Cathy Katin-Grazzini: Love the Foods That Love the Planet

Love the Foods that Love the Planet, Recipes to Cool the Climate and Excite the Senses (HCI Books, 2024).

What we eat and how we produce food matters — for the health of our bodies and the health of the planet. Our world is careening toward warming climate tipping points beyond which recovery may not be possible, but changing how we eat can drastically reduce greenhouse gases and help mitigate the growing risk to the Earth’s ecosystems.

In her eco-friendly cookbook, Love the Foods That Love the Planet, Cathy Katin-Grazzini shares over 100 tantalizing low-carbon dishes for climate-conscious home cooks who don’t want to skimp on taste.

This year may exceed 2023 as the hottest year on record, and more than 30 percent of global greenhouse gases that are driving the warming climate come from growing and raising food sources. Favoring foods that carry a very light climate footprint is an impactful way to help stem the tide.

“Want to slash your individual climate footprint? It's easy, it's delicious, it's super healthy, and it starts with your fork,” said Katin-Grazzini. “We all have the power to make choices that help cool the planet, and the time to act is now.”
