In each chapter, Naomi invites you on her journey to build a planet-friendly kitchen with help from her husband Paul and their dog Rue.

Each chapter contains a wealth of flexible recommendations for achievable, evidence-based changes that make a real impact for the planet. Chapters on reducing food waste, understanding plant-based, local, seasonal, and organic eating, and gardening teach us about the food on our plates.

Chapters on the potential and pitfalls of composting and recycling, learning what it really means to send waste to a landfill, and navigating the nitty gritty of disposable and reusable items help us reduce garbage and grow toward a circular economy. From water use, to cleaning, to choosing appliances, to our beloved coffees and teas, Building a Sustainable Kitchen leaves no stone unturned.

This heartfelt, practical guide proves that building a sustainable kitchen is not just possible, but that it can also be joyful and transformative.
