RAW is the first major guide to preparing gourmet raw cuisine, an introduction to the finest dining this planet has to offer, with unique dishes made entirely from vegetarian and living foods. RAW offers ultimate pure flavor, thousands of textures, and beautiful effects on body, mind, soul and the environment! This isn't 100 variations of salad, but an ultra-gourmet cuisine, which fuses ancient culinary techniques with a modern and practical lifestyle. From sun-baked pizzas, satisfying sandwiches, vegan sushi, the best burritos and sprouted-rice dishes, to sangria and shakes, cookies, pudding, and pies. You're about to acquaint yourself with the vibrant flavors and miraculous nutrition of plant life in a way you never have before. Printed on high quality paper with exquisite photos.

 Juliano moved to San Francisco when he was 24 and opened his first Raw restaurant (now called Organica) which was quickly hailed by the San Francisco Chronicle for serving the most "innovative cooking" in this culinary conscious town. This is his first UNcook Book.

"Why Raw? Not because it guarantees me optimum health like the other 80 million species who eat only raw. Not because it's the last word in nutrition. Not for saving time or money, not for the endless energy it provides me, and not because it helps the planet because instead of discarding packaging, which creates trash, I discard seeds, which gives life. No, not any of these reasons. So why raw? Taste and Pleasure and only Taste and Pleasure.

All my raw recipes taste better than their cooked, dead counterparts. This allows all the delicat nutrients that are usually burned out of cooked foods to remain intact."

"Juliano is the toast of Hollywood, somewhere between a chef and a guru. The food is spectacular, lush, colorful and tactile. He's more than a chef, he's an inspiration." - Spin
