Hello! I'm looking for the easiest raw recipes. I'd like a book that has recipes that don't require a dehydrator or any crazy ingredients. I follow 811 and never make recipes, but my husband is willing to try raw if I make some interesting recipes. Would you either post your easiest no-fail recipes or guide me to a recipe book? Thanks!

Get Jennifer Cornbleet's book: Raw Made Easy for 1 or 2 People. (I think that's the title).

i have alissas book and when it calls for a dehydrator i put it in the fridge instead to harden. works very well for me.

but then again i dont use any of the recipes that involved sprouted grains to make raw breads and crackers bc i dont eat grain.

just a thought though.

I love the refrigerator idea! I don't have a dehydrator, so I will have to try that. :)

I tend to just eat raw fruits and veggies the way they are - fast, easy, no messing about. I can see, though, that it could get kind of boring after a while if you are an adventurous eater and crave variety.

Blended soups are pretty easy. Lettuce wraps are nice too if you have some raw veggie burger premade and grated vegetables handy.

Sorry I'm not more help.

I have Brigette Mars book "Rawsome" from the library right now and I love the recipes I've tried so far and a lot of them are pretty easy.

Last night I made a great spread that my 10 year old loved. It is out of Alissa's book for Eggplant Pizza. Only use the "topping" part and we blended it up in the food processor and spread it on flax crackers. But it would be great as a lettuce wrap also.

In it is 1 c pine nuts, 1 tsp celtic sea salt. Blend first, then add via pulse chop to keep a little chunky, 1 c spinach, 1/2 cup button mushrooms and 1 c soaked sun-dried tomatoes. IT IS GREAT! It tastes like cheese pizza topping!
