I was trying to find more books to tell me more about raw food and the benefits. I've read "Fit for Life Not Fat For Life" and found it really interesting. What other books are really good on the topic?

Well, a classic in the field is Gabriel Cousens' 'Conscious Eating'

Brigitte Mars' 'Rawsome!'

Elaine Bruce's 'Living Foods For Radiant Health'

...and of course, Alissa's own book on the subject, which is an absolute treasure of raw food recipes.

No book is perfect and criticisms can be made of all books, especially those on nutrition, since it is such a minefield. Noetheless, the above are good starting points for anyone with an interest in Raw Foodism.

My favorite raw books are Alissa's Living on Live Food which I use daily, 12 Steps to Raw by Victoria Boutenko, The Sunfood Diet Success System by David Wolfe and Detox Your World by Shazzie.

One book I wish would get mentioned more often is Vibrant Living by James Levin and Natalie Cederquist. It is a wonderful raw foods cookbook with a wealth of great recipes. They even include a month's worth of meal plans for those who have no idea how to put together raw meals. This is an older book, but I think it's a gem!

See the quote below - I have the book and I agree - one can purchase it from Rhio's site! The reason it is not mentioned often is because most people do not know about them - there are actually three books by them, which are great!

Yes ... I have two of their books - the raw vegan cookbook and a low-fat [cooked] vegan cookbook. I really like them!
