Diet for a Small Planet: The Book That Started a Revolution in the Way Americans Eat

Manufacturer: Book Publishing Company

Karyn Calabrese is Chicago's premier vegan and raw restauranteur and champion for holistic living. Her timeless beauty, youthful physique, and boundless energy are testaments to the lifestyle habits she advocates. Her latest cookbook is divided into two sections: one features popular cooked recipes from her restaurants Karyn's Cooked and Karyn's on Green, and the other focuses on her favorite raw recipes from Karyn's Fresh Corner. Here are two endorsements that speak volumes of the food you can now create in the comfort of home: "To call Karyn Calabrese's food exceedingly healthy is beside the point. It is, but more importantly, everything she touches in the kitchen becomes magically delicious. It's one of the reasons I live fifty feet from one of her restaurants. My wife and I are avid fans, not only of her restaurants but also of Karyn's holistic approach to life. Just look at her-enough said, right? To distill good nutrition and high sensuality into your cuisine is the true definition of culinary artistry. Run-don't wait-to buy this book. Three cheers, Karyn. You are the best." Charlie Trotter, author and chef-owner, Charlie Trotter's. "How I wish I could sit at Karyn's table every day to be nourished sufficiently. I know that eating this way is what provides and prolongs superior health and vitality, but beyond that is the fact that this food tastes so good. Now I can eat like this at home. Thanks Karyn." Angela Bassett, Academy Award nominee and actress

Thirty years ago, Frances Moore Lappé started a revolution in the way Americans think about food and hunger. Now Frances and her daughter, Anna, pick up where Diet for a Small Planet left off. Together they set out on an around-the-world journey to explore the greatest challenges we face in the new millennium. Traveling to Asia, Africa, Latin America, and Europe, they discovered answers to one of the most urgent issues of our time: whether we can transcend the rampant consumerism and capitalism to find the paths that each of us can follow to heal our lives as well as the planet. Featuring nearly seventy recipes from celebrated vegetarian culinary pioneers-including Alice Waters, Mollie Katzen, Laurel Robertson, Nora Pouillon, and Anna Thomas-Hope's Edge highlights true trailblazers engaged in social, environmental, and economic transformations.  Thirty years after Frances Lappe's Diet for a Small Planet changed eating habits around the world, she and her daughter Anna bring us a new round of iconoclastic recommendations that break overwhelming issues down to a simple matter of personal choice. Hope's Edge presents many of the same issues of the original title, but it also provides a wealth of new discoveries and possibilities in this era of genetically engineered foods, worldwide famine, and growing rates of obesity-related health issues. Beyond discussing a wide range of reasons to become a vegetarian (and that means no fish or chicken either, folks), the authors introduce you to a number of individual reasons for hope--Bob, the Wisconsin cheese maker; Jean-Yves, the farmer from Brittany who created the Sustainable Agriculture Network; and Muhammad Yunas, who has changed the lives of countless living in poverty with his remarkable microcredit programs. Along with these stories and the theories they're based on, you'll also find luscious recipes calling for grains, fruits, vegetables, and a handful of dairy products that will delight your taste buds and yo...

Vegan and Raw Recipes, simple and deliciousThis little book contains the recipes that have thrilled Jennifer's friends for years. Regarding her meals and treats, many have said, "If I could eat like this everyday, I'd happily become vegan." Although Jennifer happens to be vegan and enjoy a mostly raw diet, this book is not about how raw or vegan food is better. There is no dogma, just simple delicious recipes and the philosophy that food grown, prepared and shared with love is the most nutritious and healing. A quote from Glenda Green's book Love with End, says it all, "Vegetarian ideals should not be prematurely forced on people who are not ready for them. It is far more important that people awaken in their own hearts and incline in that direction as they look for greater health. In the meantime, you will benefit more by gratitude and appreciation for those who have bestowed the bounties of life on you. For I assure you, it is not by food that you are nourished, but by love." The book includes recipes for: Dips, Spreads, and Sauces, Appetizers, Soups, Salads and Salad Dressings, Main Dishes, Cookies and Crackers and Raw Desserts. The reader is well-prepared for ease and success with an introduction to some potentially new ingredients common to raw and vegan food preparation and a section on essential kitchen supplies. The recipes are easy to follow, simple and surprisingly rich in flavor, texture and heartiness. To learn more about Jennifer visit her on the web at www.YogawithJenniferLynn.com.
