Treehugger.com reviews The Conscious Kitchen. Here’s an excerpt:
This is a great book if you are just getting started in this kind of thinking. It’s well researched and thorough and there is nothing preachy or doctrinaire about the writing. Ms. Zissu is well aware that everyone has a line they won’t cross, but she points out that some action is better than no action at all. She encourages the reader to strive for better and healthier food, and for a healthier kitchen. Even if you already do a lot of these things, there is still much to mine from this book. It’s filled with all kinds of useful information, like short tips about everything from fishing to making your own pasta, to lists for further reading on many topics, to sources for ingredients and organic beer.
