Books

Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver

The author of The Poisonwood Bible and Prodigal Summer describes the year her family spent buying and eating only food that was raised in their neighborhood, or better yet, by themselves. I’m only about 40 pages into this so far but am loving it.

Clean Food by Terry Walters

This cookbook provides simple recipes and straightforward descriptions of any more exotic ingredients,  focusing on using local, seasonal ingredients.



The Unhealthy Truth: How Our Food Is Making Us Sick and What We Can Do About It
by Robyn O’Brien

Robyn O’Brien, a mother of four, wrote this book to spread the message and call others to action after discovering the prevalence of hidden toxins in our food and the plethora of research that connects these toxins with recent increases in allergies, ADHD, cancer, and asthma in children. Her journey began when her youngest child was diagnosed with an egg allergy, and in this book she shares her story, her research, and her tips for making changes, small and large, in your own family’s diet.
