Long-time friends Leah and Daisy set up raw superfood confectionery company The Hardihood in early 2015 to prove that eating healthy desserts does not mean compromising taste or beauty. Their range of handcrafted desserts comprise all-natural ingredients and are completely free from refined sugar, gluten, wheat, dairy, and soy. They’re also raw, which means the ingredients are not altered by heat and thus maintain their nutritional value and integrity. Raw Cake is about making beautiful, raw desserts that appeal to everyone. Using key healthy ingredients like nuts, coconut oil, dates, rice malt, and powdered super foods, these unique flavor combinations will delight your taste buds. You’ll find bite-sized raw treats like Caramel Crunch and Carrot Cupcakes, as well as crowd-pleasers such as Pineapple Sorbet, Chocolate Orange Cake, and Banoffee Pie. Complete with 100 recipes, nutritional breakdowns, and food styling techniques, Raw Cake will help you to create sensational-looking and healthy cakes. Review: Great! - Very nicely put together book. I've been doing smoothies etc. since the 1970's and what makes much of this nice and fresh for me are ingredients, fresh ideas/recipes (and of course better blenders etc). Nice photos. Too many times honey is in "vegan" recipe books and not declared as being not vegan. In this book it is an option for those not vegan. A lovely book for those new to raw goodies, cookies, cakes, smoothies etc. and I greatly recommend. Review: Raw Baking at its best - Excellent book! I am learning all about soaking nuts and finding sweetness in dates . This is the food of our future . I love it !

5 Star Book!
Quality book, well written with beautiful photography. The recipes are vegan, use wholesome ingredients and look wonderful. Technically, not completely raw as some of the ingredients (like oats, coconut cream, etc...) should not be considered raw. Still, this is a 5 star book!

Beautifully Raw
This no-cookbook is filled with delectable raw recipes! I'm excited to begin commit to a fully raw diet and this book is going to help with the transition.

not vitamix friendly
I made the lemon blueberry cheesecake and the process almost killed my Vitamix. The recipe specifically says to use a power blender but don't, Vitamix blenders do not function well with lots of fats and no liquid. Next time I will use the Cuisinart food processor (in which I had to transfer the rest of the mixture). Made this for a friend's birthday and haven't tasted it yet but it's pretty and looks good.

Beautiful Book - Great Recipes
Really beautiful book but the edges came bruised and did not look new. It was a gift so this is unfortunate.

Two cake recepies in the entire book
So for the book called "raw cake", I feel cheated. There are only two recepies for the actual cakes. Some for cheescake, donuts abd treats. And I'm sorry, I don't need a recepie for yogurt with berries. Very misleading title. They were sure to include pictures of the author, but forgot the cakes...

Très beau livre et envoi soigné
Livre reçu avec retard et après réclamation mais ravie de mon achat. De plus aucun souci par contre pour un précédent achat, je recommande ce vendeur et le livre !! Seul bémol : pas assez de visuels dans le livre à mon goût.

Each recipe from this book was and continue being enjoyed.
I have these book for two years and now and continue enjoying its recipes. I am so glad and happy that I bought this book without any reference, only on my own choice. In addition to the recipes, it has useful nutrition information, book is written and presented in very girl-chat style, it gives a feeling like you join authors workshop. I may say, that authors included into this book their two big harts. Big thanks and appreciate to Daisy and Leah.

This book has become a solid favourite in my kitchen
This book has become a solid favourite in my kitchen. What an amazing collection of smoothies, tarts, puds, cakes, desserts and more! The recipes are easy to follow and who knew so many everyday healthy ingredients combined would be SO DELICIOUS. The Hardihood are raw food alchemists! I can't recommend this book enough. My favourites so far have been the Mango, Lime and Avocado Mousse Tart, Sticky Toffee Apple Pie and Beetroot Red Velvet Cupcakes! I adore this book so much it is going to be this years Christmas gifts sorted!
