About the Book

“A Neighborhood Café” guides the reader through glimpses of our foodservice 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 to create or be a part of a Neighborhood Café. It’s a workable, inclusive model for coming together over healthy scrumptious food, enjoyable social interaction, and effective problem-solving. Throughout the book, there are informational tools to help you create those environments, along with 66 recipes, 22 color photos, 22 black and white botanical illustrations, and many detailed ideas for healthy, affordable, low- and no-cook meals and snacks.
