Spotlight Raw Chefs: Ani Phyo.
Ani's book, Ani's Raw Kitchen, contains my best "go to" recipes. And all of her recipes that I've tried have been winners. And they're inspirational. Because they make so much sense, easily filling the void left from not cooking, I can quickly see how I can go from her basic recipe and create something related. From her burger recipe, I can easily make gyros. From her bread recipe, I can easily make tortillas...
And, of course, there's her fresh mango cobbler recipe. It's phenomenal. When I was making it for my photoshoot my photographer was floored by how like "real" crust the processed pecans, dates, salt and vanilla tasted. And I can easily see now how to make other cobblers, all I need is some fruit that has a little give, then it's all about the syrup and the crust. Just that easily, I am confident that I can turn just about any fruit into a cobbler. That's what an awesome recipe can do. Launch your creativity.
I've also heard people raving about her other books, in particula, the weightloss book, and her book on asian food raw. If they are as full of user-friendly recipes Ani's Raw Kitchen, then they deserve to be jewels in your crown. They're going to be in my library soon.
