Recipes for Life: A Raw Food Cookbook
By Becky Mauldin
Review by Sally Fallon
A raw food diet helped Becky Mauldin regain her health, and once her
health went from mediocre to excellent, she put together this attractive
collection of recipes.
Most all-raw cookbooks lean heavily towards juices and salads, but
this one includes many intriguing raw meat entrees from around the world--from
Kibbeh Nam, a raw lamb dish from the Middle East, to Juniper-Marinated
Arctic Char from Norway.
Actually, the book is not quite all-raw. Mauldin makes excellent use
of a dehydrator to produce flat breads, pastries, "baked"
apples, tarts, cobblers--even pizza! Her own diet includes steamed vegetables,
soups and barely cooked meat.
For the dairy intolerant, Mauldin provides a wonderful macadamia kefir,
which can be used as a substitute for sour cream.
Many recipes are based on crispy nuts, including some terrific gluten-free
crackers.
Beverage recipes include a delicious Mango Lasse, made with yogurt
and mango, and a blended liver tonic.
Recipes for Life is self-published and can be ordered from her for
$15 plus $5 for shipping and handling. Send a check or money order to
Becky Mauldin, 8111 Banks Mill Road, Douglasville, GA 30154. For questions,
contact Becky Mauldin at beckymauldin@hotmail.com
