Raw Family Signature Dishes: A
Step-by-Step Guide to Essential Live-
Food Recipes by Victoria Boutenko
Awesome!
While the raw food diet is the fastest growing alternative approach to
eating because of its health benefits, preparing raw food dishes is so new
that many people don’t know where to start. With 500 color photos, this
friendly, step-by-step guide gently walks readers through recipes to create
amazingly delicious and nutritious meals. Victoria Boutenko and her family
are known worldwide as the Raw Family, living on a raw diet and teaching
classes since 1994. Throughout the years they have perfected scores of
scrumptious recipes with the idea of not only spreading the gospel of the
diet’s health benefits, but also making the raw foods lifestyle realistically
possible and enjoyable.

Mouth-watering rather than medicinal, simple rather than complicated, the
recipes presented here include jams, scones, soup, crackers, nut milk,
truffles, chocolate cake, mousse cake, and more. Complete, illustrated
directions make it simple for both avid raw foodists and novice cooks alike
to embrace the diet favored by Woody Harrelson, Demi Moore, Donna
Karan, and other celebrities.
Personal Review: Raw Family Signature Dishes: A Step-by-Step
Guide to Essential Live-Food Recipes by Victoria Boutenko
This book is filled with recipes that the Boutenkos would present during
their workshops. "Core recipes," they have been retested and refined over
many years.
Have you ever made a recipe and found that it just didn't turn out nearly as
nice as the stunning color photo in the book? One thing that makes this
uncook book unique is its step -by-step guide with photos of each step in
the process.
Arguably, even an illiterate or non English reader could prepare these
recipes! It makes you feel almost as though you are at a raw food demo
workshop. (Incidentally, this was done because of complaints from readers
that their recipes didn't turn out as good as the Boutenkos'.)
Years ago I paid $15 for a recipe booklet with photos of each step for Igor's
bread--and it was worth it for just that one recipe! Now you can get ALL
their core recipes in a sturdy book for nearly the same price! These
mouthwatering recipes are sure to become staples in your diet, demanded
routinely by family members, regardless of whether you "go raw" or not.
Healthy alternatives to chocolate cake, bread, chocolate truffles, etc! Guilt
free desserts, such as scones like they serve at Starbuck's, but without the
constipating, mind-fogging wheat! Some of the recipes are simple, some
more complex, yet the photos make even the complex ones seem easy.
We learn that raw jams have half the calories as their cooked counterparts,
and the sensational mousse cake recipe has only 1/6 as many calories as
the traditional one! Yet, no taste is compromised, and in fact, the raw stuff
actually leaves the cooked way behind in flavor.
There is even a guide (complete with daily photos) on how to make
sprouts. With this book, no one can use the excuse that the learning curve
for making raw is too hard; indeed, Victoria may put many of us that give
raw food workshops out of business!
Sprinkled throughout the book are some essays, including a list of the
benefits of green smoothies, and a story about how Victoria's husband got
involved in the food prep. The back of the book has a complete listing and
description of the kitchen tools and where to get them, as well as how
much to expect to pay.

I have dozens of raw food recipe books, but this one is destined to become
a classic---removing the mystique and fear of creating raw gourmet food
once and for all!
