It is 10 years since Grub Street published the first edition of this book and since then it has never been out of print. Now the author has revised and updated her original and most successful raw food book and it appears for the first time in full colour. In the years since the book first appeared raw foods have never been more popular as people discover their tremendous healing and health-giving benefits. However raw foodism is more than just the latest dietary fad; historically many cultures and religions have placed value on the eating of 'living' foods, and proponents have been helping others overcome life-threatening diseases since the early 20th century. Many who are new to the diet may imagine that eating only uncooked foods would be restrictive and boring, but this is far from the case. There is a wealth of fruit, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and sprouts to discover and use, and with the use of equipment such as a juicer and dehydrator, a whole host of ways to prepare them. This book includes almost 150 recipes, some of which allow the occasional non-raw ingredient to reflect the author's non-proscriptive attitude to a raw food life-style, in order to encourage those who may not want to go the whole way but are interested in incorporating something new into their existing diet. This book is ideal not only for those who want to adhere to a raw food diet but also for those who may simply wish to embark on a week or two of detoxifying.

Eat Smart, Eat Raw has now been published in four countries, France, the USA, and Australia, as well as the UK. Read an extract here. There's also some sample recipes in our recipes section.

The book comes signed by Kate.

Review:

"The recipes in this book are simply wonderful, and are easy enough to prepare. What's particularly nice about them is that generally once you've made one of the recipes once, it's easy enough to remember that you can easily experiment with your own variations the next time you make it. 

There are a range of different raw recipes in here; from breakfasts to dips, nut butters and sauces, through salads and main courses, to recipes for cakes, ice creams, smoothies and sweets. There is a small section in the back containing cooked-but-healthy recipes (including a healthy alternative to chips) to help people with the transition as well. There is a wonderful recipe in here for raw pizza! 

Wood talks openly about her own experiences on the road to becoming 100% raw in a down-to-earth and unpatronising manner in the introductory pages. She also provides advice on growing your own sprouts and suggests equipment, giving suggestions of suppliers along the way. 

All of the recipes are made up of ingredients you can easily find in the UK, again with suggestions on how to get hold of the more esoteric ingredients. 

Fantastic little book for anyone considering increasing their intake of living foods - a real inspiration!"
