On a more practical note, I don’t have the time to spend in the kitchen preparing
gourmet raw food recipes ‐ I am no longer competing with cooked food for presentation
and style. This isn’t a contest. It’s about health and quality of life ‐ and I am not a “kitchen
person.” So for me, the quality of my life is inconvenienced by a lot of food preparation
time. However, I have friends that are kitchen people ‐ actually some that are gourmet raw
food chefs. Before raw food, they were gourmet vegan chefs, or gourmet vegetarian chefs,
or even French chefs. So now they apply their love for food and being in the kitchen to their
love of even better, healthier and even more delicious raw foods. In fact, one famous raw
gourmet chef I’ve met chose to become a raw food chef because he was always looking a
way to prepare the best‐tasting food on the planet ‐ and he learned that raw, organic food
actually is not just the healthiest food on the planet, but tastes better, too!
When first starting a raw food lifestyle, I recommend keeping this as simple as possible.
Simple is just easier, yet you won’t have to sacrifice taste and variety. So the recipes in this
book were selected to make your raw food lifestyle choices not just healthier, but easier
and more convenient. When it’s easy, the more you will actually do it! The more you do it,
the healthier you’ll get
Remember, there are no silver bullets or magical cures in this book. Improved health,
weight loss and even the “spontaneous remission” of many health challenges, in terms of
what I am sharing in this book, is a natural by‐product of a healthier lifestyle featuring raw,
organic whole, live foods. This book is intended just to make that easier for you!

I love salads just about more than any other meal! Maybe it’s just
me, but I can, and usually do, have a large salad almost every day. I
never get tired of them. They’re easy to prepare, and by switching
some of the ingredients or the dressing, you can enjoy a lot of
variety. Salads, for me, are the backbone of a raw food lifestyle.
No, I’m not a rabbit. This isn’t rabbit food. Yes, you will be accused
of eating rabbit food from time to time...just let it roll off your back
and take another bite off that carrot! Learn to have a sense of
humor, and try to learn not to preach or proselytize to all your
fast‐food‐loving friends about how they are slowly killing
themselves. That’s a good way to assure yourself of not getting
invited to any more parties! Of course, in my life I do tend to
proselytize, at least a little, but that’s my job! You don’t have to.
Instead, be an example that some may choose to follow.

Red Pepper Gazpacho
I started making raw soups when I first got into raw food, back in
1995, and I've been enjoying them regularly ever since. They are a
fast, easy way to include more raw foods in your diet, as they can be
made in no time. All you need is a blender and you're ready to go!
Remember, you don’t need to throw everything but the kitchen sink in
your blender. Simple is usually best. Just select 2 or 3 veggies, add
some water, seasonings and herbs of your choice – and don’t forget to
throw in a little avocado or some other kind of raw fat in there, such as
oil, nuts, nut milk or nut butter. That’s the secret to making creamy
soups. If using a Vita-Mix or other high-speed blender, remember to
pulse the blender and run it at a low speed to minimize nutrition-
killing heat.

No matter how delicious a raw soup or salad is, it can't take the place
of a good main dish. When most people sit down for a formal lunch or
dinner, they like to see an entrée, something impressive in the center of
the plate that can stand on its own. You don't have to spend hours
making a delicious raw entrée. As always for me, simple is better.
With only a few common ingredients, you can create a delicious entrée
in a matter of minutes. For an elegant touch, place the entrée on the
center of a plate leaving some white space around the food.

If you are like me – a human being – you love dessert. Making the transition
to a raw food lifestyle doesn’t have to make you feel deprived. In fact,
desserts may be even more important while making that transition than any
other time, because if you feel unsatisfied or deprived, you may start
building up resentments than can stifle your resolve to improve your health.
The great thing about a raw dessert is that you can eat as much as you want
and still feel good about it. If you have all the ingredients ready, it takes
very little time to make many raw desserts. As an added bonus, raw desserts
energize you and can even give you a feeling of well-being.

Juicing is an essential part of the raw food lifestyle. If you have a smoothie
and a green juice every day, you’ve already had 2 satisfying raw meals out of
3 – so you are already well on your way to being a real raw foodist!
Juicing makes it easy and quick to enjoy a raw lifestyle and be sure you are
getting all the nutrition – and also all the hydration – that you need every
single. Your body has to work hard to break down and process nutrients
locked in whole fruits and vegetables. But with fresh juices the nutrients and
enzymes have been liberated from the pulp and your cells can easily
assimilate the nutrition much more quickly. When juicing it is important to
“chew” so you thoroughly mix your saliva with the juicer. Digestion starts in
your mouth!
Remember, juices are in actuality “concentrated, processed” foods. Sure, they
are fresh, organic, raw and delicious, but they are not substitutes for eating
whole foods, and some juices are loaded with sugars. If you get a sluggish
feeling after drinking juices containing fruits, carrots, beets or other things
high in sugar, chances are you have hypoglycemia, candida, diabetes or any
disease that thrives on sugar. In that case, just start out drinking “green”
juices and avoid the sweeter juices at least in the beginning while your body
is still healing and detoxifying.

Raw Pet Recipes
Let’s not forget the rest of our loved ones in our search for a
happier, healthier lifestyle! In addition to basic raw food recipes
for your dogs, there are some great recipes for doggie treats, too.
These treats are not all raw...but they’re intended to replace
commercial products and can help your dog make an easier
transition to a raw diet. Remember, especially in the beginning,
you and your pets don’t have to be 100”% raw right away. I
suggested starting at 75% raw, so your beloved pets aren’t forced
to go through an uncomfortable detoxification all at once. An
animal’s body needs time to readjust to a healthier diet, to cleanse,
and to alkalize properly, just like yours.
• 1300 g raw muscle meat
(beef, chicken, lamb, quail, duck, etc. (not fish or pork!)
• 400 g heart 200 g liver (I alternate with kidneys)
• 100 g gizzards (excellent for a dental workout, which is important for teeth!)
• 600 g finely pulped or grated veggies (I mostly use carrots or plain pumpkin)
• spring water to desired consistency
• 4 eggs, lightly cooked
• 4 tbsp bonemeal approx.
• 60 drops of Liquid Trace Minerals
• 1000 mg vitamin C (amount is variable according to your cat's needs)
• 2 tsp salmon body oil
• 100‐200 IU vitamin E added directly to a meal, once a week
Basic Raw Dog Food (For a 20‐25# dog)
• 1/2 cup raw meat (ground poultry, beef, lamb, organ meats)
• 1/2 cup raw pureed vegetables (variety!)
• 1/4 cup cooked whole grains
• 1 teaspoon bone‐meal powder (double for puppies and pregnancy)
• 1/4 teaspoon vitamin C powder with bioflavinoids
• 1/4 teaspoon kelp powder
• 1/4 teaspoon minced garlic (not powder)
• 1 teaspoon oil mixture (2 teaspoons with poultry)
Oil mixture:
• 11 oz. canola oil (cold pressed)
• 2 oz. wheat germ oil
• 2 oz. flax oil
Keep refrigerated in an opaque container.
Some folks eliminate the grains and increase the meat and vegetables
proportionately, and only add the oil if poultry is fed. The meat must be RAW. Dogs
should only be fed RAW bones (cooked bones will splinter). Vegetables must be
pureed or they will come out looking pretty much the same way they did going in.
Wild canines get their vegetable matter by eat‐ing the digested intestinal contents of
their vegetarian prey. Variety is essential to deliver the correct mix of vitamins and
minerals.
