The Biodynamic Food and Cookbook

More about the book

Biodynamics emphasizes respect for nature, sustainability, and spiritual ecology, focusing on flavorful, nutritious food. This beautifully illustrated cookbook is filled with healthy recipes and rich information. The biodynamic movement, supported by renowned chefs and celebrities like Prince Charles, began in 1924 when Rudolf Steiner lectured a small group of farmers on revitalizing agriculture amid the rise of industrial farming. He advocated for preserving the qualitative aspects of food through a holistic approach. The book features hundreds of color photographs and explains biodynamic principles within the context of food and cooking throughout history. Author Wendy Cook, known for her bestselling Foodwise, guides readers through the seasons with over 150 delicious recipes, drawing from her extensive experience in biodynamic nutrition. She explores the ethics of food and the foundations of a balanced diet while capturing the vibrant essence of Mallorca, which influences her culinary style. Additionally, the book includes sections on breads, sauces, salads, desserts, drinks, and more, making it an essential resource for any healthy kitchen.
