Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
The raw food movement is based on the idea of eating nothing that has been cooked, or even heated about 110F. For some who follow the diet, this might mean that they also eat uncooked meat products, like raw fish, or unpasteurized dairy. Many raw foodists are also vegetarians/vegans and refrain from cooked food and the raw animal products. Raw Food/Real World: 100 Recipes to Get the Glow falls into the latter category, with no meat. The book is written by two NY chefs who wanted to share the "glow" (of good health) they feel they gained after they switched to a raw food diet. Not just nuts and berries, the recipes include shakes, cookies, noodles and even pizza.
Like many raw food books, more than a few of the recipes call for using dehydrators and other appliances, so this book might be best for people who are interested in trying a raw lifestyle, as opposed to those who simply want a little more variety in their diet. That said, there are recipes that don't call for a dehydrator or special equipment, so if you are a curious or adventurous cook, don't be put off by that fact.
