Ani's Raw Food Kitchen, By
Ani Phyo
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
A cookbook dedicated to raw food appears oxymoronic
to the uninitiated, but people who aim to pursue a raw
vegan diet soon realize that eating uncooked foods involves
more than simply chomping into whatever sits on grocers'
produce shelves. Phyo shows how to create more complex
flavor harmonies. Nutmeats of all sorts serve as a basis
of many recipes, offering a spectrum of uses from cheese
substitutions to pie crusts. Dates stand in for the
sweetness less healthfully derived from refined sugar.
Raw zucchini strips mimic fettuccini. A close reading
of the nutritional analysis for each recipe reveals
the high levels of dietary fiber this diet introduces.
Although most of Phyo's ingredients are readily available,
she does occasionally call for unfamiliar items such
as liquid aminos, a replacement for soy sauce. Phyo
also provides recipes for raw vegan dog food. Illustrations
consist mainly of photographs of the author. Knoblauch,
