With the publication of The Raw Food Detox Diet, Natalia Rose helped pioneer the practice of detox dieting. Her principles for cleansing and revitalizing the body with living foods and proper food combinations caught the attention of Doris Choi, personal chef and caterer to New York's cognoscenti-and inspired a whole new culinary approach. Rose and Choi teamed up to create a detox culinary institute and food delivery service for clients nationwide. Now, with The Fresh Energy Cookbook, they unveil nearly two hundred of Chef Doris's most coveted recipes, drawing from a range of ethnic flavors, and ideal for dieters and home cooks of all stripes. Lovingly compiled and gorgeously photographed, it covers essential kitchenware, prep skills, pantry items, and recipes for everything from juices and smoothies to warm savory salads, satisfying entrees, and guiltless desserts-all delicious and stunningly simple to prepare. In addition to the many delightful vegan and raw recipes are dozens of mouthwatering dishes featuring savory cheeses, fresh fish, and gently cooked starches and vegetables. Contrary to popular opinion, true detoxing is not about sipping lemon water and starving oneself for weeks at a time; it's about enjoying clean, living foods as nature intended us to, every day.
