This outstanding and beautifully illustrated cookbook will be treasured by many for years to come! Along with a wide selection of innovative and ethnic recipes, both raw food and cooked, author Cherie offers a series of "angel" meditations. She introduces the philosophy behind the eating of "angel foods," answering many common questions about the sprouted, fermented, fresh and raw ingredients that she advocates for optimum health.

Each page offers a recipe, plus helpful notes to the cook and a one-line prayer to the Guardian Angel. Each section is begun with a relevant "talk with spirit," addressing the issues one must face when transitioning from a more mainstream diet to this one. Clear and comprehensive instructions on sprouting are also included, plus a list of helpful kitchen equipment, and definitions of uncommon ingredients such as agar-agar. Cherie's Index is truly useful, listing both types of foods and ethnic groupings. Rich and varied recipes from more than 25 different countries and ethnic groups grace an abundance of the 230 pages of this inspiring and extraordinary cookbook.
