Rawfully Good: Living Flavours of Southeast Asia

Based in Bali, Diana von Cranach has always been a well-known local food explorer and creator of the most incredible food. A few years ago, she took her dedication to good food a step further and decided to begin a journey into the world of raw food using only locally sourced ingredients.
Her idyllic and very personal resort Puri Ganesha Villas in North Bali, is one of only a few hotels worldwide to offer an alternative, purely ‘living’ food menu to the surprise and delight of her guests. The idea behind this book rose from the Diana’s desire to work with chefs at famous restaurants and resorts throughout Southeast Asia, to prepare healthier and lighter vegan food using their own recipes as a basis. At the same time, she hoped to revive the use of more unusual traditional herbs and ingredients, used for generations. Covering destinations stretching from Bali in Indonesia, Langkawi in Malaysia, Nha Trang in Vietnam, Siem Reap in Cambodia, Luang Prabang in Laos, Chiang Mai and Loei Province in Thailand and the cities of Bangkok, Singapore and Yangon the result is a book full of well-known regional recipes with excitingly different and invigorating ‘living’ flavours. 400 colour illustrations
