NEW BOOK by Sheila Struyck: “Lekker is dat: Duurzaam koken kun jij ook”
A culinary read and do book for the light-green home cook, who wants to cook more sustainably but is unsure how. Everything Sheila Struyck learned as a chef about delicious and sustainable cooking in ready-to-use chunks for the home cook. After all, a bit of this and a bit of that goes a long way!
You get rules of thumb such as: ‘don't throw away the flavour’, and “treat vegetables as your most expensive ingredient”. Simple ‘donkey tricks’, with tasty dishes as examples. No tricky theory and finger-pointing, but catchy stories larded with tips, anecdotes and examples. Not a study book, more a collection of columns from which one reads a piece each time to be inspired. Step by step.
And do you want to get started? Turn the book over for the tasty recipes, in the order of the seasons. With simple explanations, ingredients that can be bought in any shop. And because we cook in season, affordable too. Half of the recipes are without meat, fish and dairy products. And less than 20% are with a little meat, fish or shellfish. Then you can taste for yourself how delicious sustainable is. Bit by bit.
Because Struyck spent 35 years ‘just’ cooking before becoming a professional chef on a plant-forward mission, the recipes are really suitable for home cooks. So you will playfully master the principles of sustainable cooking without realising you were learning. So that you too can start cooking delicious sustainable food with confidence. (only in Dutch)
