This collection is okay, but nothing I haven't seen before in other raw-foods cookbooks. This is not a raw-foods cookbook, but a lot of those paleo-gluten free-raw foods recipes cross-pollenate.

Heavy reliance on nuts here, which puts most of the recipes out of my price range for everyday meals. Plus, I don't know about you, but eating a lot of nuts just doesn't make me feel great. This is a Swedish cookbook, so there are lots of northern hemisphere greens, fruits, and seafood (4/7 recipes are shellfish, FYI if you are allergic like I am) that are unavailable or too expensive south of the equator.

Also, side-eye at the coconut fish which "an indigenous people in India" inspired--what people?

One other thing to think about: a lot of people who are interested in "clean" eating are also interested in sustainable food sources and the size of the carbon footprint involved in obtaining their food. This book does not address this at all. It calls for mangos, avocado, pineapple, and cashews (warm climate) as well as hazelnuts, blueberries, asparagus and king crabs (cold climate). So no matter where you live, half the recipes are calling for ingredients that come from half a world away.

If you are looking to ease into the raw-foods, juicing, weird-soups thing, and you have a huge budget for groceries, I think this book is a pretty good place to start. I wouldn't say this is practical for using on a daily basis, with a large group around the table, or little ones.
