About the Book

A Neighborhood Café 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 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 260-page book, there are informational tools to help you create those environments, along with 66 recipes and many detailed ideas for healthy, affordable, low- and no-cook meals and snacks. There are two editions - one black and white paperback and a color edition, available in hardcover and paperback, which includes 22 color food photographs. Both additions contain black-and-white botanical illustrations. See the recipe and photo page for sample recipes from the book.
