About The Author…301
Endnotes…302
I’ve been traveling around Southeast Asia for a bit under two years now, and I’m about to head back to North America to spend some time visiting family and friends. 
Savory Raw Dressings and Sauces is all about how great truly healthy food can taste without any of the added junk that ruins most salad toppings. Whether you’re looking for an amazing Italian-style sauce to go on top of zucchini noodles, or something sweet and satisfying for your salad, this book has got it. Besides giving you best recipes I’ve created, it also teaches you how to make your own from scratch using ingredients you have on hand or can get at any supermarket. 
If you think that food is the only thing keeping you down, think again. Although raw foods are a major topic in this book, the focus is on lifestyle – those elements outside the stomach which so radically undermine most people’s health.
