How to make your own cat food?

Ive heard of the raw food diet and seen some results but had just hear of people in my community making their own pet food and how much better their animals feel. After the food scare last year my cat got ill, lucky he ended up being fine, however... he has a hard time with dry foods now and Im really thinking about making his food at home... any one have any references, dietary info or some suggestions on good books to read for this.
