⚡️ 11 Quotes from the book

“This book is a celebration of food, cooking and togetherness; of the principles that ground how we live, cook and eat; of showing love to those we hold dear, to our communities and to ourselves.”

“Our food system has the single biggest impact on the climate. It affects every inch of our planet and every creature on it. If we want to help slow, and one day (hopefully) begin to reverse, climate change, it is widely agreed that the most powerful thing we can do is eat fewer animals and more plants.”

“None of us is perfect and the science is complicated. At times it feels hard to make the right choices. But every small change adds up.”

“More than ever, it’s important to be mindful of how we spend our money. Eating without meat or fish will almost always be more affordable.”

“Food is the great connector and has immense power for change. Every meal is a chance to focus on the great joy of eating.”

“So while environmental measures, such as our carbon footprint and water use, are important in considering food choices that are better for environmental health, we need to take a commonsense approach and create a balance of foods that benefit our own health too.”

“We’ve become a bit obsessed with protein. In some ways it’s easy to see why. Protein performs a vital role in every cell in our body.”

“I don’t want a veggie burger that tastes and looks like meat. Making something what it’s not is not my thing. I want food to taste of what’s in it.”

“A more wide-ranging way of viewing biodiversity is that it represents the knowledge learned by evolving species over millions of years about how to survive through the vastly varying environmental conditions Earth has experienced. As Darwin said, everything in nature is connected.”

“Species of plants, animals and seeds are being lost. The rate of extinction of all species over the last 100 years is greater than the average of the previous two million years. Alarming to say the least.”

“In as little as 60 years we will no longer be able to feed ourselves if we continue to grow, farm and consume as we do now.”
