showing how adopting a vegetarian diet can significantly cut the
cost of your shopping. With an emphasis on delicious global food,

Udon Pot, making the most of seasonal fare with Winter Root,
Cheddar & Cider Pie, or even buying in bulk for the Chipotle
Cakes with Chilli & Lime Yogurt. Complete with brilliant tips
and nuggets of information, all the recipes are modern,
international and truly mouth-watering.
There was a time when garden designer Cleve West questioned the
importance of his role as a garden designer. Two things changed his
mind: designing a garden for a hospital and adopting a vegan
lifestyle. Cleve's transition to veganism was a profound and varied
learning experience. He learned more about nutrition than when he
studied it as part of a sports science degree. He learned a great
deal about propaganda in the food industry and how, contrary to
what he'd been led to believe, the cows and chickens in the dairy
industry are far from 'happy'. He learned that animal agriculture
is a leading cause of climate change and a whole range of
environmental catastrophes. He found that many illnesses have their
origins in the consumption of animal products. He learned that a
plant-based diet can alleviate some of these illnesses and
sometimes even reverse them. He learned that a drive towards a
plant-based diet could offset many of the environmental aspects of
animal agriculture and make a positive transition to a more
sustainable future. Everything started falling into place. It was
all about plants. Suddenly, his role as a garden designer didn't
seem so trivial after all. The Garden of Vegan charts Cleve's
journey from its tentative beginnings to an understanding of the
restorative power of gardens and a realization that some of the
most destructive aspects of the Anthropocene can be mitigated or
even fixed by plants.
Cook from the farmer's market with inspired vegetarian
recipes--many of which are gluten-free and dairy-free--with a
French twist, all highlighting seasonal produce.
Beloved ChocolateAndZucchini.com food blogger Clotilde Dusoulier is
not a vegetarian. But she has, like many of us, chosen to eat less
meat and fish, and is always looking for new ways to cook what
looks best at the market. In "The French Market Cookbook, "she
takes us through the seasons in 82 recipes--and explores the love
story between French cuisine and vegetables.
Choosing what's ripe and in season means Clotilde does not rely
heavily on the cheese, cream, and pastas that often overpopulate
vegetarian recipes. Instead she lets the bright flavors of the
vegetables shine through: carrots are lightly spiced with star
anise and vanilla in a soup made with almond milk; tomatoes are
jazzed up by mustard in a gorgeous tart; winter squash stars in
golden Corsican turnovers; and luscious peaches bake in a
cardamom-scented custard. With 75 color photographs of the tempting
dishes and the abundant markets of Paris, and with Clotilde's
charming stories of shopping and cooking in France, "The French
Market Cookbook" is a transportive and beautiful cookbook for food
lovers everywhere.
