Tom's approach reflects a deep understanding and respect for all that goes into making something taste delicious - the ecology, the community and the cooking. His book is an exciting continuation of his fight for good food. I can't wait to read it. - Dan Barber

Amazing book with great information for old vegans, newcomers, and to those testing the waters or those who want to reduce their waste and become more environmentally conscious. There's a variety of recipes from all over the world and there's even a kombucha recipe which I am stoked to try.

Hunt has written a highly informative and resourceful book. Packed full with recipes and climate-conscious thinking I look forward to referring back to the Root to Fruit manifesto and trying some new plant-based recipes.
