We can live a healthy and happy life by controlling the choices we make, for ourselves and for our environment. By eating foods that are produced organically we reduce our exposure to harmful pesticides and artificial fertilisers. Organic agriculture preserves healthy soils and prevents loss of biodiversity which is critical for a balanced ecosystem for our planet. This book offers you a selection of international recipes, vegetarian and non-vegetarian, using organic products so that you can enjoy the best gourmet food that is best for your health as well.You may like to start with the Baby Spinach Salad with Grilled Onions and Tomato Vinaigrette, or a fragrant Tomato-Coriander Broth.
For the main course you may like to choose a Moroccan Vegetable and Chickpea Stew with Couscous, or go Italian with Pasta Primavera, or go Asian with Bean Curd and Bean-sprouts in light Soy Sauce with Chinese Green.
