The opposite is true for this book--there are SO many good recipes available and I think that makes it a great value. I received this product for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,252,388 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #347 in Raw Cooking #3,057 in Vegan Cooking (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 294 Reviews | ## Images ![The Raw Deal Cookbook: Over 100 Truly Simple Plant-Based Recipes for the Real World - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81mwXnIFPRL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Approachable, informative, and easy to read *by S***. on April 20, 2016* Whether you’re considering switching to a raw foods diet yourself, needing to learn how to prepare meals for guests who only eat raw foods, or simply interested in more innovative ways to use vegetables, fruits, beans, and grains in your everyday menu, you’ll find the raw deal cookbook to be a useful resource to have on hand.

There are over 100 raw food recipes in ... *by A***E on April 10, 2016* Prior to acquiring this book, I knew little to nothing about raw eating, but I found the author to be very enlightening on the matter. They explained what raw eating is, the health benefits and even the pitfalls, tips for living a raw food lifestyle, faqs, and more. Everything is organized nicely. There are over 100 raw food recipes in different categories, such as breakfast, beverages, salads and soups, entrees, sides and snacks, fermented foods, desserts, and dips, dressings, sauces, and spreads. While most of the ingredients are pretty straightforward, there are a handful that I would have trouble finding at my local grocery store. The recipes are easy enough to put together, especially since no cooking is required, but some ingredients do need to soak for an extended period of time. For example, some nuts need to soak for up to 8 hours before preparing. Therefore, some of these recipes couldn't be made on a whim.
