Peter Daniel - Rawlicious: Delicious Raw Recipes for Radiant Health

Rawlicious outlines the first few steps across a bridge into a new paradigm. In this magical world we are aware of ourselves as particles within the body of the Earth. In this world we are awake, connected, open, and blissful, and our footsteps are simply whispers in the sand. We look up at the sun and stars, we watch the moon rise over the dark sea and cast its glittering light over the water, we feel the Earth beneath our feet, and marvel with awe and wonder at this vast and expansive dream.

This book could not have come together without the intricate weaving of the hand of the Spirit. When things are meant to be, they flow, and this book is an expression of that flow. The right people have appeared at the right time to offer not only their skills but their laughter and enthusiasm, too. Without them you would be looking at blank pages.

Firstly, we have to thank each and every one of you who have attended our raw food events and asked, When are you going to write a book? It is your desire to see these recipes compiled in a book that gave birth to this project.

Rawlicious is a precious gift to all food lovers who enjoy healthy eating. The book offers a wide spectrum of delicious raw recipes along with a well-written guide to food preparation and is accompanied by gorgeous, breathtaking photographs. The selection of recipes includes soups, salads, dressings, crackers, juices, smoothies, mousses, and cakes, and a wonderful variety of main dishes. The reader can choose from simple recipes that take a few minutes to prepare or more elaborate recipes that will enhance any festive event.

Authors and raw food chefs Peter and Beryn Daniel begin by sharing their insights about the benefits of eating raw, tips on transitioning to a raw food diet, growing sprouts, and more. In the chapter called Our Raw Food Kitchen, the Daniels provide practical advice about how to stock your kitchen in the most convenient and productive way. Experienced raw food teachers, they then gently escort the reader from one tasty recipe to another.

Rawlicious is richly illustrated with many masterfully done shots of scrumptious dishes and includes photographs of Peter and Beryn growing fruits and vegetables, preparing meals, and enjoying a cup of healthy cheer, which creates the feeling of visiting a young, healthy family and watching them harvest their own produce. Their photographic artistry inspires us to see the beauty of every plant, whether cabbage or sprouts, and even of organic dirt.
