Love the Foods That Love the Planet

“I’ve traveled the world many times over, learning firsthand how the happiest and healthiest communities know exactly where their food comes from and how it was grown—only to return to a “modern” world where a team of chemists is needed to understand what’s really on my plate. After Cathy Katin-Grazzini used good, fresh food to help save the life of someone she loves, she now shares the kind of recipes that can help heal the planet through the power of regenerative farming and smarter food chains. I’m grateful for her delicious wisdom and all these ways to turn anxiety into action, one meal at a time.”
—Bill Weir, CNN anchor and Chief Climate Correspondent
