Has anyone read this book?? I'm curious about it

[luvmylabs]

Has anyone read the book Living on Live Food by Alissa Cohen? The books is about how to eat a raw diet (veggies and fruits). Like taking veganism one step further. Or does anyone eat this way? Just wondering if anyone had any experiences to share.

Thank you!!

I don't have that book, but I have several books advocating a raw vegan diet. I actually believe it is a great way to live if you have the willpower to do it. I'm not there yet, and I'm not sure I ever will be, but by reading about it regularly, I am hyperaware of eating lots of veggies and fruits and just being healthier in general. It's made a tremendous difference to me already. I've seen the book recommended in places, though, so it probably is good .

Thanks,

Can you tell me what books you have, This is the only book that I have seen, I ran across it last night on the internet by accident. I had never thought to eat this way. I learn something new all the time.

I've read her book and have her DVD (it's very helpful).
I am not a raw fooder, but I do believe that a high -raw diet (80% raw) is very beneficial, and I try to start each meal with a raw food.

One thing about Cohen's stuff: she's really heavily into using the dehydrator. I've tried several recipes, and most of them are good. The stuffed corn tortillas are yummy, except I didn't get the 'crust' dry enough and so it ended up a bit gummy. The collard rolls are tasty (though I've tried another version of them, and not the exact one that Cohen uses).

Thank you Sara and Kathryn.

I'll gladly give you a list of what I do have soon. I can remember some titles, but not the authors, which might create confusion when you're looking for them .
