It's a combination no-cook book featuring gourmet recipes using raw and dehydrated vegetables, and a gorgeous, eye-popping, food photography book. The large, glossy book is beautifully designed, with well-arranged recipes, presentation notes, elegant language, and full-page, bigger-than-life photographs of exquisitely arranged food. Each recipe is introduced by an enticing description, e.g., "&#133;the juxtapositions of the crunchy peppercorn pieces and the creamy cheese [made from cashews], the crispy smoked almonds, and the chewy dried apricots, the erotic gooeyness of the honeycomb mounds and the elegant crispiness of the thyme spouts&#133;." This is for special meals, not everyday--the recipes are not quick to prepare, and many include references to other recipes. Authors Charlie Trotter and Roxanne Klein are master chefs at two internationally acclaimed gourmet vegetarian raw-food restaurants--Charlie Trotter's in Chicago and Roxanne's in California. Photographer Tim Turner turns food photography into contemporary art. Wine notes by Jason Smith give the final touch of elegance. Highly recommended for the adventurous, gourmet cook willing to go the next step in vegetarian fine dining and anyone-- cook or not--who appreciates food photography. <I>--Joan Price</I> 1136187 12 2003 Raw total:57|5:16|4:17|3:12|2:9|1:3| 57 205 88 10 4 1 false false Wed Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2003 Tue Jun 05 23:58:12 -0700 2007 Wed Jul 18 23:34:48 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sun Jan 04 09:04:17 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 04 09:27:09 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false true Sat Jan 15 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Sat Aug 23 05:21:19 -0700 2008 Mon Dec 08 19:00:39 -0800 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sat Feb 28 23:21:47 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 28 23:24:40 -0800 2009 1 0 false false Tue Jun 16 12:39:48 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 16 12:41:18 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sun Dec 21 16:57:47 -0800 2008 Sun Dec 21 16:58:10 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Sat Oct 04 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Oct 11 15:11:26 -0700 2008 Sat Oct 11 15:15:10 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Aug 14 09:04:24 -0700 2007 Tue Aug 14 09:08:16 -0700 2007 more...]]> 1 0 false false Sun Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu May 15 19:55:33 -0700 2008 Thu May 07 18:43:53 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Mon May 18 13:02:59 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 30 15:53:01 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Sep 28 18:15:46 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 28 18:23:44 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Sep 28 11:45:50 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 28 11:45:50 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun Aug 30 16:43:19 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 25 13:46:04 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Aug 29 01:44:27 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 29 01:44:30 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Fri Aug 07 14:54:26 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 07 14:54:26 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Wed Aug 12 18:32:48 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 07 06:57:54 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 12 18:32:48 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Aug 05 21:22:38 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 05 21:22:38 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Aug 05 02:20:04 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 05 02:20:04 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Mon Jul 13 12:17:30 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 13 12:17:51 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Jul 08 09:06:15 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 08 09:06:25 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=1148722
