While reading through this book, I couldn't help but think that one really needs to have time to prepare many of the dishes. That's not necessarily a bad thing; however, as an extremely busy working morn, I personally would be a bit overwhelmed using this book. Nevertheless, the dishes all look quite interesting; if you have the time and are willing to invest in a food processor, a Champion juicer, and a dehydrator, you'll be well on your way.

One section that particularly caught my attention was the raw pates. The Black Olive Pate is made with black olives, pine nuts, avocado, parsley, and tomatoes that are creamed in a food processor. The Intense Italian Pate calls for hazelnuts, sun-dried tomatoes, bell pepper, parsley, and a few other ingredients also blended in a food processor.

This book offers a wide range of live-food dishes, including entrees, salads and dressing, soups, fermented foods, breads, desserts, and much more. Nutritional analyses are not provided.
