Ani Phyo is one of the leaders in the raw/living food movement. Her first two books Ani’s Raw Food Kitchen and Ani’s Raw Food Desserts are a big hit among those interesting in healthy eating. Whether you are raw, vegan, or omnivore, you will really enjoy Ani’s Raw Food Essentials. This new book gets back to basics and shows you the techniques needed to make fast and gourmet raw foods like soups, salads, pizza, pasta, and desserts. It’s mouth-watering goodness on every page, and it’s free of meat, dairy, and refined products.

I sat down with Ani last month at her first uncooking demo and book signing to see what her philosophy is about food and what her favorite recipes are from her new book. Jump over to my blog for that interview and to enter the Giveaway. One lucky reader will win Ani’s Raw Food Essentials! What are you waiting for?!

Here’s footage from Ani’s recent visit to the View From The Bay show in San Francisco. Watch this and I’m sure your mouth will water like mine did. Ani is a beautiful example of how eating well can elevate your health, leave you feeling and looking radiant, and also lessen your impact on the planet.
