I use my blender everyday and it's a workhorse. I like the kraft for scraping sauces out easy. No indents to trap your foods. Cleans in a breeze. Did you see the three great colors! The also have the two different size jars that are BPA free! Wildside is nearly 3 quarts and the basic jar is nearly 2 quarts.

Worth the investment. Great warranty.

Magimix by Robot-Coupe Food Processor Review

WOW!, In reviewing this 4200XL 14-cup Magimix by Robot-Coupe Food Processor, I was extremely delighted with the workhorse performance of this 4200 XL 14-cup Magimix Food Processor. This processor out-performs any other brand I've used in the past. It is not too big or bulky, just the right size. It comes with a nice carrying case for all the blades and attachments. I especially love the 3 separate bowl sizes. Use the 14-cup for one process, then move to the 12-cup for another, then if you need a quick 6-cup bowl for another step in your recipe, you've used clean separate bowls for each one. Simply Amazing! This 4200XL 14-cup Magimix Food Processor is powerful and works flawless. You have two options with the feeding tube. If you use the larger feed tube, it has a switch that starts the processor each time you insert it, which is great for all jobs big and small. Did I mention, easy clean-up? Yes, it cleans up very easy. This makes all my food preparation so much easier and it's a real time saver. I highly recommend this product, It's a joy to work with!

Raw Energy Book Review

Raw Energy: 124 Raw Food Recipes for Energy Bars, Smoothies, and Other Snacks to Supercharge Your Body by Stephanie Tourles published by Storey Publishing.

Don't waste calories on junk food when you can make raw food that the nutritional value is exploding. Your kids will never know your giving them healthy stuff. Raw Energy's 124 recipes consists of recipes for trail mixes, parfaits, energy bars, juice blends, smoothies, soups, vegetables chips, zippy dips, candies, and cookies combine raw ingredients into delicious snacks that are chuck-full of nutrients and long-term energy boosters.

I really like colorful, artful, well laid out books and Raw Energy has all of the above. It is full of images and photographs that make it interesting to look at.

The first three chapters offer basic information. They describe ingredients common in raw food preparation, describe "uncorking," and talk about some kitchen tools that are necessary and /or useful for this type of food preparation. Tourles provides a complete overview of benefits of raw foods.

The remainder of the book consists of the recipes themselves. There is a wide variety here, from nut milks and smoothies to trail mixes to cold soups. the instructions are clear and simple, and there are often several options offered in the ingredients list. Each recipe are ingredients that you usually have or can find quite easy at your local grocery or health food store.
