Reviews - Raw Magic - Recipes For The Revolution

Raw Magic is positively crammed full of mouth-watering recipes, each one illustrated with a stunning photograph that will have you literally drooling over the pages. As well as containing over 160 recipes such as Rocket Fuel Soup, The Orange Orgasm and Blissberry Tart, Raw Magic explains the power of superfoods, such as raw cacao, goji berries, algae and maca. It also aims to teach readers how to have a magic day every day through a fulfilling and healthy lifestyle.

Miss Magic explains in the book: “Although most people have heard of superfoods, there is some confusion over what the term actually means. I would classify them as natural plant foods which have two primary qualities: firstly, they are exceptionally high in nutrition and thereby provide the body with increased energy, and secondly, they have special intrinsic properties which can enhance our lives greatly. In my book, broccoli and blueberries are not superfoods! They may be very healthy food choices, but they don’t have the super-charged density and vitality of true superfoods. True superfoods really can transform you into a super-being!"

The author, Kate Magic Wood, has been a raw foodist for almost fifteen years and has previously written the hugely popular raw titles Eat Smart, Eat Raw and Raw Living. She also runs an online raw food store, www.rawliving.eu selling her very own revolutionary raw chocolate cakes, bars, superfoods and a wide variety of ingredients to make the recipes in the book. Shazzie, Rawcreation Ltd’s Managing Director, says "I have known Kate for many years and am ecstatic to be publishing the world's first true superfood recipe book. I have been privileged enough to taste many of these fantastic recipes already and so I know Raw Magic is going to be a best-seller!”

So what do I think of this book? I think everyone needs to get their own copy and start experimenting in their kitchens right now! I have already tried some of Kate's recipes for teas, fudges and cakes - I wasn't disappointed and neither will you be! You may need to go a bit further than your local supermarket to get some of the ingredients - I know for sure that not even Waitrose stock organic maca powder but times are a 'changing so it won't be long before the food that Raw Magic hails as the superfood gods will be adorning our high streets and locals. As author Kate points out - where would you have found goji berries two years ago? Most people hadn't even heard of them until Madonna hit the headlines stating that they were now an integral part of her diet. You can now buy goji berries in ALL stores so it just goes to show that if people want it it, they will get it.

However, all of these foods are but a click away. You can order most online and the best place I have found to sell high quality and organic ingredients to make many of the recipes in this book is www.detoxyourworld.com

What I love most about this book is when you flick through the pages, you can feel your senses coming alive as they long to reach out and taste one of Kate's creations, which is one of the reasons I reckon she named it Raw Magic!
