A Thumbs Up Book Review
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 (at) hotmail.com.
