My thoughts:
This is a great "uncook book" for raw food beginners. The vast majority of the recipes don't require a food dehydrator. This made me happy because I don't have one of those yet. If you have a food processor and a blender then you'll be able to make most of these delicious recipes. Also, sprinkled throughout the book are little tidbits on green living. This is a fun book with easy recipes that I can't wait to try!
