I am new to raw food and raw food talk. I've been a vegetarian for 5 years and was looking for new recipes and books when I came accross raw food books at amazon.com. I ordered one (The Complete Book of Raw Food) but found it too complicated and put it on the shelf where it collects dust now. Then I started to search more online about raw food and came across Alissa's web site. I finally ordered the book and dvds which I received about a week ago. The whole concept doesn't seem so complicated anymore after watching the DVDs.

I don't have any health problems, but I guess I should loose about 10 pounds. Most of the foods in the recipes I really like (i.e. avocados, carrots, oranges, nuts...) so I am excited to try them. Two of the staple foods I don't like: bananas and sea weed. Oh well, still plenty of other options.

Here is something funny: I decided about 2.5 years ago that I put my dog on 100% raw food. I read about it and found that would be healthiest for her. And she is doing great on this diet. Healthier than before - no more expensive vet bills! Somehow it didn't cross my mind that raw would be good for me too! Go figure.

Well, I wish everyone a happy, healthy year 2006.

Welcome IZZ,
I'm relatively new to the board also. It's great that you have been seeking answers. Good for you to have sought out raw books and tapes. I think you'll find a lot of support here.
Wishing you and all my raw food comrades a safe and prosperous New Year,
