The book
The intent of the work is to involve, disseminate and lead the reader to reflect on a more sustainable lifestyle, from the table to the choices and actions carried out in everyday life, underlining the importance of the individual within of a much larger and more complex ecosystem from which it is not possible to isolate oneself. In the first two chapters, all the benefits of a plant-based diet are analysed, with studies in hand, debunking the most common myths relating to this type of diet and also proposing two examples of seasonal menus. In the central chapter there are 50 vegetable recipes, created and tested by the author, moving from revisited traditional Italian recipes to international ones. Finally, in the last chapter the attention is focused on everything relating to the theme of environmental sustainability, from tips for the home, to anti-waste tips, separate waste collection, up to creative tips and self-production within everyone’s reach .
