desert recipes as well. The book has an extraordinarily high number of deserts and mock "cooked" meals that are still within the capabilities of a typical raw food beginner, and may be especially helpful to someone trying to make dishes that won't scare off the more conventional eaters in a family. 36 of 37 people found the following review helpful:

Carol practices what she preaches,
By Penni Shelton "rubyvroom" - Published on Amazon.com
Ce commentaire est de: The Raw 50: 10 Amazing Breakfasts, Lunches, Dinners, Snacks, and Drinks for Your Raw Food Lifestyle (Paperback)
Carol Alt's first book, Eating In The Raw, was my first real introduction to the world of raw foods. As a life long sufferer of IBS, I was always looking for dietary information that might help to ease my symptoms. The raw diet did just that for me.
After having such a significant turn around in my health, I was interviewed by my local paper and later, was contacted by Carol's writer, David Roth, and asked to share my story in The Raw 50. Working with Carol was a marvelous experience. The exposure to her left me with inspiration, as she truly practices what she preaches. Her knowledge and longevity in this lifestyle is something you can 't argue. Her skin, hair, eyes and aura are radiant, and at 48 years old....she is amazing. No, I don't eat raw meat or dairy. I follow a high raw, vegan diet and I live free of irritable bowel syndrome. I have found the majority of the recipes in the Raw 50 to be a wonderful and delicious addition to my diet. Just like anything else, take what works for you and discard the rest. I fully recommend this book to anyone interested in incorporating more raw into their diet. 39 of 41 people found the following review helpful:

The RAW 50 gave me a lot of information on why to eat raw. Even thou Carol says that you don't have to eat raw 100% of the time, I can't image eating any other way! I am always on the run, so I invested in a food dehydrator, visit my local farmers market once a week and take two hours on a Sunday to prepare most of Carols burgers, quiches, meatloaf and snacks for the week. I feel extremely educated with all the information that Carol provided. Who knew about Coconut Oil and how healthly it really is! Thanx for a great book!
