Restore: A Modern Guide to Sustainable Eating

by Gizzi Erskine

Over 100 recipes for real good food – that just happens to be good for you, and the planet.

This book is full of practical steps and advice that can help push you towards living and eating more sustainably. Gizzi wants to investigate the real carbon footprint of food and look at the reality of what we need to support our environment, our agricultural industry and bodies. She uses this information to create accessible and attainable recipes for readers.

Using the principles of eating seasonally, less meat and more plants, eating root-to-shoot or nose-to-tail, and using clever techniques to maximise flavour, Gizzi will give us recipes that don’t compromise on flavour or satisfaction, but which are better for us, and the planet. Thoughtful, insightful, but above all a delicious collection of recipes that show how good food doesn’t have to cost the earth.

This is very much a handbook on how to shop, eat and cook, full of recipes that are a celebration of life.

I received this very useful book for Christmas, having been unaware of its existence until then. Thank you very much to the kind family member who gifted it to me! I share Gizzi Erskine's love of food that is good: good quality local ingredients, good recipes, good for the planet. Not only are the recipes interesting and centred on ingredients that are grown in the UK, Gizzi gives very solid information at the beginning of each section on the types of food therein, as well a good advice on substitutions and innovations.

A very enjoyable read as well as a useful addition to the cookbook shelf.
