Book Description

Publication Date: April 9 2007
One of Canada’s hottest restaurants puts a Fresh spin on vegetarian cuisine!

Toronto’s Fresh restaurants are consistently rated as among the most popular restaurants in the city. Appealing to vegetarians, vegans and those who enjoy meatfree meals as part of a healthy diet, Fresh has evolved from a humble juice bar into a chain of three dynamic and gorgeous downtown restaurants.

reFresh is a new edition of Ruth Tal’s first book, Juice for Life (Wiley 2000, 978-0-7715-7690-4). Completely revised and updated, reFresh offers the reader a sumptuous selection of the best recipes found on the restaurant’s menu today, all in a gorgeous full colour package that reflects the award-winning style and design of the restaurants themselves.

New in this edition:

  • Over 100 of the latest recipes from the three Fresh restaurants
  • A fresh new design that calls attention to the health benefits of various menu items
  • Information on nutritional supplements that can be incorporated into the recipes for an added boost!
  • Up-to-date information on buying and using a juicer at home
  • A complete recipe index
  • A new foreword by renowned chef Susur Lee

4.0 out of 5 stars Complicated Delicacies! Sep 24 2008
By Joanna
Format:Paperback
Delicious recipes with loooong lists of ingredients. Not for a spontaneous cook: you need to carefully plan which recipe you're going to cook, do all the shopping required for that recipe in advance, and then block off some time to carefully craft your selected dish.

E.g. "Simple Rice Bowl"

-4 cups cooked brown basmati rice (see p. 3 for instructions on cooking rice)
-1 batch Tahini Sauce (see p.98 for instructions on preparing the Tahini Sauce: 6 additional ingredients + food processor)
-8 tsp tamari
-2 carrots, grated
-1 bunch parsley, chopped
-1 lemon, cut in wedges
And, it is typically served topped with Marinated Tofu (see p. 90) or Marinated Tempeh (see p.89).

And this is the SIMPLE Rice Bowl :-)

For whatever it's worth, I made it, and it was absolutely delicious, but very labour intense... ideal for a restaurant, but a little impractical for a weeknight supper at home :-)

Having said that, the dishes really are delicious, and worth the planning and the effort. The book itself is beautiful: glossy paper, a ton of gorgeous colored pictures...

As to the juice recipes in the second part of the book: they're surprisingly tasty and easy to make.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Jan 24 2012
By why do I need a pen name?
Format:Paperback
Terrific book. I visited one of the restaurants and many of menu items are in this book, despite it being their oldest book (new version of, that is). The recipes are fairly simple; in fact I'd even call them too simple. I have others, in a similar theme, that are only marginally more complicated and tastier, but I bought this book for the theme and to to build a base of experience in fresh vegan cooking (I'm not a vegan, but can't eat dairy and I'm trying to cut down on refined foods) and this book achieves that. Way too much juice content for my interest, but I knew that before I purchased. Heck, maybe I'll get a juicer.
What I like best is the way in which recipes build on one another. ie the Sauce section includes a handful of sauces that are used and built upon elsewhere in the book. Perhaps obvious for sauces, but also true for other sections. This makes it easy to use up left overs, and aids in recipe cross-pollination.

5.0 out of 5 stars Oustanding! Jan 4 2009
By Jay
Format:Paperback
I really enjoy the recipes in this book and cannot wait for my next visit to Toronto to eat at Fresh. The veggie burger recipe alone is worth the price of the book, IMO. The marinated tofu (done on a George Foreman grill at my house) is also a winner. To the people at Fresh restaurant - thank you for sharing.
