look, i hate that weird hippy place and the people that hang out there, too. but i just can't handle dairy or wheat or sugar or any crappy food anymore. but i still kind of like that stuff. this book has "imitation" versions of a lot of food that isn't all that good for you. and raw versions of stuff that's probably pretty okay for you.
i don't know if raw food is better. i do know that when i eat more fruits and vegetables and more fresh food i feel better.

Cafe Gratitude is a raw food restaurant in San Francisco. This is a compilation of raw recipes to prepare living enzyme-enriched meals at home. (Disclaimer- I have never been to Cafe Gratitude so I am not sure how these recipes compare to the restaurant itself.)
The majority of these recipes require raw-foodie contraptions (like a dehydrator, sturdy food processor, cheese cloth for straining nut milk, a juicer).
It is a neat concept for a restaurant and book. Each dish is...more

I was blown away by the food at Cafe Gratitude when I went to their location in the Mission. As someone who can't tolerate dairy or gluten, I found being able to order off the menu to be an amazing treat, and I felt so great after eating the food, I decided to buy the cookbook. So far, I'm impressed at how simple the recipes are. Of course, this is coming from already needing to make everything I eat from scratch, so perhaps I'm not the best judge of "simple" food prep. We're in the pr...more

This is the cookbook from the San Francisco area restaurants/there are a few locations called Café Gratitude. I've eaten the food at the restaurant and, even though I'm not a raw foods fan, I think almost everything I've tried there has been amazing. Some of these book’s recipes are familiar from the restaurant’s menu, some I don’t recognize. Unlike many raw food cookbooks, the recipes don’t call for a huge number of ingredients but for those inexperienced with raw “cooking” there isn’t a ton of...more

This is a beautiful book, full of inspiring quotes and wonderful recipes, I have tried some of the recipes and they were approved by the gang. Terces story is amazing, and she really teaches you to be grateful for things we take for granted.
so funny that I had to travel 1000s of miles to finally read this slice of home. This cookbook is from Cafe Gratitude, in Northern California, and even though I don't really have cooking capacities in my temporary home in England, it felt so good, so reassuring, so inspiring, to read these recipes.
Love the recipes! If you are dabbling in the idea of raw food this is a great book because the recipes are very good. If you are already a raw foodist great as an addition to an already formed collection of raw food cookbooks. I definitely want to visit the cafe itself.
Nice cookbook on raw cooking. I have tried several recipes so far, mostly successful. Some of the instructions could be a little more clear, but on the whole very good.
Cafe Gratitude is such a magical place. Since I cannot afford to eat there as much as I do, I am grateful that they decided to share their recipes in this beautiful book.
I love the quotes in this book. Some mighty interesting raw food recipe selections too. We recently tried the raw chocolate & hazelnut pie. MMM.
If you have the time to devote to these recipes - they are worth it. YUMMY!
