Plant-based cooking is the single biggest trend in the culinary world and for very good reasons, too: improved health, better weight management, proven reversal of heart disease and others chronic issues as well as easier on your wallet and oh-so-much better for the planet. Organic gardener, environmentalist and pop-up chef Alice Mary Alvrez wants to make it as easy as possible to reduce your footprint, grow and eat fabulously organic veggies, and maintain a planet-positive, animal-friendly lifestyle. As she says, "I like to make it so simple that it's 'brain-free so you don't even have to think about it any more, you fall in love with a healthier and greener way of life." Her book, Plant-powered Cooking is simply brimming with brilliant ideas you can use from tips for growing your own food (even if you have a hard time keeping houseplants alive), shopping and cooking techniques for every mealtime and even low-labor secrets for harvesting and canning the bounty from your own garden. Learn surprising facts about the impact of meat and animal products on the environment and how even small do-it-yourself ideas lead to real impact. Begin with small changes such as "Meat-free Mondays," then eliminate all meat out of your diet and replace it with beautiful food grown by your own hand. With Alice Alvrez's Plant-powered Cooking, you and your family will be living the good life.
