Abrams, E: Don't Cook the Planet

Choosing meals prepared with fresh, natural ingredients isn't just healthy, it's good for the earth. In "Don't Cook the Planet," author Emily Abrams and an all-star collection of chefs and ecoactivists share more than 70 delicious recipes as well as tips on how to minimize your carbon footprint. Each contributor--including Stephanie Izard, "Top Chef" star and executive chef at Girl & the Goat; Chevy Chase; "MasterChef" judge and acclaimed chef Graham Elliot; actor Joshua Henderson; and many others--provides easy, everyday ideas that will save you money and stock your kitchen with fresh, delicious foods while preserving the planet for generations to come. The author, an 18-year-old activist, approaches sustainability from a personal perspective, striving to make changes that will impact her generation, and in so doing, has created a cookbook that explains how positive food choices significantly impact one's environment as well as one's health.
