A cookbook for everyone on EWG's list
By Ken Cook, EWG President
My favorite gifts are recently released cookbooks. I love to give and get them. I know picking the right cookbook can be a challenge - especially when there are so many great ones these days to help us cook and eat healthier and more sustainably. Something to be thankful for!
Rather than struggle in the cookbook section by myself, I asked the EWG staff (some of whom even cook!) to put together a list of some of their favorite green cookbooks for this holiday season - ones they might like to receive (or already have and love!). They've seen more than a few in recent months, as we work more and more on the issues around healthy food and sustainable farming.
Without further ado, here are EWG Staff's 8 Top "Green" Cookbook Picks - I hope you find one that's a perfect fit for a loved one or just for yourself:
Quick note: If you shop through our special Amazon links (below with each cookbook), not only will you be able to conveniently shop online and snag a terrific cookbook for a cook in your life, you'll be supporting EWG at the same time - no matter what you purchase. So you support our work (thank you!) - at no extra cost to you! Now that's a gift that keeps on giving.
