plant-based meals to your weekly routine. In the pages of this
inspiring and eminently practical book you will discover: More than
100 earth-friendly, utterly delectable recipes, from splendid
soups, substantial sides, and glorious salads to vibrant main
courses and even sweet desserts, that leave no unusable waste

whenever possible, even when you live in a cold climate with
limited crops nearby Surefire tips on how to save, store, and cook
the parts of plants that you might be throwing out now Advice on

The New York Times Bestseller _____________ For decades, the diet
wars have pitted advocates for the low-carb, high-fat paleo diet
against advocates of the exclusively plant-based vegan diet and
dozens of other diets leaving most of us bewildered and confused.
For those of us on the sidelines, trying to figure out which
approach is best has been nearly impossible - both extreme diets
have unique benefits and drawbacks. But how can it be, we've asked
desperately, that our only options are bacon and butter three times
a day or endless kale salads? How do we eat to reverse disease,
optimal health, longevity and performance. How do we eat to reverse
climate change? There must be a better way! Fortunately, there is.
With The Pegan Diet, a food is medicine approach, Mark Hyman
explains how to take the best aspects of the paleo diet (good fats,
limited refined carbs, limited sugar) and combine them with the
vegan diet (lots and lots of fresh, healthy veggies) to create a
delicious diet that is not only good for your brain and your body,
but also good for the planet. Featuring 30 recipes, and plenty of
infographics illustrating the concepts, The Pegan Diet offers a
balanced and easy-to-follow approach to eating that will help you
get, and stay, fit, healthy, focused, and happy - for life. 'Now,
more than ever, we need to utilize the power of food to help our
society overcome the epidemic of chronic disease. The Pegan Diet
offers an easy-to-implement solution for anyone to get started on
their health journey using 21 basic principles that show how we can
use food as medicine.' Arianna Huffington, Founder & CEO,

weaves in reflections on art, religion, culture, music, and more,
so even if you're not an epicure, there's something for
everyone."-Men's Journal Bestselling author Sandor Katz-an
"unlikely rock star of the American food scene" (New York Times),
with over 500,000 books sold-gets personal about the deeper
meanings of fermentation. In 2012, Sandor Ellix Katz published The
Art of Fermentation, which quickly became the bible for foodies
around the world, a runaway bestseller, and a James Beard Book
Award winner. Since then his work has gone on to inspire countless
professionals and home cooks worldwide, bringing fermentation into
the mainstream. In Fermentation as Metaphor, stemming from his
personal obsession with all things fermented, Katz meditates on his
art and work, drawing connections between microbial communities and
aspects of human culture: politics, religion, social and cultural
movements, art, music, sexuality, identity, and even our individual
thoughts and feelings. He informs his arguments with his vast
knowledge of the fermentation process, which he describes as a
slow, gentle, steady, yet unstoppable force for change. Throughout
this truly one-of-a-kind book, Katz showcases fifty mesmerizing,
original images of otherworldly beings from an unseen
universe-images of fermented foods and beverages that he has
photographed using both a stereoscope and electron
microscope-exalting microbial life from the level of "germs" to
that of high art. When you see the raw beauty and complexity of
microbial structures, Katz says, they will take you "far from
absolute boundaries and rigid categories. They force us to
reconceptualize. They make us ferment." Fermentation as Metaphor
broadens and redefines our relationship with food and fermentation.
