Raw
by Charlie Trotter & Roxanne Klein

From the Author:
"In RAW, Trotter collaborates with Klein to produce a collection of over 100 recipes—the ultimate tribute to the culinary heights that this dynamic cuisine can reach. The chefs exalt the innate wholesomeness and beauty of fruits and vegetables in such innovative, remarkably flavorful dishes. Artfully presented, healthful, and deeply satisfying, raw food is not about austerity, but rather the celebration of food in its glorious natural state. In such skilled hands, it’s nothing short of a revolution in the way we cook and eat."

Out of all the raw books, this must be the most beautiful pictorially.
