Although you might want to eat 100% raw food, there is no pressure to do so and in my opinion it is not essential. Even the raw food guru Gabriel Cousens suggests recipes in his books which include some cooked foods. There are some raw food fans who eat 100% raw and others who like to include some cooked foods, but are still fully committed to the benefits of raw food. Many of the problems with common cooked foods are how processed they are and the inclusion of ingredients such as unhealthy fats, processed dairy, wheat, sugar and processed soya in the food. Even a cooked vegetarian or vegan diet can often contain many of these unhealthy foods.

Our raw and nearly raw recipes will help you prepare living food, making eating raw easy. Most recipes are linked to our online shop so you can buy all of the ingredients we stock for a recipe in one click, with the remaining ingredients being readily available in local shops. Many of our recipes are 100% raw with the rest being at least 51% raw and eaten with a large salad can help you transition to a high raw diet. Some require specialist kitchen equipment such as a dehydrator, high powered blender or food processor. You can read more about kitchen equipment on our raw food preparation page.
