The book is a well put together, almost militant, manifesto about our food and current food culture.Focusing on organic and sustainable food it has a well organized and thought provoking collection of essays and recipes.

This book is more useful as reading material than a cookbook - a great place to start if you want a (biased) view of how the food industry works and what we're actually putting in our bodies.
From my blog:
...full of information about the food industry, as well as recommendations (and meals) for things you can do to make your own habits more sustainable. This week we made mofongo with wild mushroom sauce, along with rosemary-chile mashed potatoes, using as many organic products as possible. It was good, but mainly made me long for the farmers' market, where we'll be able to get organic AND locally-grown things every week.

Great book about eating organically while living in an urban setting. Not too preachy, either. Yummy recipes!
