Since a raw food diet requires that nothing be prepared at a temperature higher than approximately 46 °C (115 °F), the only way you can prepare certain raw vegan recipes is with special kitchen appliances. Depending what recipe you are following, you may need a food dehydrator, a food processor, a good blender, a juicer, and/or a spiral slicer to achieve some of the 'special effects' that make many raw food recipes possible.
Some of the most popular raw vegetable creations that can be made with these kitchen appliances are vegetable 'pasta' noodles, crackers and crusts, puddings, and sauces. Following a complex raw food recipe may require putting food through multiple processes in order to create a texture that mimics cooked food. However, the rewards can be considered well worth it, allowing raw foodists today to enjoy a vastly greater number of interesting and satisfying meals than raw enthusiasts from times past. Such a restrictive diet could easily get boring for some people without the modern innovations that come from advanced kitchen appliances.
There are many raw vegans who do not prepare complex recipes but still enjoy their raw food diet. Fresh vegetables, sprouts, soaked nuts and seeds can be eaten alone or mixed the old fashioned way to create salads, vegetable wraps, and even nut butters, juices, and sauces (with at least a blender or food processor) that do not require any advanced appliances to prepare.
Whether or not, or how often you eat raw foods that mimic cooked foods is really a matter of taste and lifestyle. Some raw enthusiasts believe that mimicking cooked foods somehow takes away from the purpose of a living food lifestyle, while many do not believe there are any ethical issues so long as the food is not destroyed with high temperatures. Whatever your preference, there are many raw food recipes available online that accommodate raw vegans from the simple to the highly refined.
