For many, raw food is already a way of life. But when we try to explain it to friends, family or students who don’t yet know the pleasures and the benefits of eating raw, they may say, You can’t keep up your energy with raw carrots or Yuck! That sounds really boring or I can’t give up my pasta! To answer such remarks, Chef Alex has written The Raw Food Primer. She gently introduces first timers to the concept of raw foods and a vegetarian diet. Encouraging them to add raw food slowly to their diet, she avoids a zealous approach that may frighten off people curious about uncooking but not quite ready to give raw cuisine a full embrace. With her charming, low-pressure style, Ferrara eases the reader into true eagerness to try tasty raw dishes and reap the health benefits like more energy. Many people who have gone raw report that they have a leaner structure, clearer skin and eyes, and they no longer experience problems with allergies or fatigue.

The Raw Food Primer is perfect for curious students of this revolutionary food experience or the more experienced raw foodist — or anyone who merely appreciates delicious food.
