Guest guest Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 I have been researching Amazon.com and just can’t make up my mind! I also did some searching and it looks as if the book Raw In Ten Minutes might be the ticket. The author claims you don't need a dehydrator or any fancy equipment to make the recipes. I have gotten other raw books from the library but I don't have the equipment needed to make most of the recipes. I own a blender, mini-food processor and juicer, That's it.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 I like Carol Alt's EATING IN THE RAW.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 There's nothing wrong with eating meat raw, providing it's good meat. When I eat beef I eat it browned on the outside and barely warm on the inside, about as close to raw as you can come. I like the book....yes, she explains the theory behind raw eating (and is probably promoting herself, too....why on earth else would anyone write a book?<G>), but she also has a great recipe section and a great resource section. I recommend it. I also have no's UNCOOK BOOK and Nomi 's THE RAW GOURMET. Carol's book is much simpler than either of those, although those are good, too, if you're building a library. I also recommend the web site www.thegardendiet.com. Lots of good information there. Sharyn From: health [mailto:health ] On Behalf Of Family I saw that one on amazon.com. I read peoples opinions and they varied so I just didn’t know what to think. Some think she’s promoting herself and just explaining why she’s the way she is. Also apparently she eats meat raw. Am I talking about the same book? It did sound like it would be fun reading her experience. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

Also, I recommend adjusting any diet to suit YOUR needs-many of us have tried raw diets, and ended up worse for the wear-it isn't for everyone. I would LOVE to be totally raw, but my allergies and digestive issues don't fascilitate that, so I modified by going about 80 percent raw/20 percent lightly steamed or cooked, but then had to cut down the raw even further.

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Penny, I have had Rene's book for about a month and I just love it. I have tried several smoothie, soup and saloup recipes and they are wonderful. I tried some dips and the kale chips recipe. The book has tons of information on how to soak nuts, how to go raw in stages. I also have watched several of her videos on her website and they are helpful. If you like her page on Facebook you get daily info which is interesting. Since watching her juicing videos I tried juicing this month. Juicing gives me more energy than just the green smoothies. I have squished the leftover pulp onto a cookie sheet and cut it into squares and dried it. That makes a very handy, tasty snack when I am going shopping and get hungry.

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 I have wondered if one could use Rene's recipe for kale chips, only put it all in the blender and pour/scrape it onto a teflex sheet and dehydrate and get crisp ships? I love her kale recipe where you make the mix in Vm and toss kale with it and put kale on dryer sheet but pouring seems easier.

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Hello Trish - I have an excalibur dehydrator (I bought it as a reconditioned unit on EBay) They offer a 10-year warranty and it is an amazing machine. If you have a Vitamix, an Excalibur, and Rene Oswald's book - you can make a TON of raw, tasty, and healthy foods! :-)BUT - an oven set on the lowest setting you can get it at, should make a lot of these things too.Look for "Kale Chips" in the Links>Recipes section - they are DIVINE (and dehydrated or baked) Blessings,Lea Ann SavageSatellite Beach, FL(321) 773-7088 (home)(321-961-9219 (cell)))><'>www.VitamixLady.comwww..com<))>< On Feb 25, 2012, at 8:05 PM, Trisha Meyers wrote: How do you dehydrate these things?

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Velda, Sure you can pour everything into the Vitamix and make kale crackers. You might need more vegetables to get the consistency right. I don't know if they would be as paper thin and crispy as the kale chips are, you would have to pour the batter thin. By the way I made more kale chips yesterday and they were the best I ever made. Here are the spices I used: Kale chips 1 bunch kale, stems removed- about 10 leaves 1 teaspoon curry powder, garam masala 1/2 teaspoon cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, paprika, white pepper, coriander few drops hot sauce 1 tablespoon chickpea miso 1/4 teaspoon himalayan sea salt 1/4 cup nutritional yeast, sesame seeds soaked overnight 1/2 red pepper 1 celery stalk Blend in Vitamix. Pour dressing over kale. Add 1/4 cup soaked sunflower seeds. Mix together with hands. I tried sprinkling the sunflower seeds onto the kale after they were on drying sheets and they did not stick, but they do stick when mixed in with the dressing.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Velda, That's what I am making today. It makes wonderful fruit rollups. I made Lea Ann's recipe for applesauce - 2 apples, little lemon juice, cinnamon and pour onto parchment paper and dried. Wonderful. I made some last week with added dates and they were too sweet, so today I cut out the dates. Janet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 Do you put all the spices in or just pick from the list?
