Your Favorite Un-Cook Books For Beginners

[dakinimind]

I found a great un-cook book for the neophyte...it's called Raw Food Made Easy for 1 or 2 People by Jennifer Cornbleet. She has some good recipes as well as a couple of great ones (walnut pate is one of my staples). She also helps to organize a raw kitchen with information about kitchen equipment, grocery lists and other basic information (sprouting, soaking and food staples) for a beginner rawbie. Jennifer Cornbleet is a graduate from Living Light Culinary Arts Institute in California.

What are your favorite beginner (or advanced) un-cook books?

Alissa Cohen's Living on Live Food book AND Dvds. They answer just about every question one could think of; she's get menu's, resources and over 365 recipes. Jennifer's book is good and easy but new folk have questions; Alissa's book and dvd's have the answers.

I second that. Alissa's book AND DVDs are THE best out there. I know - I have about 35 of 'em!

Trust us on this one.

Alissa's, totally. With help from this board, Alissa's book is gold!

I haven't seen the DVDs yet (I know, shame on me! ;) ) but I do love the book-- it is very informative! What I love about the book, also, is the pictures! I love raw books(or any recipe book, really!) with pictures, and Alissa's has nice big ones!

I made my own cookbook once years ago, I searched forums for raw recipes and cut and pasted it into wordpad, I cleaned it up a bit and printed it out! They were all the simple recipes that people are actually using. :) (I did avoid stealing recipes that people said were from books, unless I actually owned the book, I just took the ones that started out like "you won't believe what I created last night!" I still use recipes that I found then, my favorite is just diced tomatos and avocados, yummy).

Without a doubt, I have to agree that Alissa's is my favorite too... but when I want to try a variety of more complex recipes, Raw Food Real World is good. The only drawback is that so many recipes use ingredients like nutritional yeast, maple syrup, nama shoyu, etc. (which I typically do not like to use).

I with everyone else, Alissa's book is great for beginners.
