Food Is the Solution: What to Eat to Save the World--80+ Recipes for a Greener Planet and a Healthier You

Matt’s book stands apart from all their modern vegan / health / environment books that have been published in the past decade. I’ve become jaded, and skip right to the recipe section. He’s a brilliant writer, and kept my attention throughout the entire book. Within the chapters there are fantastic blurbs from celebrities and political figures relating to veganism, but it didn’t feel like fluff.The recipes themselves are exciting, with easy to follow directions and beautiful photos. This book is a must add to your cookbook collection.

I've been waiting for this book to come out ever since I discovered it (pre-release) on the Good Food Institute website. It's a beautiful book, inside and out. The argument is solid - a plant based diet is kinder to our planet. The recipes are imaginative and varied, proving that a plant based diet can be delicious and interesting (I am so excited by the Oyster Mushroom a la Mariniere!) My boyfriend does not follow a vegan diet, but he is inching closer. This book may well push him across the line. Thanks!

As an omnivore, I hugely appreciate the attention to flavor, color, and texture of these recipes. Good news! You can eat well and do good at the same time. Fresh, colorful veggies are central to many dishes, with a supporting cast of herbs, spices, citrus, and grains to make them pop. Cashew milk, rice paper bacon, and peanut butter cups are all things you can make at home (who knew?!). Nutritional yeast reveals its transformative powers! Old favorites are brought back to life in tasty new forms--sloppy joes, pierogis, mac and cheese, pop tarts, burgers, crab cakes, buffalo wings, and pumpkin pie. Oh, and the book itself is stunning. This is a vegan cookbook that will surprise and delight everyone. Even the omnivores!

While not advertised as a cookbook, this is the primary reason I purchased the book. I like books promoting health, with recipes containing health-building ingredients. This book does contain vegan recipes, however, there are also many recipes that include all-purpose-flour, white sugar, and oil, as well as other refined products. I think the "healthier you" should have been left off the title. If you are looking for recipes with plant-based, health-promoting ingredients I'd look elsewhere.

It's a fun read with beautiful visuals and done in a way that's perfect for anyone. Whether someone is just starting to look to eat better for the world and themselves, or someone who's been eating that way for years, it's a solid fit for all. I highly recommend it!

I knew that we Americans eat too much meat and have horrendous factory farming of animals, but I had no idea that food production worldwide—meat, poultry, eggs, milk products, and seafood—has such a destructive effect on the entire planet. This is an eye-opening look at what each of us can do in even small ways to make a big difference to this home of ours. After all, as someone said recently, “There is no ‘planet B’.”

Much more than a great cookbook with easy to follow yet delicious recipes for all lifestyles, Matt’s book informs and educates us on the connection between what we eat and how we can positively impact the world we live in. The narrative is compelling, the photos beautiful and the recipes delicious!

Changing habits can be hard especially when it comes to what we eat and why. Without using a hammer, Matt Prescott educates while answering the question, "what's for dinner?". Beautifully written and photographed, Prescott's cookbook truly gives us "food for thought". Delicious!

really disappointed. Most recipes requires a lot of weird substitutes for meat and cheese. I’m not going to use this book often

Prinzipiell ein schönes Buch aber leider sind die Rezepte alles andere als gesund... Weismehl, raffinierter Zucker, weisser Reis, Öle... Auf 2 Seiten wird sogar Dr. Greger erwähnt, der sich nicht für eine vegane Ernährung sondern eine pflanzenbasierte Vollwertkost ohne Öle, Zucker und Salz einsetzt. Wie es dann also zu diesem Rezeotteil kommen konnte ist mir schleierhaft. Das Buch muss so leider zurück geschickt werden.

Inspiring beautiful book!
