Customer Reviews

A wonderful book on raising a raw,vegan child
This book is divided into two sections. The first is an interesting account of Shazzie's experiences of pregnancy, birth and raising her child, interspersed with honest and frank views on relationship complexities and many other issues that modern parents face when raising a child. I found Shazzie's approach to parenting so refreshing as many parenting books just give the same advice over and over again, but Shazzie's views are fresh and exciting.

The second is all the gorgeous recipes that you would expect of Shazzie. Some are simple to make, others require an investment in two key bits of equipment - a high-powered blender and a dehydrator. Many recipes are really simple and require no extra gadgetry, so are suitable for anyone looking to start introducing raw foods into their child's diet.

Some good recipes, shame about the tone.
I have read other work by Shazzie and whilst I don't agree with everything she writes I have found her a warm and welcoming read.

I am disappointed about her tone in the first part of this book. She comes across as arrogant and patronizing quite frequently. She seems quite incredulous that anyone should hold different views to her. Overall it is very off-putting. In this regard I think Shazzie has fallen into the same dictatorial trap as many authors in the childcare genre.

I would take care and read other viewpoints and research before taking her advice.
