Ambrosia:
Art of Raw Cuisine 
The first of its kind, this elegant new raw-food preparation book
combines inspired recipes with exquisite original drawings.In Ambrosia (White Crosslet Publishing Co., available after August 23, 2006), Marc Anthony Hatsis celebrates the pure, simple beauty of raw food. Pairing recipes with his own meditative, mandala-inspired drawings, Hatsis gives readers the first raw-food preparation and menu book to offer perfectly combined meals for ultimate digestive health. Including such dishes as blueberry pudding, pineapple soup, avocado savoury, and a variety of salads, Ambrosia promotes the healing benefits and increased energy level of a minimalist, highly conscious way of eating. Arranged seasonally and zodiacally, and including a foreword by renowned cardiologist Aleksey Yurenev, this is a book that presents food as nourishment for both body and soul. At a time when food is more processed, manipulated, and potentially harmful than ever before, readers and consumers need to be guided toward better food choices. A dedicated and well informed raw foodist himself, Hatsis offers this guidance. As he explains in his introduction, “Avoiding wrong food choices is essential for well-being. When you embrace raw fruits and vegetables as your exclusive diet, radiant health will appear. A natural diet combined with right thought, speech, and action is the essential way in coming to know yourself.” But Ambrosia is more than just a food preparation book. It is also an artist’s monograph, an artist’s vision, in which the drawings meld perfectly with the subject matter. Just as a raw-food diet creates a feeling of wholeness, Hatsis’s book is a satisfying whole. His mandalas are meticulously rendered sections of fruit—symmetrical and beautifully complete. Ambrosia is a book that will be as at home on the coffee table as it is in the kitchen. Marc Anthony Hatsis is an artist, author, and publisher.
