The Raw Truth: The Art of Preparing Living Foods

The latest food trend is so retro it's practically primeval: fruits, vegetables, seeds and nuts untouched by temperatures greater than 108 degrees Fahrenheit. In this title, restaurateur and consultant Jeremy Safron exalts the delicious simplicity of preparing living foods. In a down-to-earth, no-fuss style, he teaches the fundamentals for soaking and sprouting ingredients like almonds and sesame seeds to make appetizing, hearty, proud-to-be-raw dishes. But these dishes aren't only tasty, they're healthy too. Raw foodists claim that raw foods contain all the enzymes needed to break down on their own, plus more vitamins and nutrients than their cooked counterparts.
