I'm excited about my newest book Ani's Raw Food Essentials, available everywhere by May 3rd. It's a huge hard cover book with over 250 recipes. It's printed in 2 color, like Ani's Raw Food Kitchen. My goal is to make my books accessible, and get these recipes into your hands so you can enjoy making healthy treats with them. By printing in 2 color instead of full color, the book only costs $27 rather than $45. There's gorgeous color inserts, as you can see from the photos above.
My new book, Ani's Raw Food Essentials, will be available everywhere May 3rd! I was dropped shipped an early copy fresh off the presses, and this is a huge book.

And, it takes 9 months for the book to be designed, printed, and distributed before it shows up in bookstores. A long journey.

A big inspiration to me. Spencer was the weatherman on Good Morning America, and had his own wine show on Food Network. The lovely Janelle Wang.

Pour liquid chocolate into your candy molds. Lastly, drop in either cacao nibs, goji berries, or golden berries, and place your molds in the fridge to set and harden.
