Creative Raw Cooking

Raw cooking is a form of eating food full of life and nutrition, which contains exquisite flavors, aromas, and textures in order to delight our five senses, particularly our palate.

With culinary techniques that conserve and maximize the nutrition groups of fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and grains, seaweeds, mushrooms, and spicy and aromatic herbs, Creative Raw Cooking offers a world of possibility in order to enjoy eating while also being health-conscious.

The result is dishes that allow us to enjoy the purity and the nuances of each ingredient. In this book, you will find:

- Lists of basic raw ingredients
- How to organize your kitchen with the necessary tools
- How to press, cut, macerate, grow, ferment, and dry the ingredients
- How to add your own touch to the dishes
- And more than 120 recipes for all tastes: creams and soups, salads, sauces, breads, cheeses, crackers, sweets, shakes, and more

Skyhorse Publishing, along with our Good Books and Arcade imprints, is proud to publish a broad range of cookbooks, including books on juicing, grilling, baking, frying, home brewing and winemaking, slow cookers, and cast iron cooking. We've been successful with books on gluten-free cooking, vegetarian and vegan cooking, paleo, raw foods, and more. Our list includes French cooking, Swedish cooking, Austrian and German cooking, Cajun cooking, as well as books on jerky, canning and preserving, peanut butter, meatballs, oil and vinegar, bone broth, and more. While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.
