Climate change has become a looming subject for today’s young adults. Many wonder what kind of world their generation will witness if we all keep believing our actions do not affect the earth and its resources. Don’t Cook the Planet offers a collection of eco-friendly recipes and cooking tips from professional chefs—compiled by an eco-conscious teenager—that will inspire others to eat healthily while reducing their carbon footprint.

At the age of 18, Emily Abrams gives a personal approach to sustainability, knowing the choices she makes now will impact her future. Don’t Cook the Planet (Triumph Books, April 2014) is a helpful guide for a healthy lifestyle and a lighter conscience.

Abrams has compiled more than 70 recipes from an all-star collection of chefs and eco-activists to introduce teens (and adults!) to the big-pitcture and personal benefits of a sustainable lifestyle. Highlights include:

  • Stephanie Izard of Top Chef and Girl & the Goat restaurant shares her mouth-watering roasted cauliflower recipe
  • Tips on how you can reduce your carbon footprint and how essential it is for people to begin making these small changes
  • Master Chef judge and Executive Chef Graham Elliot’s deconstructed ceasar recipe
  • “Green” wine explained by The Daily Sip Bottlenotes – the greener the better!
  • Vegetarian chili recipe from Jayni and Chevy Chase, along with an explanation of the benefits of eating healthy eggs from their own chickens
  • Appetizers to entrees to dessert recipes – for a full range of healthy, eco-friendly options

An informative cookbook and lifestyle guide for college students, beginning chefs and anyone seeking recipes and tips for “green” living. Don’t Cook the Planet is an inspiring and practical look at how being conscious in the kitchen can improve personal health and the environment.
