The cookbook you and your family and your friends have been waiting for: Eating Lightly for our planet for our health for robust pleasure! Eating Lightly is a collection of over 400 vegetarian and vegan recipes from friends of the Missouri Coalition for the Environment, ranging from the family of the Missouri Botanical Garden’s Pat and Peter Raven to some of Missouri’s most creative professional chefs to your nextdoor neighbor. Longtime resident of the 6100 block of Kingsbury, author Peggy Hermes served as editor. Many of the contributors are residents – current and former – of the Skinker-DeBaliviere and Parkview neighborhoods. Not only have contributors shared favorite recipes but, often, the stories behind them.
This is a cookbook with personality! Eight Missouri artists, including our own Gene Hoefel and Hilary Hitchcock, have contributed work to make it a visual feast as well.
In addition to offering a wide range of vegetarian and vegan appetizers, soups, salads, breads, side dishes, entrees, and desserts, this collection notes which of its recipes are gluten-free. Copies can be purchased for only $20 apiece at the Missouri Coalition for the Environment office at 6267 Delmar, Suite 2E, in the U-City Loop (always good to call first, 314-727-0600) and by cash or check only with a visit to any of several St. Louis locations, including Left Bank Books and Plowsharing Crafts.
All proceeds from the sale of Eating Lightly will benefit the Missouri Coalition for the Environment, a member-supported and member-directed organization that has been strengthening environmental protections, holding government and corporations accountable, defending the environment in court, and mobilizing citizens to action for over forty years.
