The beginning of your raw food adventure!

Whether you eat 100 percent raw, want to learn more about living foods, or just want to do a system cleanse of your own, "The Raw Gourmet" is your ultimate guide. At 219 pages, it's packed with helpful information and healthy recipes developed by author and chef Nomi Shannon for ease of preparation, simplicity and speed, so whatever your level of food expertise or familiarity with raw foods, you should be able to make a great meal. "However far you go," raves Brian Clement, Director of the Hippocrates Health Institute in Florida, "you will gain enormous benefit from the simple act of following Nomi's guidance in this wonderful world of power-charged cuisine."

Choose from:

• 11 Breakfast foods
• 18 Juice and blended drink recipes
• 69 Veggie and salad recipes
• 29 Entrees
• 30 Desserts
• 66 sauce, gravy, soup, dip, dressing, topping and marinade recipes!

Even if you will never go 100 percent raw, knowing how to make your own condiments -- including Notmayo! -- sauces, gravies, dressings and marinades can keep you from consuming tons of chemical additives in store-bought varieties. But the wholesome recipes are only the beginning of "The Raw Food Gourmet." You'll also get valuable information and resources that go beyond the scope of a simple cookbook, such as:

• Resource guide for foods and equipment
• Detailed food combining chart
• 3 week sample menu
• Grocery guide
• Suggested shopping list
• Sprouting chart
• Seasonal buying chart
• Special occasion meal suggestions

The Raw Gourmet has an exciting variety of dishes, enabling you to mix a little raw food in your diet each day, go on a three-week cleanse, or go completely raw for life. There is also valuable information in Nomi's introduction on the health benefits of going raw, how you can benefit from eating live foods, how a raw diet can help reverse disease conditions, and her personal tale of how she freed herself from years of pain and discomfort by switching to a raw diet. "Nomi's recipes could change your life," says John Wood, chef of Woody Harrelson's 02 in West Hollywood.

Since Nomi Shannon is not only a chef but a certified Hippocrates health educator from the world-renowned Hippocrates Health Institute, she's also included Optimum Choice Raw recipes, which are recipes based on the principles of food combining used at exclusive health retreats and living food health institutes all over America. By following the Optimum Choice Raw recipes, you can get the same experience at home for which a health spa would charge you upwards of $1,000 a day.

Learn how to make:

• 3 kinds of raw burgers
• 6 different nut milks
• Raw pizza-substitute
• Faux Sushi
• New versions of your favorite desserts -- all raw!

This full-color, glossy 8 1/2 by 11-inch cookbook is filled with beautiful photographs that will inspire you to create your own healthy living foods cuisine -- and Nomi's expert instruction leaves plenty of room for you to play and create, or follow her directions to the letter, whichever you prefer. Each recipe includes notes on how you can make your own variations, and some suggestions for getting creative. The over 200 recipes you'll find in "The Raw Gourmet" are only the beginning of your raw food adventure!
