Chef Rod Rotondi and founder of Leaf Organics sent me this great raw food cookbook to review. Rod lives in Los Angeles and teaches courses and holds retreats. This book gives you an introduction to organic food, a vegan diet, our relationship with food, and notes about the recipes. He covers the S.A.D. diet, getting natural and mind over matter. The big question we always get about protein! He talks about the pH Acid-Alkaline Balance, oxygen, water, antioxidants, fiber, electromagnetic energy, B12.
Chapter 4 covers transitioning towards a raw-food diet, dealing with food addictions, exercise, detoxing and fasting.
Chapter 5 Setting up your raw-food kitchen, basic equipment, stocking your pantry, helpful hints for preparing raw foods.
Chapter 6 Sprouting basics, a word about nuts
Chapter 7 Dehydration: crackers, croquettes, pizza, and bread
Chapter 8 Breakfast, smoothies, nut mylk
Chapter 9 Appetizers
Chapter 10 Making a salad a meal
Chapter 11 Soups

I'm really excited about this book and can't wait to start trying recipes. I forgot to tell you it has 16 color pages which is wonderful. I love when they add color photos just gives you more of an idea of what a finished recipe is going to look like and presentation is a biggy!
