Big Green Cooking Rules

small_green_bulbThroughout my cookbook you’ll find eight recurring principles. Follow these eco-rules to turn any recipes you prepare into planet-pleasing foods.

  • 1Prepare plant-based meals
  • 2Be an energy-wise cook.
  • 3Eat by season.
  • 4Enjoy fresh foods naturally and simply prepared.
  • 5Go organic and eco-conscious when you can.
  • 6Buy locally when logical.
  • 7Practice the 4Rs: Reduce, Reuse, Repurpose, and Recycle.
  • 8Be realistic.

And, though it’s not a “rule,” have fun while cooking.
