10 cookbooks that make great holiday gifts

 

Sunday, December 2, 2007

 

On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me ... a cookbook?

 

[...and the first book on their list?]

 

For your hippie vegetarian cousin who lives off the energy grid:

" Raw, " by Charlie Trotter and Roxanne Klein (Ten Speed Press, 2007),

$24.95.

 

This lushly photographed cookbook shows you can do more to raw fruits

and vegetables than slice them up. Prominent Chicago chef Trotter and

Klein, a California chef credited with starting a raw-food

revolution, bring out the best natural flavors by juicing,

dehydrating, blending and marinating. Here are colorful raw versions

of lasagna, young coconut pad Thai with almond chili sauce, and even

dehydrated versions of chocolate chip cookies, chocolate cake rolls

and banana chocolate tarts.
