“Mark Reinfeld ’s The 30-Minute Vegan is not only a culinary delight for vegetarians and vegans, it appeals to people who relish a meal that luxuriates the palate and satisfies the spirit. When I ate his Indian Dahl and desserts at the Blossoming Lotus restaurant, I was immediately transported to India because his recipes are so true to their origins.”
Michael Bernard Beckwith, author of Spiritual Liberation: Fulfilling Your Soul’s Potential
“I heartily recommend Vegan Fusion World Cuisine for anyone seeking a healthier, inspired and more peaceful life.”
“I wish The Blossoming Lotus great success. They make the most wonderful food with the greatest of heart and their cookbook is a beautiful gift for all of us interested in healthy living.”
“There is much here that will encourage you and help you discover the sense of well being, wholeness and lightness that results from a vegetarian diet.”
“I’ve had the pleasure of eating at many of the finest vegan and vegetarian restaurants. The Blossoming Lotus, in Kapaa, Kauai, is among my very favorites. The food is superb, the ambiance is relaxing, and the overall dining experience is marvelous.”
John Robbins, author Diet For A New America, The Food Revolution, and Healthy At 100
“I love this book! Now we know that raw foods are able to take complete idiots and turn them into total geniuses! Great recipes! Wow!”
David Wolfe, author of The Sunfood Diet Success System and Eating For Beauty, founder of www.sunfood.com, www.thebestdayever.com, and the non-profit www.ftpf.org
“The Complete Idiots Guide to Eating Raw is ideal for anyone looking to seamlessly adopt eating habits that will benefit overall health and boost athletic performance.”
Brendan Brazier, pro Ironman triathlete and best-selling author of The Thrive Diet
“Magnificent recipes for a life-giving, soul-centered cuisine. Read this book, but more importantly, use what’s in it. Apply it!”
“The cookbook from the Blossoming Lotus is the greatest. I felt healthier just reading it. And the kava brownies were a home run with me.”
Peter Falk, Emmy Award-winning actor
“Awesome! I highly recommend The Complete Idiots Guide to Eating Raw for anyone interested in learning about raw foods and incorporating them into their life. It’s something even a kitchen prep novice like me can get into and actually use! The recipes are out of this world and easy to prepare. This is a go to book for beginners and experienced raw foodists alike.”
Kevin Gianni, co-host of The Renegade Health Show, RenegadeHealth.com
“The main thing I love about eating raw is that it is SO simple. Yet many people make it complex in their heads. The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Eating Raw helps bring it all back to basics, ‘idiot-proofing’ what might otherwise be a bumpy transition into a life more rawsome. A great book to share with those you care about.”
“The cookbook from the Blossoming Lotus is my choice for a fabulous and healthy Holiday Gift.”
Dr. Elliot Katz, founder, In Defense of Animals
“The food from Blossoming Lotus was delicious. The corn bread and Veggie Kabobs disappeared as soon as they hit the table. Their cookbook would make a worthy addition to any kitchen’s top shelf.”

Veggie Firemen
In a recent edition of World Fusion Weekly, we posted an article about the Vegetarian Firemen of engine2. We sent them a copy of our cookbook and they sent us the following reply:
“We received the absolutely amazing, Vegan Fusion World Cuisine cookbook recently and are totally blown away by the array of bountiful and delicious vegan options that are now as close as a fingertip and turn of a page away.
We really appreciate the gift and will use it often and with each meal we will think of ya’ll affectionately. I (Rip) go to Maui every year to compete in the Xterra world championships and would love to visit the restaurant and then hike the Napali coastline. Stay healthy and safe and Happy trails.”
