Entertaining in the Raw

Chef and entrepreneur Matthew Kenney has built himself something of a raw food empire. With over a dozen plant-based eateries spanning from his native New York to Maine to Florida and now in Spain and Turkey, Kenney’s philosophy of “sustainable cuisine” is influenced by international flavours no matter where he cooks. Entertaining in the Raw hints of Asian, French, Indian, and Latin traditions, but focuses on the principles of shopping for fresh fruits and vegetables that are in season and come from local producers. With plenty of room to improvise for your locale, simple instructions, and vivid photos, Entertaining is a raw food book for all types of eaters.  The philosophy here is one of enjoying fresh and living foods for their flavours and colours rather than adhering to a strict raw food diet for health reasons. This book features party plates —tapas style appetizers, small desserts, sauces, salads, and drinks far from the ordinary cheese and olive plate. If you’re looking to dabble in the raw, expand your repetoire, or serve up something unique at your next party, Entertaining is an inspiring and well-designed source.

Available at fine bookstores around BC.
