Raw/living food - lots of options ( tanyamcbee )
I had tried raw/living food 2 different times and was up for a 3rd time trying it. I was getting a little discouraged until someone suggested this book. It gives great common sense information along with a variety of recipes. What I was missing was variety. If you're looking into raw food for the first time, this is a great book. Really it's a great book for anyone.

informative and accessable living foods book
i borrowed this book last week. i love it and am purchasing a copy for the house.
not only is LIFE FOOD written in an easily understood language but also does not assume one is unfamiliar with natural living either- i.e.:"dumbed down." regardless whether or not you are a rawist already, vegetarian, or just searching for a healthy change in your dietary practices, this book can provide a fresh {living} viewpoint for any current diet outlook.
a couple of ways LIFE FOOD does this is by combining wholistic information re: vitamins and enzymes we ingest daily in our foods, with simple to make [and yummy] recipes. this book stands aside from many others following on the "fad-diet" train. it is not a high-gloss advert for sexy celeb-style raw-foodists and subsequent promises of said resulting life, but a living testament to one's health and vitality. [no insult to those authors of that type of book... but many do fall short on info and overwhelm with photos.]
kudos to annie and david jubb!

One of the Best On Raw Foods ( donnette23 )
This book, along with the Rainbow Green Live-Food Cuisine book by Cousens, have become my bibles for raw food preparation. The best thing in the book is the smoothie. If you don't use any other recipe in the book, I would recommend you use this one. It has stopped me from craving unnatural foods, which is something I thought could never happen. This alone is worth the price of the book. In my opinion, the Rainbow Green book is better researched and more scientific, but still the Jubbs have done a great job in presenting a picture of why we need to eat raw and how to go about preparing the foods. I have doubts about the constant low temperatures they recommend for drying foods, and some of the recipes are very involved. Rainbow Green and the manufacturer for Excalibur both recommend at least starting with a higher temperature and then finishing with a lower one, and they say enzyme activity in the foods are not lost. I have tried both ways and am better satisfied with the higher temps first, both in texture of the foods and the reduced amount of time needed to prepare it. Still, I wouldn't be without this book. It's a treasure. The Judds are certainly to be commended for all their research and hard work in preparing this book.

 A Wonderfully Educational Book
LifeFood Recipe Book gave a very well rounded and educational breakdown of raw food and its merits, and also of what is wrong with mass-produced food in the US today. Included are many great recipes for meals and snacks that follow this diet.
