I got a message from a friend of mine in Ireland asking for some advice about going raw and I thought I would post the answer here and maybe it would help someone else.
In his message he was asking me about what I thought are best things for someone starting out raw.

Equipment you should have in your raw kitchen;
Vita-Mix Blender - you can do anything in this blender from grinding nuts to making soups.
Excalibur Dehydrator – it’s better to start off with one that will grow with you, go for the nine draw now as you will only want it later.
Magimix Food Processor – again this is another work horse of the kitchen that will last you years.
Philips Wide chute Juicer – you can drop big chunks of fruit into this juicer and it gives you 70% more juice than other juicers on the market.
A cheap Coffee grinder – best for grinding linseeds and herbs.
Websites you should book mark;
www.goneraw.com
www.rawfoodtalk.com
www.veganbear.blogspot.com

On line and paper magazines;
I hope this is some help, I’m sure I’ve missed out loads of stuff so I will post more as I think of them.

You're the best!
This is very helpful.
One question though, why do you recommend the 9 draw dehydrator over the five, I mean, obviously you can fit more, but do you find yourself running out of space?
I have no idea what each tray equates to in yields of food?
Also, is the nine draw larger in height only or is the whole appliance larger?
I have limited space.
Thanks x x
I have posted a reply for you.
