“Planet-friendly” food can often seem dull and uninspiring. Cathy Katin-Grazzini is on a mission to change that. Her cookbook will change your perception of what conscious cooking really looks like. It’s unique because it pairs the scientific research with delicious recipes: from sauces and starters to tempting mains and desserts. She shows us that we can reduce our carbon footprint while increasing the taste factor at the same time. It’s not about sacrifice or what we’re giving up. I’m now off to try some myself."

How We Can Be the First Generation to Build a Sustainable Planet (Little, Brown Spark, 2024).

"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."

"You'll do the planet a favor--and your body and your tongue a favor at the same time!"

     

— Bill McKibben, author of The End of Nature         

"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. 

"Our diets are major contributors to our carbon footprints, but food is one of life’s great pleasures. This inventive cookbook celebrates superb food paired with doing right by the climate we depend on and leave for our children. Like all real climate solutions, a plant-based diet is not a sacrifice but an upgrade, with multiple benefits, from our personal health to the health of our planet. Here’s your guidebook to cooking up a better and more delicious world."

LOVE THE FOODS THAT LOVE YOU BACK 

is for the food curious and people who like to cook as well as for home cooks who want to reinvigorate their repertoires and uncover the healing properties of food. One thing that Katin-Grazzini guarantees is that her recipes are sure to be crowd pleasers whether you’re an herbivore, carnivore, or omnivore.

"Plants are rising in popularity, so I want to entice food lovers and excite their imaginations with creative remakes of traditional favorites as well as new dishes that are delicious, original, and by the way, really good for us, the planet, and our fellow creatures," says Katin-Grazzini. 

 

LOVE THE FOODS THAT LOVE YOU BACK is just the kind of inspiration for those who want to eat mindfully but don’t want to skimp on taste and the foods they crave.
