Review
Scorching summer days are best soothed with cruelty-free sunscreen, ice-cold lemonade, and bites of decadent desserts. Understandably, many bakers shy away from the oven in the summer, opting for fruit-based treats to keep themselves and their homes cool. Raw-food mastermind Jennifer Cornbleet offers another solution with her latest cookbook Raw For Dessert. While fruit dishes earn their keep, plenty of creative, chocolate-filled lovelies just beg to be made. Balance a Summer Fruit Trifle with Chocolate Cupcakes, topped with Chocolate Ganache all without flour, sugar, or flame. Cornbleet s recipes promise sweet-tooth happiness beyond the summer months, and redefine the notion of no-cook treats. --VegNews Magazine - July+August 2010.

From the Author
Hello, I'm Jennifer Cornbleet, and I'd like to invite you to dig in to dessert, without using processed foods or turning on the stove.
Raw food dessert recipes let you take what's already good and good for you - fruits, nuts, and other natural products -- and make them better. Mother Nature does most of the work, but you can take all the credit by simply combining ingredients in a way you may not have thought of before:

Combine cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and ground cloves with raw nuts, fresh and dried fruit, and a whisper of maple syrup for a flavorful spice cake that's gluten-free.
Use nut milk (made by soaking raw in filtered water) to create luxuriantly rich dairy-free ice cream that you can flavor with vanilla, coffee, mint and other natural flavors.
Combine raw almonds, cinnamon, nutmeg, and maple syrup to satisfy your craving for a New Orleans-style praline without butter or brown sugar.
Raw desserts are ideal for anyone who doesn't want to sacrifice good health for good taste. The ingredients aren't processed or heated, so they're loaded with vitamins, enzymes, fiber, and scrumptious natural flavor. Plus there's no trace of tran
