The dishes in Raw are prepared using basic techniques such as juicing, dehydrating and blending, raw foods exalt the innate wholesomeness and splendor of fruits and vegetables. Charlie Trotter's raw-food tasting menus at his Chicago restaurant have showcased raw food at the highest level, while Roxanne Klein's eponymous restaurant in Larkspur, California, has become a fine-dining destination, earning her recognition as the leading chef of the living food philosophy.

Experience the revelation of this dynamic cuisine in Raw, a landmark volume that pairs visionary chefs Trotter and Klein. The authors pay the ultimate tribute to the culinary heights that raw and living foods can scale in such dishes as Brocoflower Couscous with Curry Oil; Three Peppercorn-Crusted Cashew Cheese with Honeycomb and Balsamic Vinegar; Bleeding Heart Radish Ravioli with Yellow Tomato Sauces and Watermelon Soup with Sharlyn Melon Granite. Each recipe is complemented by a detailed wine pairing, conceived to heighten the tastes, textures and aromas of the ensemble. Juices, a natural extension of the raw-food repertoire, are also featured in such soothing preparations as the Red Roxie, Prickly Pear and Pomegranate, and Cucumber-Lime Water.
