• Fresh by the Boutenkos is a great raw recipe book. Enzyme Nutrition by Howell is a good book on the science behind enzymes and raw food. I get obsessed with rsearching raw and finding new recipes too! Don’t worry, you’re not the only one lol!

• be careful when soaking nuts for that long – they can go bad! i don’t know how to prevent them from going bad… if you have a powerful enough blender though, you only need to soak walnuts 4 hours, almonds 12 hours, cashews 1-2 hours.
