About the Book

“A Neighborhood Cafe” guides the reader through glimpses of our food service industry of the past, our present-day food supply, and a future that empowers us to make necessary changes together for a cleaner planet and more equitable society. With a focus on our food chain, and several of the author's personal experiences within it, the book outlines steps to take in order to create or be a part of a Neighborhood Cafe. It’s a workable, inclusive model for coming together over healthy scrumptious food, enjoyable social interaction, and effective problem-solving. There are informational tools throughout the book to help you create those environments, along with 66 recipes, 22 color photos, and many detailed ideas for healthy, affordable, low- and no-cook meals and snacks.
