I really like the book Rawsome! by Brigitte Mars as it not only has recipes and talks about why one should be raw, but provides a lot of information about how to get our nutritional needs met through food.
I believe it's VERY IMPORTANT to figure out how to get proper nutrition. I mean, it's all available in produce, but we need to be sure we're eating all of the right things to get the balanced nutrition we need for our health.
In terms of getting started, make it easy! Start by adding a raw salad or soup to each meal (eat your raw food before any cooked food), and then perhaps start with a smoothie for breakfast.
Once a week or so, try a new raw recipe, and then try to have at least one raw food meal a week. Gradually increase that, and in a couple months, you'll be fully transitioned with a bunch of recipes you like.
And it CAN be really easy - I love my nut pates (for things like falafel and rawvioli, or a small amount on my veggie wraps), but mostly I eat salads (even for breakfast) and have whole fruit for snacks. I use a blender for salad dressings and occasional smoothies, and my food processor for occasional pates and the like, but mostly I just use a knife and cutting board.
