Trade Review“A book worth taking a look at, especially if you can’t take the heat in your kitchen anymore.” — Daily News Praise for Kenney and Melngailis, Pure Food and Wine Restaurant “Fashionable cuisine…Pure is more about uplifting discoveries than culinary I-dare-yous… At a place you’d assume might be all about denial, it’s one awfully sweet reward.” — New York magazine “Manhattan’s hot new restaurant…Raw food is going glam at Pure Food and Wine.” — New York Post “Whether or not you’re counting calories, your body will appreciate the innovative, health-driven summer menu at…Pure Food and Wine.” — Time Out New York “Our quartet of gourmands is beguiled by tomato tartare, the spicy Thai lettuce wraps, and a pineapple-cucumber gazpacho…After zebra-tomato lasagne, hummus-slathered flatbread pizza topped with a savory salad, “creamy” golden-squash pasta with summer truffles, and dessert, I cancel plans to stop for a burger on the way home.” — New York magazine “With its burnt-orange walls, low lighting, and intimate bar, Pure Food and Wine is both urbane and seductive. The colorful food is equally stylish—the fact that all of it is prepared according to strict raw-food principles…seems almost beside the point to the diners who fill the narrow restaurant and its verdant garden every night.” — Organic Style “Matthew and Sarma are five-star masters of organic cuisine. I am continually impressed by the taste sensations and culinary skills they bring to their restaurant, and now to the pages of this book! It’s filled to the brim with recipes, ideas, and strategies to make your kitchen jump to life. This is the best food ever!” — David Wolfe, author of Eating for Beauty and Naked Chocolate
