Softcover - 216 pages

Featuring over 250 healthy, easy recipes, Fresh manages a balancing act very few alternative cookbooks achieve: presenting simple yet sophisticated recipes for experienced raw foodies while providing all the information needed to guide the uninitiated toward a live-food diet.

Fresh has recipes for savory dishes, fermented foods, travel and survival foods, drinks, and desserts, plus an inventory of all the uncommon fruits you've wanted to eat, but didn't know how to handle. A special section introduces readers to foraging for wild edibles, with color photos and recipes for each plant. With a concise review of key kitchen equipment, an immersion into the five basic flavors, and suggestions for ways to get kids involved in a raw kitchen, this book will inspire the adventurous chef to experiment with confidence.

Sergei and Valya Boutenko (the second generation of the renowned Raw Family) provide a blueprint for adapting to the three common stages of the raw-food lifestyle that is based on their fifteen years of experience, as well as all the advantages of the diet..

Not only do Sergei and Valya prepare the most delicious raw foods, which is talent enough, but the clarity, wisdom, and insights they share about food and health are breathtaking. This book is a must-read for any aspiring health seeker—no question. What they teach now is unbelievably cutting-edge, and everyone should know it.

—Karen Knowler, the Raw Food Coach

Valya and Sergei's new book inspires and encourages people to explore, persevere, and also to be courageous and imaginative with their new way of eating. They offer helpful and practical guidance and recipes that provide a foundation for success and enjoyment on a raw vegan diet.
