Food Matters: A Guide to Conscious Eating with More Than 75 Recipes
by Mark Bittman
Cristina's Comments:
"After reading books like The Omnivore's Dilemma and Fast Food Nation I became more aware of how our food is made and how it impacts our health and the environment. Until reading Food Matters I didn't know how to put this information into practice. Bittman takes the same minimalist approach he uses to demystify cooking flavorful meals and applies it to making flavorful, healthful, earth-conscious meals. It is a truly doable practical approach to the problem that does not advocate anything radical like cutting out meat and processed foods altogether. It offers tasty alternatives that make it less likely that you will have a hankering for them. (The Root Vegetable Chips are awesome!)" (read more)

Wreck This Journal
by Keri Smith
Faith's Comments:
"For someone who's stuck in a creative rut, this may just be the solution. Filled with rather unusual creative prompts, this book will encourage you to do such bizarre things as taste the page, spill/spit/make coffee rings on the page, rip out a page, put it in a pocket and wash it, then put it back into the book. It's fun. Seriously fun. I mean kid making mud pies or scribbling on the walls fun." (read more)
