Seasonal, organic, local—these are the earth-friendly food choices more and more modern cooks are making. In her new book, chef and caterer Louisa Shafia presents 85 healthful and delicious recipes that follow the cycle of the seasons, from Baby Artichokes with Fresh Chervil to Persian New Year’s Soup with Beans, Noodles, and Herbs.

Shafia emphasizes that cooking for an eco-conscious life may start with small changes in the way we shop, cook, and eat, but these changes sustain us and the environment. Her encouraging and practical advice on how to “green your cuisine” includes tips on finding animal products produced ethically and responsibly, composting, and low-waste shopping and entertaining.
