内容説明
Your everyday food choices can change the world—and make meals taste better than ever
For anyone who has read The Omnivore’s Dilemma or seen Food, Inc. and longs to effect easy green changes when it comes to the food they buy, cook, and eat, The Conscious Kitchen is an invaluable resource filled with real world, practical solutions.
Alexandra Zissu walks readers through every kitchen-related decision with three criteria in mind: what’s good for personal health, what’s good for the planet, and what tastes great. Learn, among other things, how to:
- Keep pesticides, chemicals, and other harmful ingredients out of your diet
- Choose when to spend your dollars on organic fruit and when to buy conventionally grown
- Avoid plastic—including which kinds in particular and why
- Figure out what seafood is safe to eat and is sustainable
- Use COOL (country of origin labels) to your advantage
- Determine if a vegetable is genetically modified just from reading its PLU (price look up) code
- Decipher meat labels in the supermarket
- Cook using the least energy—good for the earth and your wallet
- Eat locally, even in winter
- Understand what “natural” and other marketing terms really mean
- Buy packaged foods wisely
Navigate farmers’ markets, giant supermarkets, and every shop in between to find the freshest and healthiest local ecologically grown and produced meat, dairy, fruits, and vegetables—no matter where you live
With The Conscious Kitchen as your guide, you will never again stand in the market bewildered, wondering what to buy. You can feel confident you are making the best possible choices for you, your family, and our planet.

She is the author of The Conscious Kitchen, coauthor of The Complete Organic Pregnancy, and contributes the “Ask an Organic Mom” column to The DailyGreen.com.

メディア掲載レビュー
“Think of The Conscious Kitchen as a nuts and bolts guide that helps make sense of the many things we consume without questioning, but probably know we should.”
Deborah Madison
“It could easily become as thumbed-through and trusted a resource for conscious cooks as Mastering the Art of French Cooking was for home cooks.”
LeitesCulinaria.com
“Zissu covers appliances, pots and pans, dealing with waste, and vetting your storage containers for toxins with a straightforward, non-judgmental tone that makes it all seem do-able. Her “some is better than none” philosophy means you can take on the suggestions that fit your life without feeling guilty about the ones you leave behind. An indispensable book for anyone looking to eat and cook more sustainably.”
The Associated Press
“One good book…take it along to the market with you and it will prove to be invaluable.”
The Detroit Press
“[A] great book…well researched and thorough and there is nothing preachy or doctrinaire about the writing….It’s filled with all kinds of useful information, like short tips about everything from fishing to making your own pasta, to lists for further reading on many topics, to sources for ingredients and organic beer.”
Treehugger.com
“[A] $13.99 paperback with so much information that it almost opens itself and reads to you.”
The Lakeland Ledger
“Concise…[and] eminently readable.”
The Montreal Gazette

Knowledge makes all the difference!

You know, it is not often that you can change your entire life in a month. However, around here, we have basically done just that. This all began with a simple book called The Conscious Kitchen from Alexandra Zissu...
First off, I have to admit, while I always felt guilty about it, I was not very environmentally conscious. When my youngest was born almost 5 years ago, I realized her birthday coincided with some cool Earth Day festivities in our town. So, I paid a bit more attention. You know how once you "see" something, you see it everywhere? Well, I had that going on. So, I visited health food stores and began attempting to recycle.
Sadly, I have to admit, my feeble attempts to get "greener" never lasted. I have 5 kids and making drastic grocery changes seemed so hard...so maybe that played a role? Is it because I am ADD? Oh, and we are not rich or really hippie, so maybe that was it? In my mind, I rationalized all kinds of reasons why I could not be more environmentally concerned.
Then I read Alexandra Zissu's book, The Conscious Kitchen. And I changed. Because...well, I could. I suddenly got it. Now, I am just sorry I did not understand some of the concepts earlier. I feel bad that I was not one of the pioneers. Because this is worth doing and it is not hard anymore.
I totally recommend reading her book (You can buy it on Amazon, here). The clear writing with specific examples about how to have great tasting food and maintain a green and healthy kitchen made going green the most natural thing in the world for us!

Natural living with ease

形式:ペーパーバック
"The Conscious Kitchen: The New Way to Buy and Cook Food - to Protect the Earth, Improve Your Health, and Eat Deliciously" is a delightful collection of advice on how to live a healthier lifestyle through careful choices of food and household products.
Loaded with ideas ranging from knowing how to identify the best eggs to selecting organic wine to disinfecting a home.
What author Alexandra Zissu wants to make clear is that healthier eating and living are within reach of most people, and that they don't need to spend a fortune at a fancy health-food store to achieve it.
Among other things, the author explains how to read labels to buy the safest products, understanding PLU codes to learn if a vegetable has been genetically modified, and how to shop at a farmers' market.
This is a bright and smart book, easy to read, easy to search for specific information, and a great addition to any home and is small enough to be easily carried on a shopping trip to verify the right way to go about making purchases.

Organic "beef"

形式:ペーパーバック|Amazon.co.jpで購入済み
My biggest beef with organics is that they seem very expensive and only affordable to the affluent. However in "The Conscious Kitchen" Alexandra gives great money saving tips! I love the "The Conscious Commandments". The list of better kid gear is a great guide to buying dishes and utensils that are toxin free. But I must say my favorite part of the book is the wine and beer section!
