Revvell.......question, please

[city]

I read in a post of yours that you have one of the largest uncook book libraries around. I have a question please. Do you like Julianno's book? Amazon has some very poor reviews. What do you think? THANK YOU!!

BTW, if anyone else wants to chime in please do. I'd love to know what people think.

Thanks!!

I like the book - because it has flavor and while some of the measurements are not great, you can work with it. Searching on the recipe side, you will find that we quote him a lot. I could be wrong, but his is the first color raw food book, and it was useful when I got in the 90's - infact I have two. I too have a very large library, and I still refer to him over some others. I have been collecting them for over 10 years and have one from 1957.

I go along with SweetLips. I enjoy looking at his book and also creating recipes from it. I think his was the 3rd book I've gotten.

What is it you wish to know specifically that I like or not like?

If it's recipes, thing is, after awhile one learns to tweak stuff. At first, make it the way it says. If you don't have or don't like something (he uses hot spices a lot ~ mostly jalapeno ~ which I don't much care for. I have made quite a few things from his book I do like.

I have Juliano's book, too. I agree with sweetlips. The recipes have alot of taste! He uses salt,hot peppers, ginger, lemon etc.. to flavor his food. I love his meatloaf recipe.

However, one down side - sometimes, there is too much liquid called for in the recipe. Not always, but at times, I've just felt to eliminate or cut drastically back on the liquid called for, and it has turned out. If I wasn't particularly paying attention or not knowing how much dry to wet ingredients in the bowl, then I would have been disappointed in the recipe.

Hope this helps.

Cool! Okay, if you guys think it's a good book then I'll get that one too. The amazon reviews said that it was impossible to follow. I just got "Chocolate in the Raw" tonight. YUM.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE spicey foods, so I think I'm going to like Juliano's book. Thanks everyone!!

Thanks again. I was looking at a few (un)cookbooks yesterday and I got the title wrong - that's "Naked Chocolate" by Wolfe. I find that the raw food chocolate (and all desserts, actually) satisfies me far faster than cooked. It's SOOOO good. Thanks for the response it was very helpfull.
