“Whenever I have the opportunity to visit Café Gratitude, I am
usually so overwhelmed by the joy and wonder of the dessert menu
that I literally skip my meal and just have one or more of the
delicious raw, organic desserts.”
—David Wolfe, author of The Sunfood Diet Success System, Naked
Chocolate, and Amazing Grace and founder of Sunfood Nutrition
“The recipes in Sweet Gratitude can seem involved at first—they may
entail learning to use unfamiliar ingredients such as Irish Moss (a
sea vegetable) or learning to create your own liquid vanilla—but
once you’ve learned the techniques, the recipes aren’t as complex
as they first seemed and the results are oh so worth it. With
regular desserts, you can expect only sin and guilt from your
indulgence, but with these recipes you get living enzymes, protein,
and healthy fats. I've been blown away by every recipe I’ve
tried.”

“Forget that these are the healthiest desserts you will ever eat.
Matthew and Tiziana have taken their genius and put it into a
collection of the most creative, delicious, purely decadent,
over-the-top-amazing recipes I’ve had the pleasure to eat and
admire!”
—Elaina Love, founder of Pure Joy Planet, executive chef and
co-owner of Café Soulstice
