Author, Sustainable Chef, Culinary Educator
"I’ve traveled the world many times over, learning firsthand how the happiest and healthiest communities know exactly where their food comes from and how it was grown—only to return to a “modern” world where a team of chemists is needed to understand what’s really on my plate. After Cathy Katin-Grazzini used good, fresh food to help save the life of someone she loves, she now shares the kind of recipes that can help heal the planet through the power of regenerative farming and smarter food chains. I’m grateful for her delicious wisdom and all these ways to turn anxiety into action, one meal at a time."
— Bill Weir, CNN Anchor and Chief Climate Correspondent
"Cathy, thanks for all you are doing to help spread the word about dietary sanity. Please keep sharing the life-saving message about plant-based nutrition."
— Michael Greger, M.D., founder of NutritionFacts.org, How Not to Die: Discover the Foods Scientifically Proven to Prevent and Reverse Disease (2015), with Gene Stone.
 People everywhere, increasingly, are adding plants to their plates. What's the excitement all about?
Â
Turning to plants and away from animal and highly processed foods can address today's most pressing, pernicious problems: From climate change to the mass extinction of species to our epidemics in chronic and infectious diseases, shifting our eating towards plants holds a very powerful key: It can drastically lower greenhouse gas emissions in the food system and protect ecosystems. It can vanquish chronic inflammation and oxidative stress, key precursors to chronic disease, as it fortifies a healthy gut microbiome.Â
From climate change, to the mass die-off of species, to our epidemics of both chronic and infectious diseases, cooking with plants plays a pivotal role.
"As both a foodie and a climate advocate, Love the Foods that Loves the Planet honestly had me at the delectable cover. But the contents are every bit as delicious. Supplemented by mouthwatering images of recipes from around the world, that are based on locally-sourced and sustainable ingredients, Cathy Katin-Grazzini takes us on an amazing cultural and culinary journey, providing us with constant reminders, along the way, of how amazing our planetary home is and how important it is to preserve it."

"Yours and your husband’s story of success can surely be an inspiration to so many who are wandering in the dark, unaware of a safe, simple and enduring treatment which can vanquish their disease. Keep up the wonderful work. You are a kindred spirit."
— Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., M.D., Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease: The Revolutionary, Scientifically Proven, Nutrition-Based Cure (2007).
"Cathy led us through an extraordinary wellness journey, providing evidence-based support and expertise in whole food, plant-based nutrition...This program...began with a kickstart which entailed lectures and cooking demonstrations spanning over three months...
She taught us how to make wonderful recipes that we thought were only available to us at the finest of restaurants, certainly not coming from our own kitchens...Our company was so enthralled by her teachings and fabulous recipes that we purchased her spectacular Love the Foods that Love You Back cookbook for every associate...
​
Cathy is an incredible teacher, who is caring and has a beautiful tenderness which comes through in a big way. My team and I are extremely grateful..."
