Raw Food Romance - 30 Day Meal Plan - Volume I: 30 Day Meal Plan featuring new recipes by Lissa! (Raw Food Romance Meal Plans and Recipes) Paperback – March 1, 2016

This raw vegan cookbook is the BEST!!! I own many and this one, is way above the rest! The recipes are really YUMMY but the thing I love most is how she gives you a daily shopping list with the prep for each day for future meals. This is what has stumped me on the raw diet in the past. You have to be prepared if your going to make some of the more involved recipes and Lissa has that covered!!!! Now there is no worries! It makes doing the diet simple and worry free. SUCH A GREAT BOOK!!!

I appreciate the details in this book. Lissa explains things in an easy-to-understand way, just like in her YouTube videos. This isn't just a recipe book, it's truly a 30 day plan just like it says, in which you can follow precisely or substitute another similar meal or ingredients. What's needed for each day is clearly stated, as is any prep work for a later meal. I look forward to Volume 2. All the recipes look phenomenal. I can't wait to try them all.

I love this book so much! Lissa's story is so inspirational (check out her channel in YouTube); she lost 70 lbs in a year of eatingthe way she describes in the book, without even trying or depriving herself. The recipes are absolutely delicious and sheshows how one can follow the program without feeling like one is giving up taste. Very worth every penny!

I love Melissa's IG account and YouTube channel. I have been following her for awhile and her posts are very inspiring and the recipes I have tried so far have been good. The only one I have tried that was a fail was the "taco meat"; and I think that one would have been more appropriate for a food processor than a blender.I feel there is some conflicting info in this book though. She stresses eating very low fat and even says at the end that she actually eats lower fat than the recipes contained in the book, however many of the recipes contain nuts or avocados. She says she follows 80-10-10 but only sort of; it's a bit confusing.This plan is impractical for people who don't work from home. My life does not revolve around meal prep. As much as I would love to, I don't have time to soak nuts and sprouts and change sprout water 3 times a day. I'm just simply not home. As another reviewer said, the type is too small and light-colored. Everything is crammed on the page and the steps aren't all together. For example, some of the recipes require soaking things in advance but that is in a small paragraph 2 pages before the main recipe.It's a great book and definitely worth adding to your raw food book library, however I don't think that it's as practical as it could be.

Recipes are great. I appreciate her attention to detail when it comes to using ingredients that give the right flavor making it easy to enjoy raw food. I've tried a couple other Raw food cookbooks it looked good sounded good but when I made it I honestly had no desire to finish eating it. With this book I didn't have a problem like that and felt satisfied. I wish the actual book itself was a little better quality and for some the print is small.

I have no intention of following the plan as presented. However, the book does have some really great recipes. The book is way overpriced at $30. The writing is unpolished, which I find to be the common thread of self-published books. My biggest criticism of this book is the Index. The purpose of a recipe index is to easily find a recipe in the book. It should be alphabetical. It is absolutely useless as presented. The recipes are listed in the order in which they appear in the book, which renders the index unusable. If you stumble on a recipe you really enjoy and want to try it again, good luck finding it without searching through the whole book to find it again.

LOOOOOOOOOVE Melissa!!! Watch her youtube channel all the time for tips and advise on Raw food. Great photos and the book has a good feel to it! FANTASTIC recipes! Melissa knows her stuff! Thank you Melissa!

Everything you need to know for raw food recipes. The book is filled with details and the effort of lissa really shows. Shopping list, nutritional values and meals preps. Loved this book!
