Whether
you believe in a raw food diet or not, I think we can all agree that
we need to bring more raw food into our everyday meals. Since most of
the time, the nutrients are destroyed from high-temperature cooking,
adding more raw food to your diet can be more nourishing and, yes,
lively. Cook Lively: 100 Quick and Easy Plant-Based Recipes for High Energy, Glowing Skin, and Vibant Living Using 10 ingredients or Less by Laura-Jane Koers (the creator behind the popular Canadian
vegan food blog, The Rawtarian) is a great introduction to
raw, plant-based food and is the perfect book for anyone interested
in eating better and learning healthier ways to cook your food.
