Amanda Pike: Florida's Food Forest Garden Cookbook, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Florida Food Forest Cookbook is the resource cooks need to use the produce they grow or buy to create healthy, easy-to-prepare, zero-waste meals. For those looking to convert their lawns and backyards into healthy food forest gardens (using the author's Transforming Florida Yards), this companion cookbook gives 345 sweet and savory recipes and menus for 20 easy-to-grow, sustainable plants that are free of pesticides, herbicides, toxins and additives. Recipes -- containing no more than 6 ingredients-- are quick and easy to prepare.

Florida has high rates of food insecurity and prevalence of chronic diseases. One-third of Florida's children are food insecure, one in three is overweight and one in 6 has learning disabilities, both attributable to poor diet and lifestyle. If the trend continues, three-fourths of the Florida population will be overweight to obese and half will be suffering from diabetes by 2030.

The Florida Food Forest Cookbook is a back-to-basics manifesto that can empower home gardeners to enhance their quality of life and culinary knowledge and improve their health and landscape.
