🥗 The Recipe Books
Kate's recipe books range from accessible beginner guides to genuinely ambitious raw cuisine. Here is how they stack up.
🌿 Eat Smart Eat Raw
Published in 2002, Eat Smart Eat Raw was the first raw food recipe book ever published in the UK and remains one of the most loved introductions to the raw food lifestyle. No dehydrator required, no obscure ingredients, just simple, quick recipes using things you can find in any supermarket. Kate wrote this while raising three children under seven, which tells you everything about how practical it is.
