Negative Positive
Title: Good ideas, mediocre presentation.
Review: I was rather disappointed with this book. First and foremost, a recipe book should make a person salivate as they look through it. The pictures lack clarity and good lighting, and the book's design is almost too simple. That being said, the author does have some really good ideas and tips for making up your own recipes. Think of these recipes as very rough guides, just waiting to be tweaked to your own personal tastes. Her dips, pates, and marinara sauces are delicious though, and in my opinion they make buying the book worthwhile. Just don't rely on it to be your main sourcebook. I should also probably mention that the author isn't as picky as other raw chefs about most of her ingredients being raw. One of her soup recipes is actually cooked. On a sidenote, most of her dessert recipes call for avocados, so if you're allergic to them, like me ( oh, the pain!), you'll have to do some adjusting or just find different recipes.
