Product Description
Medical researchers have found that a high-fat, high-sugar diet, combined with environmental pollutants and stress, can lead to a buildup of toxins in the body collectively known as chronic degenerative disease. Here holistic physician Gabriel Cousens provides a dietary regimen that may help reverse this process by introducing whole, natural, organic, and raw foods into the diet. These restorative "live" foods can reverse chronic disease and bring back health and vitality. This eclectic cookbook shares 250 delicious vegan recipes from chefs at the Tree of Life Cafe. Dishes include Avocado Salad with Rosemary, Green Dragon Broccoli, Raw-violis, Lavender Milk, and Carob Coconut Cream Eclairs. International entrees, juices, and aromatherapeutic remedies are also featured.

 recipes are not balanced February 5, 2010

I've only tried one of his cracker recipes....it was so gross I threw out the whole thing. If I had read more carefully the ingredients, I would have noticed that 1Tablespoon of salt was an extreme amount for a batch of crackers. Then I went through his other recipes, they seem to be grossly imbalanced also (but to be fair I haven't tried them). To me that says a lot about the philosophy as well (extreme, imbalanced). I still believe your God-given sense of taste is the best way to judge if a food is good for you or not. I for one can actually taste the difference between an organic and non organic apple. I think raw food that tastes bad...is still not good for you. for those who are comtemplating the raw lifestyle, don't be discouraged if you haven't found any recipes you truly like, there are some really REALLY great ones out there, I just don't think you are likely to find them in this book.
 Excellent! January 30, 2010

Processed foods and sugars are poison. Eat better and live longer. Read this book and add at least 10 years to your life. It's scary how much better I feel after eating like this for 8 weeks. If you are reading this and care about your health then check it out,... out of your local library. I bought this book b/c it ROCKs. Live, Love, Be.... BeLive.
Educational & Delicious July 26, 2009

What sets this apart from the other raw recipe books is its use of 'phases' for foods. Like, Phase 1 is really low on sweets (fruits & starches), Phase 2 incorporates a few, and Phase 3 does not limit sweets (these are the desserts). This is super handy for diabetics or people watching their glucose intake (for health, weight issues, cleansing purposes, etc).
Oh, and it's educational! It's not just recipes...the first 150 pages are a great introduction (with medical information) about the raw food lifestyle. I've also bookmarked its nut/seed soaking guide, the list of foods & which phase they fit into, and the essential oil nut milks.
And the food? Delicious! The ingredients are easy to find in any market, and most recipes call for a small amount of ingredients (even if it seems like a lot, it's probably just a lot of spices or other staples). I have yet to try a recipe that I don't like. From the dressings to the puddings, salads & entrees, I reeeeally loved everything!
 great ideas but included recipes weren't what I expected June 5, 2009

After seeing "Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days with the RAW diet", I became interested in the Tree of Life's nutritional information & raw food. If you're new to raw, it basically means a diet of whole, unprocessed, natural, organic items. They can be dehydrated or warmed, but most raw books say they should not be heated over 115 (or 140F depending on who you ask), as this begins to break down the proteins/enzymes.
The background was interesting. I didn't agree 100% with all of his theories, but he did have some ideas worth considering.
My problem was that when I got to the suggested foods, they almost all required a special high-end dehydrator with thermostat. Once put into the special dehydrator they'd have to sit for hours. This means I'd be mixing up food in the morning for tonight's dinner -- that's not going to work for me. Some of the ingredients I've never heard of, despite being a regular shopper of my local gourmet & health food stores. It needs more practical recipes. I was also frustrated because when I think of raw, I think of fresh-local-organic. I don't think of obscure ingredients shipped halfway cross the globe.
