review 1: not a fan, unless you are an intense vegan/raw food person these recipes would be hard and expensive to make. It was interesting in some ways but I was not impressed overall with the recipes for the normal person. if you live in an area where you can get these ingredients than it would be great but I live in the middle of nowhere near an organic/health food store is 30 miles away and way expensive.
review 2: Definitely an interesting read! I found myself wanting a little more though... The book is mostly recipes and resources, I would have liked a little more dialog. The recipes themselves look good but there are a number of them that require ingredients I have never even heard of, or that require a dehydrator which I don't and probably won't ever own. A lot o
... moref them are also very labor intensive so I tended to shy away from a number of them; but I do have quite a few bookmarked!This book is obviously targeted toward vegans and not those that are contemplating it, though he does make a compelling argument to its environmental importance. I'm not necessarily pro-vegan but I am a conscientious eater - both for my own health and wellness but also for the environment. I tend to buy local and organic when I can and we don't eat a lot of meat to begin with, and very rarely beef. I love that he is an athlete and a lot of his recipes are geared toward pre-workout energy and post-workout recovery. I will definitely be using his sports drink and energy gel recipes for my training. less
