Book Reviews of Raw In Ten Minutes
Book Review: Misleading title, poor quality...
Summary: 2 Stars
The only "downsides" to me of eating raw are the pre-planning, which I'm adapting to. I quickly discovered that you can't just find an interesting sounding recipe and run with it. I'd thought that since you aren't cooking the food it would be quick and easy. I quickly discovered that you have to get some supplies (and really hunt for some of them), soak nuts and seeds for hours and then maybe dehydrate for hours more. So, initially, the spur of the moment idea was out except for salads, lettuce wraps, and zucchini spaghetti (one of my favorites).
The idea of Raw in Ten Minutes was exciting to me. I figured I could use this book when I was in a hurry and my other un-cook books when I had more prep time.
Right off you'll discover that the book looks like it's a low quality self-published book with low resolution laser printer looking dark B&W photos. There's no index in the back and there really doesn't seem to have been a designer or even editor used in the making of this book -- typos, bad formatting, etc. take away from the recipes.
The title itself is misleading as while you can make the smoothies and some other things in close to 10-minutes -- provided you have the not so easy to find ingredients. The recipes with seeds and nuts require they have been soaked overnight before you use them, like most other raw food un-cook books. So, those will take at least 10-minutes plus 8-hours.

He recommends some places online to buy products which is nice but now add ordering and delivery time to the 10-minutes, too. Also, some recipes require ingredients that are part of other recipes, add that to the 10-minutes. Kills the spur of the moment concept the title suggests.
There's some personal commentary in some recipes that should have been asterisked and put elsewhere. Example, the Carrot Ginger Soup uses red hot chili peppers which sends him down memory lane about his favorite band, Red Hot Chili Peppers, with a shout out to Anthony and Flea -- in the recipe ingredients?!?
While this book is worth having for some of the comfort foods and creative junk food replacements. I wouldn't recommend it as a first raw food book. Maybe a second or third (I have seven so far, so it fits in).[...].
