"I found quite a few good recipes in the book. The biggest problem I had with it was how the recipes are laid out: they are grouped as meal plans (appetizer, meal, dessert, drink) which makes it harder to find a dessert if you're looking for one."
"I like really Carol Alt's reasonable approach to the raw food diet. I have no interest in being entirely vegan, which this book is not, and let's face it - if I choose to embark on this diet on a permanent basis, I am going to cheat from time to time. So why not just go with that? Plan your cheating accordingly and choose wisely. Don't overwhelm yourself trying to eat 100% raw and aim for 75% instead. Raw and seared fish and raw dairy are okay and you can still be "raw" without going vegan. I like this plan, because I don't feel like I have to deny myself any of the things I love.
I borrowed a copy of this from the library as a trial run, but I've already gone ahead and ordered a copy for my kitchen collection. I've read her first book as well, which is a primer on the basics of the raw food lifestyle, and it's worth a read through. But, if you are going to pick one to purchase, The Raw 50 is the one to go with. It contains a lot of the instructional information that the first book has, plus tons of great recipes. It's also less of a testimonial than the first book. I think those types of books are great for a read-through, but I don't really need to ever come back to that for reference.
Now, a word about the non-vegan approach to this book: I'd say only about 10 to 15 percent of the recipes contain raw fish, eggs and dairy items, and some are easily substituted with raw vegan options. I wouldn't let the fact that this isn't an entirely vegan book scare you away. There are some really great recipes in here. Of course, this lifestyle does require some time and planning, but I didn't find this book to be overly-complicated, which has been a problem for me with other recipe books in the past."
"I like Carol's book becauase it seems more "real" than others I have been reading. It emphasizes raw milk, raw cheese, raw eggs...unlike most of the other raw foodiest who are vegan."
"Great recipe book for those interested in improving their nutrition with raw food. What I like about Carol is that she's not a raw food zealot. She just wants people to improve their diets and gives you some super yummy suggestions on how that can be accomplished."
