Vegan and Raw Recipes, simple and deliciousThis little book contains the recipes that have thrilled Jennifer's friends for years. Regarding her meals and treats, many have said, "If I could eat like this everyday, I'd happily become vegan." Although Jennifer happens to be vegan and enjoy a mostly raw diet, this book is not about how raw or vegan food is better. There is no dogma, just simple delicious recipes and the philosophy that food grown, prepared and shared with love is the most nutritious and healing. A quote from Glenda Green's book Love with End, says it all, "Vegetarian ideals should not be prematurely forced on people who are not ready for them. It is far more important that people awaken in their own hearts and incline in that direction as they look for greater health. In the meantime, you will benefit more by gratitude and appreciation for those who have bestowed the bounties of life on you. For I assure you, it is not by food that you are nourished, but by love." The book includes recipes for: Dips, Spreads, and Sauces, Appetizers, Soups, Salads and Salad Dressings, Main Dishes, Cookies and Crackers and Raw Desserts. The reader is well-prepared for ease and success with an introduction to some potentially new ingredients common to raw and vegan food preparation and a section on essential kitchen supplies. The recipes are easy to follow, simple and surprisingly rich in flavor, texture and heartiness. To learn more about Jennifer visit her on the web at www.YogawithJenniferLynn.com.

Victoria Boutenko, Elaina Love, and Chad Sarno have been leaders in the raw food movement since the 1990s. Each of them maintained and promoted the 100 percent raw diet for years. Since then, all three have independently arrived at the same conclusion: that a totally raw diet is not necessarily the best diet. One reason for their shift in thinking is the latest scientific research on the impact of omega essential fatty acids on human health. Studies show that if eaten in excess, omega-6s can cause inflammation and obesity. A typical raw food diet contains large quantities of nuts and seeds, most of which are extremely high in omega-6s and low in omega-3s.   Raw foodists are not the only ones lacking sufficient omega-3s in their diet. Because omega-3s are easily damaged by heat, anyone whose diet is high in processed foods and oils probably has an omega-3 deficiency. Many symptoms of this deficiency can be mistaken for other health problems or nutrient deficiencies, so few people realize the cause of their ailments. Boutenko’s chapters on omegas provide readers more in-depth nutritional information. One hundred recipes—from raw to steamed and lightly cooked dishes, from appetizers to desserts—offer readers the means to enjoy a more sustainable, healthy, and energetic lifestyle.
