The Bite:
Put on your "Kiss the Cook" apron and hold onto your chef's hat. There are tons of amazing recipes out there, but we've boiled down the options into a few of our lean and green faves.
The Benefits: 
  • Get healthy and support the sustainable food market by incorporating these cooks' low eco-impact suggestions into all your meals.
  • Mmmmm.
  • One recipe fits all. Omnivores, vegetarians and vegans alike: you can easily alter these recipes to fit your diet.
  • Did we say "Mmmmm?"
Personally Speaking: 

Heather is a self-proclaimed foodie whose tastes run from healthy (Dr. Weil's The Healthy Kitchen is a fave) to horrifically bad for you (Nigella's mac and cheese, anyone?). To get her favorite red velvet cake recipe, visit today's blog, but be warned: soooo not good for you.

Wanna Try: 
  • The Ethical Gourmet - everything from delicious recipes to how a barcode can tell you whether your food’s organic or genetically modified ($13).
  • Chez Panisse - Heather's tried almost everything in this recipe goldmine ($16).
  • Good Food - the classic nutrition guide ($5).
  • The New Moosewood Cookbook - the latest in a line of bestselling vegetarian cookbooks - bet you can't find a bad meal in here ($13).
  • How It All Vegan! - Ideal Bite team member Toshio ended his 8-month stint as a vegan with a fast food burger, but still cooks using this book ($13).
  • Organic.org - recipes with an emphasis on organic and local food.
  • Veg 101: Food Substitutions - from Vegetarian Times, a quick'n'easy primer for ingredient substitution.

Cocktail Fact

Ann B. Davis, who played Alice the housekeeper on The Brady Bunch, insisted on having something in the pot when she pretended to cook.

Bang For The Bite

We swear that some of these recipes could save the world - especially if you start with locally-sourced ingredients.
