Superfoods – Rawlicious Recipe Book (Peter & Beryn Daniel)

Description June 2009 saw the launch of our first, and indeed South Africa’s first gourmet Raw Food Recipe Book, called RAWlicious. This is no ordinary cookbook. First, no cooking is done. And second, it describes a whole new paradigm in relation to food. Raw food is simple. Raw food is fun. Raw food is delicious and raw food provides your body with the nutritional building blocks for abundant health, energy and vitality. With over 140 recipes, our un-cook book will guide you to prepare and experience raw food meals that will delight even the most hardened sceptic. The sky is truly the limit in terms of raw food – vegan equivalents for old favourites such as pasta, pizza, pancakes and may I add, chocolate – yes, you heard me right! RAWlicious is a feast not only for the stomach but for the eyes as well. Our self published recipe book includes anecdotes and scientific notes as to why ‘going raw’ is the new healthstyle, not diet – now catching on in South Africa, hot on the heels of places such as the USA and UK, where there are now dozens of raw food vegetarian and vegan gourmet restaurants. Ever since we started running raw food courses in South Africa, people have been asking us, ‘when are you going to write a book?’ Well, your words finally got through to us and we’ve done it! Contents We’ve covered everything from juicing and smoothie making, to warm soups, scrumptious salads, simple meals, gourmet meals, decadent desserts and medicinal chocolates plus more – everything you need to make a raw food journey fun and fulfilling is sprouting within these pages.
