Customer Review: Beautiful and delicious
I don’t subscribe to the raw foodist beliefs and certainly not to veganism, I follow a paleo type diet. I bought this book looking for some new vegetable dishes and because I like to eat a lot of stuff raw. First, this book is very well presented, full of mouthwatering photos that will really make you want to make the food. The sauces are nice and the rolls are great. They have become a staple, kids love them and there is plenty of room for experimenting with fillings. Treat this book as a source of dishes to add to other dishes, rather than of meals and it is well worthwhile
Customer Review: Also a little disappointed…
I also find the book slightly lacking in substance. Lovely photos, lots of good sauces, starters and sweets, but I would like to see more gourmet main meals.

Customer Review: Inspiring and delicious - brings back memories of my own travels and the desire for new ones!
I absolutley love this book - so much that I keep giving it as a gift and reccomending it to friends over and over again. I’ve travelled through many of the countries in the book and the writers tales of how they came across each dish really bring back memories of my own adventures and the desire for new ones! It’s essentially a culinary travelogue. Also fantastic are their vegetarian adaptions of classically meat dishes which I was unable to try on my travels as I’m vegetarian but can now attempt at home. The photographs of the locations and the food are inspiring and the recipes easy to follow. I’ve used the book for casual meals and dinner parties alike.
Customer Review: Lovely vegetarian world-view
I purchased this book on a whim but it proved to be a good one. This book is a blend of travel, food and social commentary as we hear tales of how they got to places and the people they met there. Just looking at the pages can give some escapism from the dreary British weather! I liked the way that the authors tackled locations that are not already plundered for recipes, instead looking for new recipes and how different people in exotic locations eat good wholesome food that is largely accessable by us back here. It was interesting especially to read the Caribbean section which although they admitted was largely a meat-eating cuisine, they could still find vegetarian dishes or ways to easily replace the meat in the local recipes. I have to say that some (not all) of the recipes are more dinner-party/’feeling special and brave’ choices, and that I was disappointed that the recipes have a standard serving of 6, which although good for a wholly vegetarian big family or dinner party, it really means maths or leftovers for me as I live in a veggie-hostile environment!!! That said, the recipes are delicious, exciting and the authors refuse to rely on one cooking method or ingredient as I have seen in lesser books, wholly worth it even if it is for when I feel brave in the kitchen!!!

Customer Review: Definitely going the right way, however UK sourcing is a nightmare.
Their sentiment is sound and the writing style invigorating. I’ve tried a number of recipes but tend to go for the simpler ones bc of the time to a)soak and b)dehydrate involved for many of the dishes. The greatest problem for us raw vegans in the UK is sourcing - whilst they list US websites, they don’t do similar for the UK and I’ve only had partial success finding even half the ingredients they talk about. So be warned!
Customer Review: I would love to be able to follow it
Lovely book. Great photos. The only down side is that for most recipies you would need special equipment like a dehydrator.
