The Eco-Kitchen

Recipes from an ecological kitchen: healthy meals for you and your planet, by Lorna J. Sass.

More and more people are becoming cognizant of issues relating to the current ecological crisis. Many are adopting lifestyles based on the idea that we need to be responsible about how we use the resources on our planet. And, often they start by changing the way they eat. This book is a guide to making that change. The book begins with suggestions for your pantry. Information on beans, grains, nuts, dried fruits and dried herbs and spices is given. Proper storage is explained. Next, the book explains the use of wok cooking, pressure cooking and steaming. Twelve menus using recipes from the book follow. Recipe chapter topics include grains, rice, pasta, tofu, land and sea vegetables, sauces, dips, quick breads and desserts. The book ends with lists of books for further reading and a list of mail order sources.
