Live RAW by Mimi Kirk Book Review



Published by Skyhorse Publishing 
This raw food diet cookbook is another favorite in my house.  I've been excited about Mimi Kirk's new book "Live Raw" for quite sometime. She has been telling us all about it for a while. Have you ever heard of Mimi Kirk? She was voted PETA's sexiest vegetarian over 50--at age 70!! Need I say anymore about this excellent resource. Her recipes are elegant, easy and no long ingredient lists nor hard to find ingredients. For the seasoned raw foodie yet an excellent source for the beginner raw foodie just learning to add more raw cuisine to their diet. I'm an artist and I love the colorful pages and beautiful photography. So many great recipes and variations to the recipes. It's really chuck full of inspiration!! Thank you Mimi Kirk and Skyhorse Publishing!!
