In her most accessible book yet, Victoria Boutenko brings the benefits of greens to everybody–not just those willing to commit to a 100% raw FOOD lifestyle. The information she shares in Green for Life will improve the diet and nutrient assimlation for the heaviest meat eater, to the occasional vegetarian, to the 100% raw FOODer.
Green smoothies make “objectionable” FOODs like heads of kale, lambquarters, or carrot tops completely palatable. Through the magic of blending fruits like watermelon or bananas with greens, they become tasty liquid treats that help everything from insufficient stomach HCL to arthritis.

The first thing you will notice about this book is that it is stunningly lush and beautiful. From the cover photo of Evie looking so faeriesque, to the family photos to all the gorgeous recipes: Evie's Kitchen offers a feast for the eyes!
You might also notice early on that this is a book of love. Shazzie, the UK's most famous raw FOODist, wrote this book with a mother's love for her daughter. She researched the content for four years with the passion that only a mother would feel about this particular topic. Painstakingly recording her daughter's FOOD intake, staying on top of the lastest finds in the world of raw and vegan FOODs, researching supplements, and finding answers when people told her she had no reason to search for answers: Shazzie goes beyond a typical nutritionist giving stats.

Like most people I'm often asked what my favourite book is and it's a question I never hesitate to answer. Longitude by Dava Sobel may not be the answer people expect to hear and, often, they are somewhat perplexed by my answer. I soon persuade them to give it a try and, while not everyone agrees it's the best book ever, I've yet to hear a negative appraisal?
This is the story of Yorkshire carpenter, John Harrison, and his quest to claim the prize of 20,000 offered by Parliament in 1714 for solving the longitude problem.
