Description
#foodforce for good is an invitation to fall in love with the kitchen and spruce up the dinner table as the contributors share recipes they learnt to love in childhood, created in their kitchens or gathered from their travels. Every recipe is a family favourite, and you are invited to pull up a seat and share in the tastes and memories you will find on these pages. Along with the 101 recipes, many of which can be prepared quickly and easily, you will find tips on how to keep mealtimes and snack times interesting, healthy and delicious.
Food is the great equalizer. From royalty to poverty, we all need to eat in order to survive. The dinner table has also been at the epicentre of human relationships. Romantic meals, family dinners, business meetings, catchups over a light snack, celebrations around tables ladened with food. Food is not just a necessity, but a pleasure around which numerous traditions have been built up over time.
However, in our modern world, several realities have struck at the heart of the food story. While some have plenty, with extra to throw away, others do not have enough. While industries have burgeoned to provide variety and consistency of supply, these same industries are causing difficulties for the planet, the environment and threatening that supply. And despite this supply of variety in our food aisle, our busy lives mean that we too often return to the same tired recipes or just go for whatever is quick.
Ines, Naomi and Mike, along with their co-contributors, aim to provide small answers to each of these big problems. The purchase of this book will contribute to charity work aimed at helping those without enough to eat.
The recipes are all plant-based because, as a global community, we are learning that reducing our reliance on animal-based products is going to help our planet, which will ultimately help us. The recipes also encourage using seasonal food in order to reduce our carbon footprint, to again help our climate, our local producers and our planet. They also invite you, the reader and co-cook, to join in and share your ideas as you connect with a community and experiment with the smell, flavours and textures you will discover in these pages.
