Warning: explicit. If you can't stand the heat stay out of the kitchen. This is a book review I'm writing before my pre-order is delivered because I know enough about eco-cooking to spot a gem.
This book is the new cookbook from the website Thug Kitchen (which I follow), The book is entitled "Thug Kitchen;Eat Like You Give A Fuck". The recipes I've seen and tried so far are my kind of recipes: easy, fast, healthy, delicious and most of all they are Earth friendly, meaning they include no animal products.
We now know that we (you, me and the rest of us humans) are poisoning our planet's atmosphere by our uber consumption of fossil fuel produced products. And we also now know that our diets can be the biggest climate culprits of all as meat production has an immense contribution (pdf) to climate change, water and land depletion, deforestation etc. But we can all be a part of solution to these issues by simply having a low carbon diet which consists of primarily plant products.
Dr. Jason Box is a climatologist and former professor at The Ohio State University and is now conducting extensive climate research on Greenland melting which I wrote about in five separate diaries found here . He was featured in the must see recent documentary "Chasing Ice" and is presently working on the Dark Snow Project. In this video, he gives us his take on how vegans can have a positive impact on climate.
So, yeah, eat like you give a fuck, not like you don't care about your health or our planet's climate change crisis. Here are some recipes from "Thug Kitchen" to make it easy.
Sweet Potato Loaf
Pina Colada Ice Cream
Beer and Bean Chili
