Summary: Great starter book - not pretentious, just delicious
Comment: I love this book! I was attracted to the simplicity of preparation and the nutritional benefits of raw foods. I noticed that "raw food" was some kind of concept or entity a few months ago and was immediately fascinated - no dealing with a hot oven or stove, no heavy greasy pans, delicious ways to eat more vegetables and get more nutrients, no worries about heat destroying nutrients, and NO POTS AND PANS TO CLEAN!
Cornbleet made this book easy to read (good layout with good use of white space), lots of enticing photos, extremely clear and concise instructions, and with individuals or couples in mind (recipes are for 1 or 2 people).
I am having a great time making raw marinara sauce (my carnivorous hunter husband says it is the best marinara sauce he's tasted), walnut pate (so delicious!), almond cream, key lime pie, and green smoothies - all from this book. I love not having to heat anything. I am also making traditional dishes the raw "way" (no heating) and substituting beans or tofu (not considered raw) because it's so easy and far more flavorful!
If I had known about this way of eating when I moved into my first apartment, I could have had a blender and a food processor and just bought lots of fresh fruits, veggies, seeds, nuts, oils, maybe some bread and yogurt, but you get the picture - minimal appliances, minimal mess, and maximum space, nutrition, and energy.
This book has simple recipes that make preparing and eating your raw vegetables and fruits truly easy, pleasurable, and delicious. None of the recipes require a dehydrator. A few of the other raw food books radiate "Hey, look at me, I'm a really cool yuppie bohemian in a cool boho location whose social life revolves around raw foods and cool friends with plenty of expendable income and time" but this one is not; the focus is on the food. Raw Food Made Easy is a simple, no nonsense, inexpensive approach to making foods (that we already eat raw) infinitely more interesting and satisfying. I can't recommend this book enough. The Boutenkos are also excellent resources for raw foods.

Summary: A wonderful treat!
Comment: I bought this book along with the DVD and they are both very informative. Especially for people starting out, this book is an easy way to get on the path to raw foods. I found the transition from cooked food to raw fairly easy..things that I crave ie. chocolate and cheese can easily be made to taste like the real thing or better! I would also recommend reading "12 Steps to Raw Foods" by Victoria Boutenko. It is such an informative, interesting read on a familys quest to eating 100% raw foods. Another great book is "The Raw Life and "Raw Knowledge" by Paul Nison. These two books are really what got me sparked on the raw food life. Incredibly informative and I learned things about cooked food that made me swear I would never return to eating it! Paul Nison also includes many interviews from raw fooders and raw food icons such as Viktoras Kulvinskas, co-founder of the Hippocrates Health Institute (formed with Ann Wigmore) and Gabriel Cousins(founder of the Tree of Life Rejuventation Centre) and author of "Conscious Eating" (A MUST READ!)
Raw food has changed my life in so many positive ways. Best wishes to all for choosing to explore this wonderful journey!

Summary: Delicious recipes, good layout, clear and easy to follow
Comment: I've been preparing raw food for a couple months now. Juliano's RAW uncookbook was my first book (I wouldn't recommend it for starting out, I didn't get really into raw food until the two books I bought after). I got this book and ani's raw food kitchen at the same time. They're both great books with delicious recipes. I use them a lot, and like them for different reasons. This book is more simple, which I enjoy as the recipes are quicker. I feel that this book helped me the most to understand the basics of preparing raw food. The ingredients are all easily available (unlike juliano's and sometimes ani's). Yes some of the recipes are a bit obvious like making your own lemon juice, but I'm not hung up on that because there is much more to the book than a few over-simplified recipes. If you get this, I highly recommend the almond cookies and carob mousse made with avocado (I love making these for people who aren't familiar with raw preparation, they are always shocked and gobble them down!) But really, most of the recipes are awesome --except for the energizing purifying juice, not so much.

Summary: Easy and well organized
Comment: I am not a vegetarian but was looking to move toward a more healthy eating style. Jennifer Cornbleet's Raw Food Made Easy is true to it's title. She organizes the book well including an equipment list on each recipe page, provides a weekly shopping list which makes grocery shopping a breeze. I've tried several of the recipes and liked them all. This is a well organized book with plenty of resources for the beginning Raw Food enquirer.
