Review by M. Gamez for Kristen Suzanne's ULTIMATE Raw Vegan Chocolate Recipes: Fast & Easy, Sweet & Savory Raw Chocolate Recipes Using Raw Chocolate Powder, Raw Cacao Nibs, and Raw Cacao Butter Rating: I was not terribly impressed with this book, but I bought it for two reasons (1- see what Kristin Suzanne's books were like, and 2-see if she had good easy chocolate recipes)
I now have an idea of what her books are like: The editing and layout are haphazard, but then many self-published works are. I was disappointed with the recipes, but happy to learn about chocolate-making ingredients.
This is not the worst book I have ever seen, and it does have a pretty glossy 4-color cover.

Review by Debra A. Garner for Kristen Suzanne's ULTIMATE Raw Vegan Chocolate Recipes: Fast & Easy, Sweet & Savory Raw Chocolate Recipes Using Raw Chocolate Powder, Raw Cacao Nibs, and Raw Cacao Butter Rating: I was so excited to be able to get this book. I love her blog.
So let me tell you about this book. I loved it. I can't wait to get my order of raw cacao powder and nibs so I can try some of these recipes. I am thinking I will be trying some with raw carob powder- just to get me by until my order gets here.
The book has 5 chapters. The first chapter is titled Raw Basics. It covers as it says the basics but also a list of equipment needed (or enjoyed as a raw foodie), ingredient descriptions, basic recipes for nut/seed milks and raw condiments. My favorite part of this chapter is her tips. I learned a lot. My favorite tip is for doubling recipes. I double, sometimes quadruple a recipe for my large family so this was good info.
The second chapter covers Raw Chocolate. You get a brief history of chocolate and learn why it is good for you. She also covers the different raw chocolate products available and other special ingredients. Chapter three covers chocolate drinks. I can't wait to try the Creamy chocolate vanilla milk , and the Chocolate holiday spice nog.
In chapter four she covers snacks, soup, salad dressing, crackers and breakfasts. A lot of great recipes to choose from. Several popped off the page at me: Chocolate powered oatmeal, Power packed trail mix, Chocolate chia crackers, Mesquite spiced chocolate brazil nut crumble and Chia chocolate pudding snack to name a few..
In the final chapter she covers desserts. Yum! How about Goddess cream cake , Chocolate pumpkin pie, Pure rush chocolate and Fun chocolate banana plant leather. It is hard to choose just one recipe that I can't wait to try.
I learned a lot about raw chocolate. Like how it is loaded with antioxidants. I also learned that pure chocolate has heart health benefits. "The flavonoids (organic compounds) found in cacao can help prevent clogged arteries and lower blood pressure."
If you love chocolate like we do and are looking for healthy vegan recipes this book will deliver! Yes it is a raw book but I believe that even if you are not a raw foodie you can benefit from getting more raw food into your diet. Besides doesn't it make you feel less guilty eating chocolate when you know it is good for you? You will not be disappointed with this book.

Review by H. R. Burton for Kristen Suzanne's ULTIMATE Raw Vegan Chocolate Recipes: Fast & Easy, Sweet & Savory Raw Chocolate Recipes Using Raw Chocolate Powder, Raw Cacao Nibs, and Raw Cacao Butter Rating: I've really enjoy all the books I've gotten from Kristen, and this one is no exception! I love the fact that I can enjoy raw desserts and chocolate and not feel guilty! Instead I feel happy about the nutritious and delicious treats. As usual, Kristen comes up with great and unusual flavor combinations - i.e. pumpkin and chocolate. Chocolate Pumpkin Pie was the first recipe I tried and it was fabulous! The Chia Chocolate Pudding Snack is one of my new favorites, too. I really like that this book isn't all desserts, but there's smoothies, milks, snacks, crackers, breakfast goodies, and more. Who knew chocolate was so versatile?! I love the recipes in this book and definitely recommend it for anyone who loves chocolate!

There are even savory recipes with chocolate in them. This woman loves her chocolate! The recipes are easy to follow and have lots of tips about food prep. Raw food is fun to make and easy when you have great books like this.
