Trade Review"Kenney has provided a window into celebrity chefs, the costs, the competition, and the struggles to stay true to their own lives."
—The San Francisco Book Review PRAISE FOR MATTHEW KENNEY:
“Everyone thought the raw diet was a fad soon to pass, but it’s alive and well. [Kenney] is a virtuoso when it comes to raw and living cuisine.”
- Huffington Post
“Los Angeles has never lacked vegetarian options, and I’ve eaten at most of the usual suspects. I typically go once and never return. M.A.K.E. is different. Kenney’s food is a revelation.”
- Brad A. Johnson, LA Register
“Kenney is the real thing.”
- Johnathan Gold, LA Times
“Kenney has created a movement that aims to be as inclusive, accessible, and educational as possible.”
