Product Description
Cookbooks need not—indeed, should not—involve cooking, say the authors of this authoritative, beautifully illustrated book. And they should know. Sergei and Vayla Boutenko bring fifteen years’ experience to this collection of scrumptious, sophisticated recipes and comprehensive guide to the raw life.
Fresh covers the whole range of recipes, including savory dishes, desserts, fermented foods, drinks, and wild foods. Techniques common to the recipes are introduced and clearly explained, including an inventory of uncommon fruits and how to handle and prepare them, as well as an immersion into the five basic flavors and the herbs, fruits, vegetables, and grains that help chefs bring out each flavor best. The authors introduce the three stages of adaptation to this lifestyle and provide a concise review of minimal equipment requirements and ideal appliance additions for the well-stocked raw kitchen.

 Not enough to inspire September 3, 2010
Barcelona (Tucson AZ)
I ordered this book because the front cover and the index both looked tantalizing, promising great things! But the interior just fails to deliver.
Being already familiar with the Boutenko story (and I love it - I have all of Victoria's books and also the sibling's other cookbook, Eating Without Heating), I thought that there was entirely too much real estate given to the 'why raw food' intro. While it may be just what some people need to hear to start eating more raw, this is not the place. "Fresh" isn't a recipe book for beginners, so why put all that in there? This part of the book really felt as if it should be in another book.
Also, I need a lot more guidance in the preparation steps, and pictures would be helpful too; it's not that the book was terrible, but the last thing I need is another book just sitting on the shelf never getting used - and that's what this would be. It just didn't inspire me at all.
I totally agree with B. Perkins' review, especially [It's almost as if they took their index file and said "hey, let's make a book."]. I returned my copy for the same reasons. Perhaps in a couple of years, when I'm more familiar with raw foods and looking for fresh inspiration, I'll look at it again - but I doubt it, as there will be more options by then. Right now I'm using Raw Food Made Easy, Eating Without Heating, and Rawsome! but RFME is by far and away the best! Happy Raw-ing!

I enjoyed reading the stories told by the brother-sister authors. Very inspiring. Haven't used many recipes yet, but the ones I have tried, I liked.

Great fresh tasting salads. I haven't tried anything else yet but so far I have enjoyed all the salads I've tried. My family has enjoyed them also.
 Like the title says....Fresh! February 18, 2010

Wonderful recipes. I use this book more than any of my other raw books. Beautiful photos, also.

Fresh is refreshing and simple. It helped me to see how to integrate raw food lifestyle with my children.
