Synopses & Reviews
Choosing local, organic foods benefits your health and the planets. But how you cook is as important as what you cook: cooking itself is an under-reported yet substantial greenhouse gas creator. Now, Kate Heyhoe shows you how to think like an environmentalist in the kitchen. Without changing your politics or completely disrupting your routine, you can reduce your impact on the planet by rethinking how you cook, shop, and consume food. Using your favorite recipes, you can bake, broil, and grill in greener ways, saving fossil fuels and shrinking your cookprint.”
Review
Booklist, 4/15/09 “Fifty recipes…wrap up [Heyhoe’s] go-green dictate, all belying the myth that good for you isn’t great for the taste buds. This is a very careful, well-explained examination of the cookprint we decide to leave.”
Epicurious, 4/20/09
“Kate Heyhoe uses a buzzword to express the place where eco-consciousness meets good food.”
Providence Journal, 4/22/09
“The changes suggested…require very little effort on a cook’s part beyond paying attention and thinking. And how great will it make you feel to say you are just one more cook out to save the planet, one meal at a time.”
Body + Soul, June 2009
“Most of us are familiar with our environmental ‘footprint.’ There’s a new word…that hasn’t yet made it into the green lexicon but should: ‘cookprint.’”

“A dynamic combination of Michael Pollan, Alton Brown, and Wonder Woman all rolled into one. After finishing this book you will definitely be convinced that you can help save the planet while preparing dinner every night.”
Newsday, 7/21/09
“From ‘green grilling’ to cooking with less heat, from advice on choosing pans to ‘new ways to eat’ (no-cook pasta sauces), Heyhoe offers many ways to save money—and go ‘green.’”
