The Conscious Kitchen: A Beginner's Guide to Creating a Sustainable, No-Waste Kitchen for a Healthier Home and Planet

Description:

About this item:

Immy Lucas of popular YouTube channel Sustainably Vegan empowers you to embrace seasonal, plant-based eating and other low-impact practices to create your own conscious kitchen.

We all want to make a difference in the fight against climate change. We all want to live on a healthier planet, have healthier homes, invest in a healthier future. But going fully zero-waste, living off-grid, or completely abandoning fossil fuels isn’t easy, affordable, or even possible for many people. For the average consumer who just wants to do a little better, where to begin?

For Immy Lucas, the answer is clear. Since our food system is one of the most high-impact, wasteful areas of modern life, the path to a more sustainable future starts in the kitchen. In The Conscious Kitchen, Immy provides you with the starting tools you need to create a more sustainable kitchen in your own home by rethinking the way you source, prepare, cook, store, and dispose of food.

Rooted in a strong foundation of seasonal, plant-based eating, the book is all about how small steps can have a big impact. How switching to a more seasonal way of eating, being a more considerate shopper, investing in traditional skills like pickling and fermenting, and considering alternative uses for food scraps and leftovers can help improve the health of your home and, ultimately, the health of the planet.

In The Conscious Kitchen, you’ll discover:

A guide to year-round seasonal eating with more than 30 plant-based recipes
Food preservation recipes and techniques based on traditional skills like canning, preserving, and fermenting food
Strategies and recipes for cooking with food scraps and leftovers
Ethical shopping and food sourcing guidelines
Easy food storage and organization hacks to help your stores last longer
An overview of composting techniques and how to use compost to start your first kitchen garden
And more!

Eminently practical, approachable, and ideal for beginners, The Conscious Kitchen is the perfect book for climate advocates, vegan cooks, homesteaders, zero-waste warriors, and anyone interested in taking their first steps into the world of more sustainable living.

The most used book in my kitchen!

Lovely, useful, and charming book

L.Z. · 23 October 2024

Fans of Immy's YouTube channel will not be disappointed. This book is about half recipe book and half full of information about living more sustainably. I am not new to trying to live sustainably, but I learned some new things and also am looking forward to trying the recipes in the fermentation section (4 kinds of kraut!). The recipes are all quite appealing and are comprised of ordinary ingredients that most of us have around, especially if you already eat a vegetarian and seasonal diet. There are also plenty of recipes that you could make on a weeknight, as well as several delicious sounding breads. That being said, most of the recipes are just creative and original enough that her versions aren't ones found in other vegan cookbooks. I'm planning on making the nut roast and sheperd's pie for holiday meals this year but I suspect that I'll try making pretty much everything in the book. The photographs are lovely and Immy's voice shines through. This would make a really nice gift!

Worth it!

I couldn’t wait for this book to be released & it exceeded my expectations!! The photography is impeccable! The book is filled with so many wonderful inspiring ideas/recipes that I have yet to see in a book before. It is also the perfect size. Not too big & not too small. Great for keeping handy in the kitchen. Thank you so much Immy, this book is a gem!
