out the farmer’s market nearest to you and stock up every week. Onaverage, it costs about the same as the grocery store, but the tastes,colors and textures are incomparable. You cannot make good recipesunlessyoustartwithgoodingredients.

Don’tworryabout followingmyrecipesexactly—gowith the flowandadd your own zesty infusions (figuratively and literally, ’cause lemonzest makes everything better anyway). It’s fun to play around withamounts, spices andmethods and tweak to your personal preferences.Mymottois“dowhatworksforyou.”

Eat as much as you want. I don’t believe in counting calories orrestricting the good stuff in life, so these recipes should be eaten inabundance.Alltheingredientsinthisbookarewhatyourbodywants,sodigin,myhungrybud.

For blenders I recommend either Vitamix or Blendtec—they both kickass.

RAW

Whyeat raw food?Because it’s fun,deliciousand reallygood foryou.

Althoughsomefoodsareactuallymorenutritiouswhentheyarelightlycooked, therearealsomany thatarehealthierwhen left raw(likebellpeppers). This is why I eat both raw and cooked food. It’s not aboutsticking to diet labels; it’s about living in a way that makes you feelhealthyandhappy.
