Raw by Roxanne Klein and Charlie Trotter
The Raw food movement has arrived in the culinary mainstream, with
top chefs like Charlie Trotter and Thomas Keller espousing the wonders
of "living food".
Prepared with basic techniques such as juicing, dehydrating and slicing,
raw food has all of its nutritional value intact because it is not subject
to the enzyme-rupturing process that intense heat induces.
With 100 innovative recipes there are remarkably flavourful dishes such
as "Heirloom Tomato Soup with Alberquina Olives and Shaved Fennel"
and Dried Apricots and Polenta with Wild Mushroom Ragout".
"Eating raw is not an alternative cuisine," Klein explains.
"It's just a way to explore new intensities of flavor."
Indeed, this intensity is apparent upon entering the restaurant, which
smells like a wonderfully fertile summer garden. Roxanne's was not designed
as a vegetarian haven, but rather as a temple for new gastronomy -- one
that dares to be truly different.
