Raw food restaurants and markets throughout California

Our February-March 2010 issue tells you where to learn how to prepare raw and living foods at home, but sometimes it’s nice to let someone else present us with a delicious meal. Also, although raw food is getting much more recognition, it’s still not always easy to find when on the road. The listings below include likely markets and raw food restaurants throughout California. If you have suggestions to add, please let us know!
