This book was exactly what I was looking for: detailed nutritional information and some menu plans. It also had information on how a weight loss raw diet would be different from a weight maintenance raw diet. I also like that this book wasn't for the raw food fanatic because they still kept the possibility open that some readers might still eat some cooked foods occasionally. There is even a cooked meal in one of the menu plans. They also use ingredients in some recipes that aren't technically raw, like nutritional yeast, tamari, and vanilla.

In addition to the excellent nutritional information here, there is quite a bit about kitchen equipment and food preparation techniques.

I also totally appreciated that this book advocates a 100% raw vegan diet. No bee products here.… (meer)
