Hey everyone! HAPPY FRIDAY!
I’ve got a seriously amazing giveaway to kick off the weekend….
Remember this cookbook that I got (and have been experimenting with a little this week)??
I talked to Sarma, founder of One Lucky Duck and co-founder Pure Food and Wine, and she has graciously offered a Fitnessista reader a signed copy of her new cookbook!!!
This cookbook is outta control amazing. The recipes are easy to follow, don’t require a ton of obscure ingredients or fancy schmancy equipment and demonstrate that raw food doesn’t have to be complicated to be beautiful and delicious. It also includes a boatload of information on nutrition and the raw lifestyle, yet reads like an email from a good friend. I read the book in it’s entirety within 2 days.
It’s also a feast for the eyes with stunning photos…
Recipes for juices….
Salads, soups, snacks and impressive entrees….
Cocktails and desserts….
Are ya sold yet??? 😀
Here’s how you can get 2 chances to win this beautiful cookbook:
- Leave a comment stating why you’d like to win this cookbook and/or what you’d like to make first if you win
- Link back to this post on your blog and send me an email (fitnessista at gmail dot com) with the link to your post. If you don’t have a blog, no worries, just send me an email and I’ll get your extra entry in
I’ll post the winner at 8am EST on Monday, July 13th

Hey!
I would LOVE to win this book because I've gone High raw in the last 2 months and am feeling VERY adrift: I don't know any fellow vegans, let alone raw foodists and am trying to figure out this diet for myself while representing it to others. I am a recent university graduate with limited funds and a desperate thirst for resources and assistance!

It would be fabulous to win this cookbook as I have been experimenting a lot with raw recipes this last week and am really loving it. It would be absolutely amazing to have a Raw cookbook that includes some raw supper recipes that my husband would eat and enjoy!
I would love to win this book! I would have to try the pumkpin pie in a bowl recipe first!
Thanks Gina!
I would love to win this cookbook because I don't have any other raw cookbooks and I'm just getting into the lifestyle! and I would make a wonderful raw meal to show my friends and family how delicious raw food is.
I'd love to win this cookbook because I'm trying to incorporate more raw foods into my diet, but it's hard to find new and exciting ways to liven up my meals! I'd really love to get my fiancé to try out this lifestyle, too– so I need all the help I can get! 🙂
I would love to win this cookbook and make some of the dessert recipes! Thanks for the lovely giveaway 🙂

Just discovered your blog a month ago and LOVE it..thanks for the inspiration Gina!

Hi Gena- I'm fairly new to your blog but I would love to win this book because I've been a vegan for about 2 years now and I'm trying to transition into a raw-based diet. The thing is, I'm not ready & don't have the cash to splurge on a dehydrator and the like so this cookbook would be so helpful for getting me started. Right now is also the perfect time for me to go raw because local farmer's markets are in full swing and there's so much delicious produce! I have a sweet tooth too, so I'd love to try some of the desserts from the book!
Thank you!
I would love to have access to Samara's book! I struggle with balanced eating (your post about eating enough to maintain your metabolism really spoke to me), and am looking for new things to eat instead of my unembellished menu. I eat healthy, but boring because I'm working on finding healthy ways to eat delicious things! I don't know anyone else meatless, so it'd be awesome to have a resource of recipes to make (instead of eating each ingredient separately because that's the only way I know how!).
I would love to try some of the dessert recipes first because I have not had a cookie to eat in over a year! Since I've struggled with eating, I am always too anxious to eat whatever is available. I'd love to put healthy things together, knowing that there is nothing processed/unnatural, and then enjoy a special treat!
Also, I'd love to try some lentil/bean recipes. I don't know where to begin with those ingredients, but know they can be great staples!
Thanks!

Hi there and Happy raw summer! I would absolutely love to dive into this cookbook and start with the delicious looking layered dessert. I started raw with Sarma's orgininal cookbook~took a 2year hiatus from raw and am now back at high raw forever! I had to dust off the original of course. =)
I'd love this book b/c I've heard it un-complicates raw "un"cooking. I'd like to try some tasty main dishes to expand my horizons beyong salads.

I would love to win this cookbook for more inspiration for raw meals. Since going more raw I have had an easier time managing my food allergies and better pain management.

Thanks for the giveaway!
