In the past year I suddenly acquired a number of accute food sensitivities, so when I saw this offering, I was pleased to give it a reading.  The description mentioned these were gluten free. Since I seem to have to consist on a diet as close to fat free, nut free, bean free,soy free, meat free, dairy free,caffeine free, alcohol free,  egg free and oatmeal free, I thought I'd check this out.  You can imagine my diet is rather boring. I read every recipe.  Not one would I dare to try.But my real reason for giving it such a low rating is, I've lived eating as much raw food as I could for most of my adult life, or at least the last 30 years. If I were not a fan of healthy eating/local grown/fresh/organic, etc., this book would not make me a convert.  The pictures of the desserts are creepy: greeny browny stuff, every recipe calling for major doses of nuts and other fats and dates (which I can't tolerate either, unfortunately).  And using avacado and stevia as a fat in ice cream (emphasis on ice, by the look of the pictures)?!  It's an insult to the avacado! I'll stick with eating my raw foods as close as they come from the raw state, thanks.
