Raw Food Celebrations by Nomi Shannon And Sheryl Duruz

Raw Food Celebrations- Party Menus For Every Occasion! by Nomi Shannon and Sheryl Duruz. Published by Book Publishing Co. I love this book. Just the book I needed in my library for the next time I plan on having the extended family over or for a raw putluck! There is even a traditional menu for the holiday season which I am looking forward to using this Thanksgiving.
I love that the books gives you time saving tips for each menu- what you can do the day before or a couple of days before so you are not running around on the day of your party.
