Story
We are aware that transport, electricity or coal contribute to global warming, yet it was not too long ago that most of us became conscious about the fact that the average daily diet affects the environment; especially meat consumption. According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, the world’s agricultural system is the biggest contributing sector to climate change, out of any industry.
As the environment lies at my heart and we are all affected by increasing temperatures, I decided not want to wait any longer, and to encourage you and everyone else to join my journey of 52 meatless Mondays and wheat-free breakfast ideas. 60 recipes with seasonal and regional products that cause as little harm as possible, yet are filling, nutritious and at the same time delicious.
My cookbook isn't just another vegetarian cookbook, but informs people thoroughly how meat production, from deforestation to feed and water usage, affects the environment and hence the daily life of so many. The aim is not to turn you into a vegetarian, but to raise awareness and ask people to reduce their meat intake in order to make small but lasting changes.
After having researched what the effects are, how easy it is to make the right grocery shopping decisions and to eat consciously, I am convinced it will be an inspiration for many and you will discover how simply it is to contribute to the greater good and live more responsibly.
Although I have found a publisher, various costs have to be covered upfront in order to start printing the version, for which I am now raising funds. The recipes have been cooked, test eaten and photographed and are ready to go into print.
Any donation, small or big is greatly appreciated and will help me to turn my project that I have been working on for a long time into reality, but more importantly it will hopefully change many people's attitude to food and raise awareness what it takes to produce a piece of meat.
If you are questioning my cooking skills and taste, which by all is right and fair, I can reassure you that both my grandparents have successfully ran their own hotels and restaurants and I am pleased to have them on my side with helpful hints and tricks making sure every penny invested is worth it.
Those donating £50 or over will receive a hard copy in return if the goal is achieved. I will get in touch with you personally, shall it be a significant higher amount. All donations will be refunded in case I won't be able to cover costs.
